My haul of cooking charcoal drying off after converting some wood waste from around the property.

I also got 3 wheelbarrows of smaller fine charcoal which went into the vegetable garden.

I'm starting to think about producing plant food at home again after becoming disinterested in it due my carnivore experiment. I think animals are a critical aspect that I neglected when I first looked at permaculture. I think perennial fruit trees, annual fruits, herbs & spices are worthwhile growing.

Absolute. I eat a tonne of scotch fillet but fresh fruit and vegetables, especially ones you have grown yourself without the pesticides and herbicides, are fantastic! 🌱

I haven't really eaten vegetables other than potatoes for about 5 years now. My garden bed used to be full of collards & kale in winter. Then I found out about oxalates & had to admit that I really didn't enjoy all the green smoothies.

There is definitely something to eating locally grown produce. I use produce stands on the side of the road all the time. Most of it is grown with standard practices but it always tastes better when freshly picked & naturally ripened.

I think anything you can do to increase your resiliency is going to be useful for what's coming.
