TSP tends to get first listen position, but every Regenerative Ag episode I've listened to makes my brain explode with ideas or light bulb moments.

I don't know that I have enough experience to have a preference. Good luck with your bindweed, that stuff is nasty to deal with

#gm pretty sky this morning. The pinkish purple on the horizon could safely be called #amethyst I think 😉

Good morning, #nostriches!

This might be the last snow we get this season:

I will miss the cold and snow. Mud season is a miserable. Spring is fine until the end of skeeters and biting flies come out. This year, spring will be busy. I'll be trenching and moving a bunch of dirt; how much remains to be seen. I need to at least a few pour a couple of landing pads to level out my trailer when I move it up here. My mom suggested that I pour a large enough pad for a patio, and that is an appealing idea, but, that is significantly more expensive and labor intensive. It is a very appealing idea, though. And, I've been also planning ahead and would also want to pour footers for adding some uprights for a solar panel pergola using bifacial panels. It would be easy to get 5+Kw of panels up, shading the trailer in the summer and catching a lot of reflection off the trailer and snow in the winter. Lots to think about. I could still put up the pergola without a patio, but... That's not as pleasant. I could also split the idea and pour the pad for the trailer and then use blocks for the patio. That's probably cheaper and easier to do a bit at a time.

Gm beave, sounds like you have quite the project list. If your patio will be somewhat sheltered you could look into soil-cement. From what I remember, the process involves rototilling dry sackcrete into the soil, then wetting it thoroughly and leveling it as you would concrete. It's been a decade or so since I saw it in a video, so the details may be wrong and it may not work everywhere. I believe the people who did it were in the southwest US somewhere in a desert. Might be worth looking into though
