Any word on Station Charlie?

I’m starting to think it’s deeper than that. Might just be a human thing that Twitter exploits

I’ll see a handful of things on a post like that then a series of novels on a post bashing someone or something

I’ve noticed a lot of people only seem to respond to negative comments

**Permaculture Principle: Creatively use and respond to change**

When I first arrived at the homestead, there was a ~2acre stand of mature woods which I didn't have any intention of using for production. I thought it would just be a nice area to enjoy.

Once I started making maple syrup, I realized there were a lot of sugar maple trees in those woods. So, I hired a forestry consultant to advise me on which trees I could sell to promote the growth of the sugar maple trees. After the logging the forest was vastly different.

We had the loggers make paths through the woods as they dragged the trees out which we used to create a track around the woods for our horse to run on. At the same time, so much light had opened up in the canopy that there was more growth in the understory than we could have expected.

This undergrowth was a problem, because it was obstructing the access to the sugar maple trees. At the same time I had a problem managing our rams, we were moving a handful of rams every 2-4 days same as all the ewes and lambs together. It was roughly the same work for just a few animals as the large flock. There is a permaculture saying, the problem is the solution, this rang true in this instance. I realized I could put the rams in the fenced in center of the horse track to eat down all the understory growth keeping the forest clear for collecting maple sap.

Eventually golden oyster mushrooms started fruiting from the all the stumps and tops from the logging. Now we get buckets and buckets of mushrooms from this area as well. By creativity responding to the changes from the disturbance of logging we turned this 2acre woods into an incredible useful and productive space.
