A "nice" patch of poison hemlock standing 6-9 feet tall. Some people react to skin contact with it. It's quite dangerous for some herbivores and can pretty easily kill a cow or horse. Also not safe for human consumption. I've never used weed killer on this property, but this one actually had me thinking about it. There is a lot less of it this year than the last couple years.
Nostr is like Bitcoin, but with more feathers.

It seems so unusual to see a random mature oak in the forest just die, but it is happening.

Our hillside vegetable garden is just getting going for the year.
It's early days. That said, this is the best time to get into nostr, and there are a lot of really interesting people on here who are also trying to figure out how to use this platform.
Obviously there is a significant Bitcoin presence. There are also a good number of homesteader types. I'm also seeing a number of photographers and artists start to use nostr.
So will there be groups in nostr? Or would that be a separate thing, maybe a different protocol?

The Kansas flint hills are one of my favorite places to drive through.
I've never done black soldier flies. I did meal worms once and later found out how allergenic they are. I don't think I'll be doing those again.
I definitely want to grow some red worms. I have a small bin now but I need about a thousand times more worms. :/
I'm thinking by next year I'll have at least two tanks. And I'm not opposed to mixing species.
I'm working on getting set up to grow my own fish (non-commercial home production) and thinking about best eating species.
I'm planning on staying on a ketovore diet, so points for more fat, taste, versatility and also ease of developing non commercial food sources for the fish themselves.
Channel catfish, tilapia, bluegill, crappie, striped bass, trout, and possibly some other species like crawdads or freshwater shrimp might be possible in my situation.
As a corollary, I'm also thinking about what to grow to feed them.
How would you think about this? What comes to mind?

I've been thinking about it for a while and did a bunch of research over the weekend and feel like I better understand my options.
There is a place where I would like to have my tanks, but it is steep and full of brush and trees at the moment with rocky soil.
I'm going to take a look at it and see if I can work in some ferro cement tanks on contour.
I have to say I do like the look of Jack Spirko's miyagi pond. I get that it may not be the most efficient in terms of sheer pounds of monoculture production and labor, but it looks like an awful lot of fun and stacks a lot of utility.
Who else is into backyard aquaculture? I'm new, figuring out how to get started.

We have wild ramps. They are good.
Some religious circles are totally brother and sister everyone. Unless they are actually brother or sister, and then it's first name.
