First batch of Jun tea! It’s like Kombucha, except that it uses green tea and raw honey, instead of the black tea and sugar that Kombucha uses. It uses a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) like Kombucha uses. So far I’m calling it a success!

Writing (good) lyrics is such a deep art. I'm currently learning and progress is slow, which I'm OK with. It seems simple like anyone could just sit down and do it but wow... I'm reading this book because it's arguably the best book teaching lyric writing. I'm gonna have to read it like 5 times LOL

Spent this afternoon unloading plants and soil salvaged from an urban landscaping job. Mostly got ladies mantel (highly medicinal incl women's health) and daylily (all parts of plant edible and tasty... Leaves and tubers taste like peas, flowers are peppery). Both perennial in zone 4.

I got paid to load and unload the materials, and saved the customer the dump fee, so we both won big here.

Used salvaged cardboard as mulch, spread soil and in an hour had a plan nursery for free (well actually I got paid 😄)

I maintain that landscaping is one of the most compatible jobs for the homesteader. I typically use yard waste (I call it yard garbage) to mulch beds, which results in many interesting volunteer plants. Note: I am primarily keeping perennial plants, so idgaf about 'weeds' survival of the fittest here +/-

This is my second attempt at this project. I made the first one for my husband and everyone who is in the card game world asks where they can buy them… I’m like well I made them… soooo… lol

Anybody in the Pacific Northwest? #grownostr

Another full day on the docket for us. Made this awesome dice holder for my nephews birthday who turns 13 this year and loves magic the gathering. Gotta get it all sanded and protected with a couple coats of gloss. The pieces of wood each represent a different color that is part of the game #grownostr #nostrhomestead #mtg #magicthegathering

White = curly maple

Blue = blue pine

Black = black walnut

Red = padauk

Green = poplar

Using an S9 Bitcoin miner to heat a cold from growing plant starts this spring. Been running it at 500-700w to keep temperature 70-80°f. I unplug and open the up the cold frame during the day if it's warm to get more light and wind to make for stronger plants. On cloudy cold days it stays running to keep it nice and warm. It's been working very well so far! #bitcoinmining #plebmimer #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #cannabis #bitcoin #s9

Thanks to @jackspirko for the idea of using the leaf shreader to chop up our biochar. I'm new to biochar. I tied a bulk bag onto the spout to collect all the char. This worked like cutting butter with a hot knife.
