Holes, so many holes. Installing a fence through a marsh. Near the lake, there's this marine clay. It's so dry that it's like stone and the pick and shovel are turning it to dust as we dig. That's a days work #fiatmining #grownostr #permaculture #homestead #fence

Thanks for the heads up on tracking. I've edited the url to be clean.

Getting funding at the end of the day. First go with my Looper.

Daybed in the greenhouse. In the end it will be the thermal mass for a #rocketmassheater it will be filled with pebbles, gather from the shoreline. The stove part will be outside the #greenhouse

So excited to finally be building one of these. #diy #permaculture #homestead #lifestead

#garlic I harvested late, and had this fun experiment. There was a forgotten bulb from the previous year. It happened to be beside the manure pile. It turned into this lovely clump! Bulbs are amazing. Part of my future planting is to plant around the edge of my chicken run. I could see something like this occuring in time.

She's great at this.

The char becomes biologically active once combined with the organics in the coop, especially once composted. It also cuts down on any smells. I add about 3L every time I add more carbon to the bedding. With the deep litter, I only clean out the coop once a year. If you want a lot more info, check out Jack Spirko and the survival podcast.

These are simple ones, for her, chocolate with a Swiss meringue butter cream icing.

My daughter is at it again. These cupcakes were delicious.

Spent the morning cleaning out the deep litter of my chicken coop, a once a year task. I use biochar in there on a regular basis, so I especially wanted to use a mask. However, it's clear I need to upgrade my mask.

One of nature's great delights, #fir #sap if you've never put a small bit in your mouth and enjoyed the encompassing flavor, you may want to. P.s. it's very sticky.

Current work project: this dock is being built to allow a 3HP pump to ve cleaned on a regular monthly basis. #homestead #water #permaculture #grownostr #carpentry

Improvised dinner, batter for French toast but no bread, veggies cheese and leftover quinoa. Then I made a honey muatard marmalade sauce.

Hopefully the family likes it!

I had the pleasure of going out for a sail on the Providence, a 120 year old ship here in Canada. The two huge masts were awe inspiring. Such a joy to be on the water with the winds power moving us along. A magical evening.

Absolutely

My wife has done a lovely job in the greenhouse. We're just starting to harvest cucumbers. Today I built a faux-floor shelf to move all of our gardening pots onto. Now the space beside the greenhouse is ready for an IBC container. I'm super looking forward to setting up an aquaponics setup with growing space along the back wall of the greenhouse.
