Homesteading, Permaculture, Bitcoin, Freedom. All one or all none!

Food forest harvest: garlic

Finally found time to harvest the garlic in the food forest. Experimented with some different bed preparations and had mixed results. The best method ended up being what I did last year: broadfork, add compost, broadfork, much with manure packed straw, plant.

Even though the other methods of using woodchips as mulch and only manure packed straw weren't as good, there was enough garlic planted to harvest more than last year.

I think we are going to need it with all the peppers and cucumbers growing in the garden that we will pickle. Not to mention, garden salsas and garlic powder now that we have a Bitcoin dehydrator.

Garlic is done curing

After letting the garlic cure for a few weeks, I cut the stems off and trimmed the roots. Ended up with almost 7lbs. We will save 4lbs for eating and replant the rest. I tried planting a few different ways at few different times last season but the best seemed to be planting early September in sheep manure packed straw. This year I don't think I'll have time to experiment with the garlic so I'll just stick with what worked best last season.

What’s up

rev.hodl 2y ago

You catch that at lake satoshi?

I’ll figure it out tho. I have questions about #bitcoin and #farmers

Do any #farmers use #bitcoin exclusively? #farm #farming

rev.hodl 2y ago

I'm working towards it. Got most of the lambs sold for Bitcoin this season. Last season we sold over 30% of the lamb for Bitcoin. Best way I've found to earn Bitcoin is to attend Bitcoin meetups and offer high quality goods and services. Then, maintain a positive reputation and support your local Bitcoin community any way you can.

Bitcoin meetup at Lake Satoshi was a blast. Met lots of really great folks in real life. Get to a meetup, even if it’s not near where you live. Get involved. The people in this community work their butts off to have a good time while teaching the knowledge necessary to get off ZERO. Support them and the things they are doing. Now to figure out how to get hashing with the S9 I was given.

Good to meet you! Can't wait to see what you do with the s9!

That's a chestnut tree. I wonder if it could be an american chestnut?

Is it in someone's yard or in a park? Does the branching form look more like a tall main trunk or more low wide branching form?

We had an awesome chat during Meshtadel on the 8th 🙏🏻. We talked about so many cool things, and one topic that led me to writing this note was P2P trading (Sats to fiat and/or products).

A lot of Bitcoiners prefer (and they're totally right) P2P trading but here's the deal: most of these P2P trade prices are based as a premium on the current spot price which is determined by comparing the broadcasted value on centralized exchanges (automatically by the P2P exchange or by the actors themselves). Now we are all cheering for the liquidity on those exchanges lessen since this means more traders become HODLers, getting their sats off the exchange, leaving only those sats on the exchange that are A) an urgent sell (a HODLer depositing Sats he plans to sell due to whatever need) B) people who were planning to sell anyway (and C) owned/custodied by the exchange which is one of the argumentations to get our sats off the exchange)

So all that we have on those exchanges is A) sell pressure, B) Weak hands (and C) Manipulation utxo's)

Not arguing to use centralized exchanges more, but rather asking the question: Is there not a better way for P2P price discovery than what we are seeing now.

The answer of the "why" for the current situation is in my simple understanding (read: I am just guessing ) : this is what the market demands. But the market demands that because the market is looking for a measuring stick.

As a lot of Bitcoin-'educators' pointed out already: Fiat is a broken measuring stick, but even when trading P2P we are still falling for that broken measuring stick.

Maybe it is time for the Sat/egg index 🤭. The amount of Sats that the market valuates a specific daily useable good that is sensitive to inflation, preferably fulfilling one of the basic needs (such as in the egg example food.)

Maybe revhodl@vida.live could create a Sats-to-Lamb index we can follow 😉

When I try to buy Bitcoin from someone at a meetup... Most of the time no sats for sale. I've had better experience earning Bitcoin p2p at meetups by offering products that those at the meetup want to buy.

Here is a montage of what's been processed by the Bitcoin mining dehydrator lately. Didn't get any pictures of the yarrow but here's a look at everything else.

Spicebush

Mullein

Wild Rose

White Clover

Now with summer in full swing I feel like I need two dehydrators to keep up with all there is to harvest. Got my eyes on elder flower, red clover, gooseberry, dill, oregano, oyster mushrooms and on and on...

Red Clover in the Bitcoin mining dehydrator

I was able to get around to picking some red clover before the sheep are it all up. Processed it in the Bitcoin mining dehydrator and now it is preserved for use in some peach cider later this summer.

As someone with goats and sheep who refuse to cooperate often. This is relatable. So many plants lost. I wish your chestnut trees a full recovery. Hopefully they didn't strip the bark. 😮‍💨🫂🫡

I think they will be okay, but it's definitely a complex dance when trying to keep everything integrated and working together. It's rock paper scissors but with like 5 more variabless.

Wild American Chestnut Seedling

Found this wild american chestnut seedling just a stones throw away from the large mature wild american chestnut growing here on the homestead. I put some protection around it and have been watching it grow vigorously! I haven't been able to grow and seedlings from the few nuts I collect each year from the tree so this wild volunteer is very welcome.

The other seedling american chestnuts (seeds from twisted tree nursery) are growing well too. They are planted less than 100ft away. My intuition was confirmed on where to plant these chestnut trees when I discovered the large american chestnut. Sandy soil, very well drained, southern exposure. I haven't watered these trees once and even through the late spring drought they have continued to grow.

Sheep ate my chestnut trees

Even though the young chestnut trees have cages protecting them, I have still been excluding them from the sheep when grazing this paddock just to be safe.

We recently used the sheep to over graze the paddock these trees are planted in but I failed to exclude the sheep this time. They ended up completely defoliating the trees.

Thankfully, there has been plenty of rain since the sheep munched on the chestnuts and they are starting to grow new leaves. I think they will be just fine but nearly a mistake which would have destroyed years of work.

rev.hodl 2y ago

Once I have all the ingredients it's pretty quick to get everything fermenting. Took a few hours to get the 6 flavors fermenting. These have taken over a month to ferment. The biggest drag is the time it takes to clean and prep all the bottles. Takes a few hours of just scrubbing, rinsing, and sanitizing. No matter how I store the bottles they always need a thorough cleaning before bottling. Fastest I've gone from fermenting to drinking has been 3 weeks and I've waited months before bottling too.

Took the first tastes of these pear ciders that have been fermenting for a couple weeks.

Six five gallon batches each with different ingredients harvested on the homestead and dehydrated with the Bitcoin mining dehydrator (except the grapes). White clover, dandelion/burdock, henbit, wild rose/spicebush, concord grape, and plain pear with maple syrup.

I steeped the ingredients in boiling water for a few minutes and poured the tea over 10lbs of frozen chopped pears along with some additional water to get to 5 gallons. I added sugar until the starting gravity was at 10 brix.

After a couple weeks the flavors are starting to develop but the cider is still too sweet at 6 brix. I let it ferment for a couple more weeks and taste again. The wild rose spicebush pear cider already tastes like something special.

Pear cider is ready to bottle

Bottled up 4 flavors of pear cider. Wild rose and Spicebush, dandelion and burdock root, and white clover. Pears came from a neighbor's tree in his front yard and all other ingredients were wild foraged here on the homestead.

Each should be between 5 and 6 percent alcohol by volume. My favorite is the wild rose and spicebush but the most surprising is the white clover very clean refreshing summer taste but still nice and dry.
