Fresh pineapple straight from the plant is one of the best experiences! They are such an easy plant to grow too. Good luck!

How to make bokashi: part 1.

Bokashi is typically made with Effective Microbes, or EM-1, but since it is primarily lactobacillus, there is an easy way to make it at home.

That’s the general idea. They scratch it around and kick it out keeping the floor level. Usually this stuff ends up in my potting mix or soil blocks

Thank you sir

Composting with my chickens is so easy. They turn food, poop, and bedding into excellent compost that gets (mostly) pre-sifted from the coop walls. #grownostr #plebchain #chickstr https://video.nostr.build/2c157ab8970e585ada7227beb3793a7fd00ffb94ff48d7c3f67d06dc3d8cecad.mp4

Learning what nutritious plants my chickens enjoy is one of my favorite experiments. What do your chickens like to eat from the garden?

This is a perfect example of why I love food forests. I just let the plants do their thing and whatever survives gets used or turns into next year’s seed bank.

Went on a hike today with my kids to observe nature, it’s patterns and beauty. School just will not be able to teach you the lessons nature teaches with abundance. A dad who is curious also helps the lessons come to life (I hope)

Here is a great example of an investment that increases its value every year. I think we can make #livingfences with willow, mulberry, elderberry, bamboo, bougainvillea… any other ideas?

I’m trying something new… there are so many intelligent people sharing amazing innovations and information, it is just a matter of getting eyes and ears to see and hear. Starting with the father of permaculture…

It’s a good one! A really good intro to permaculture design

Here’s to the beginning of a nice Christmas break. Each season has its own beauty, but winter in Florida is citrus season… so we get to enjoy it a little more than most North Americans. There’s nothing better than grabbing a ripe, sun-warmed mandarin right off the tree. Me and my kids have had our fill this season, but we still have so many (courtesy of Korean Natural Farming). Here’s to abundance!

I’ve actually got a Sony A7 that I use old film Minolta lenses on it. Threw away autofocus altogether but it is my favorite setup I’ve ever had 7 years running. Even shot a wedding like that and it was brilliant. Used to use Canons for sports, and that worked great 10 years ago, not sure how far systems have come since then. Whatever you’re comfortable using to get the shot, that’s all that matters!

Seriously! Once you go homegrown, you can never go back. Im only supposed to have 5 chickens in city limits… but I have an undisclosed amount more to keep up with production…

Yep, couldn’t agree more. There are so many arguments to their mindset, but none matter to them unless it’s matched with dollar signs. Simply a low-growing native flower patch that is allowed to reseed itself would be far more efficient and significantly less maintenance (if any at all), and it would benefit the local ecology.

Another idea is to privatize these strips of grass to small scale farms. Free maintenance for the city, profit for the farmer, and benefits local ecology and community.

Here’s to hoping minds change.

Everywhere I see an unused patch of grass, typically beside the road, I design the potential gardens in my mind. In my experience, a well designed garden takes less maintenance/energy than mowing grass, but municipalities insist on grass… I don’t get it…

I’m not sure if this applies universally, but I have significantly fewer big stains on my car than 20 years ago. I used to use specialized scrubbing mitts when washing and now I just use a sponge… the loss of our insect diversity is going to be a major downfall for future generations, not just for pollination, but as feed for wild animals and birds and to nurture the natural food web.

The ancient Egyptians probably utilized this advanced technology too…
