I broke up a fight between two boys at a playground yesterday. They both took fists to the face and were rolling on the ground. My girls were there and one saw me do it from a distance. They have asked me to tell the story no less than 26 times.

There will be no episode of Love & Hard Money this week. My kids are on spring break and I would rather spend time with them. Catch you next week. If you’re a regular listener, thank you!🙏 Here’s a fun one from a few weeks back. https://fountain.fm/episode/UxXKw4VXdgxxbrnaiqD6

Don’t concern yourself with what most people think. Most people live lives completely unexamined. Most people never seek truth.

Happy Easter everyone! Love the people close to you. Insist on honest money with everyone else as an act of love toward your fellow man. Even business relationships cannot be built on lies. https://fountain.fm/episode/BfwYoIhMHyoFzbCZZ0zX

I’m a big fan of biochar. It helps hold nutrients and moisture in the soil. Our hill is sandy and drains fast so during the summer watering is a full time job. I amended all our beds with biochar and hope this summer will be a little easier. The downside is that unless you charge it first by soaking it in compost tea, it will lock up a lot of the nutrients in the soil the first year. In future years, once it’s saturated it will slow release nutrients back to the plants. Year one you need to add extra nitrogen to offset that. I’m planning to use diluted urine before fruit set on anything perennial.

In this little space I am growing plums, blueberries, strawberries, nettles, cilantro, onion, daikon radish, carrots, garlic, mint, spinach, potatoes, salal, pumpkins and a couple of kids.
