GM #nostr. A fine #coffeechain day to you from the front yard food forest. #grownostr #plebchain

I made a little more in-depth video on the rainwater harvesting pond explaining its origins, it’s progressions, it’s benefits, and the life that is taking residence. I feel like I’m becoming a pond guy. It’s such a lovely place to hang out and watch life. #grownostr #permaculture #naturalpond #plebchain

I was in conversation yesterday evening regarding dogs and their weird presents they bring from yards, and it came up that my friends neighbor was using rat poison and it was killing the squirrels. It got me thinking about the injustice of our legal system. We are perfectly allowed to set out poisons for rodents, weeds, and insects leading to dreadful effects and deaths far beyond our original intent (In short, we are allowed to kill the local wildlife to keep our homes sanitized). But… we are not “allowed” to raise meat ethically, humanely, and safely for consumption within city limits. No… that kind of death is gross and cannot be tolerated. #permaculture #grownostr #plebchain

#zapathon Zap this post up to 1000 sats and I’ll share my super secret no sugar garden pancake recipe that even my picky children love! #grownostr #plebchain

Anyone else wait until an after work #coffeechain? Nothing like a quiet cuppa joe under the shade of a banana and mimosa. #grownostr #plebchain

A headline caught my attention regarding a dust storm that led to the deaths of several people and it is simply a tragedy that could be minimized or prevented. We have the understanding and technology today to eliminate the degradation of our soils, to leave them covered or in permanent roots, and promote the positive accumulation of carbon. There are many problems in our conventional farming system, from financial to practical. People like Mark Shepard shine a bright light for conventional farmers who want to make a profit, and manage their land appropriately. I believe finances could be the primary motivation for farmers to change their practices. Elimination of major cost inputs, with returns increasing annually, seems like a good argument for Restoration Agriculture. Link below to book, but I read it on Hoopla. http://www.restorationag.com/product/restoration-agriculture/ #grownostr #permiestr #permaculture #plebchain

I believe it is absolutely essential for every home to have a pond. There are so many benefits a homeowner/gardener can receive from a pond. 1. Slow down and store storm water. Benefits the general public storm water systems downstream. 2. Mosquito control from fish (goldfish or otherwise). I do not feed my fish and just let them eat what lands in the pond. 3. Non-chlorinated water for general irrigation or water backup. 4. Aesthetics (mine could be prettier, working on it) 5. Learning opportunities for children. 6. Depending on how you build it, cost per gallon can be cheaper than rainwater collection tanks. (Mine was completely free) 7 months ago, I put up a rudimentary pond made from an old above ground pool to slow down and collect hurricane rains in an effort to hold off flooding adjacent to the house. Since then, I have realized the multitude of benefits and beauty that has come from the pond. I could go on and on, but I’ll make a separate post about different facets of #naturalponds. #permaculture #pond #retrosuburbia #grownostr
