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.

I mean…….

Please be aware I almost always zap cat pictures. Exceptions are if your cats ugly or I don’t feel like it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Does God want us to sell all our dollars and use Bitcoin? In episode 12 of Love & Hard Money, I grapple with the morality of money built on lies and usury. Bitcoin is truth and because of that I believe it is more aligned with Gods plan than dollars. https://fountain.fm/episode/BfwYoIhMHyoFzbCZZ0zX

Building a basement apartment. Plumber quoted me $28k to install a bathroom. Thats a lot of Bitcoin. Problem solved….composting toilet. I’m gunna turn that shit into plumbs and raspberries.

Ever since my wife switched us over to mostly wool clothes she has started drying them in the bathroom with the heater on. The room smells like wet, warm 🐑 sheep. As an Irish ☘️ guy, it’s kind of a turn on. 🤣
