Like container gardening? Potting mix cost making you think twice about a container garden? Cost of bags of potting mix is EXPENSIVE! You can save money by making your own. Here's my basic recipe for DIY container soils! I'm using partially decomposed leaves from the compost pile to take up a little space in my containers. I purchased vermiculite, peat moss, and a little bit of compost, to mix up my own container soil. When I can't make my own I've had good luck with this: FoxFarm Happy Frog Potting Mix - https://foxfarm.com/product/happy-fro... Nature's Care Really Good Compost, by Miracle Grow - https://miraclegro.com/en-us/shop/soi...

A soliloquy where I share a few of my observations and thoughts around climate instability, systems collapse, and the role of permaculture. Yes, this is what my brain works on sometimes while I drive to work. Other times I mostly just wonder what I will eat for lunch, lol! I don’t think there is any one “solution” to coping with a destabilizing climate, but I do think permaculture has an important role in experimenting and finding success with regenerative agriculture. I also think the average citizen has little idea how close we are to collapse, and encourage anyone with the interest to begin exploring permaculture gardening and design with whatever means available!

Permaculture design for “regular humans” even if you don’t have property! I redesign my plans for 2023 because lots of factors have changed since I created my initial design 2 years ago.

Hello, I’m thinking about permaculture and garden planning in the coldest days of winter. Follow along for future content on this and other topics.
