  If you are acting as free labor for a store, you should get a discount. 100% agree.

  'The Autonomous Garden' is the last food project I worked on in New England. This urban food forest grows enough pears, peaches, plums, rhubarb, & strawberries for the year in addition to seasonal salad greens, potatoes, and tomatoes. All for the cost of a few stolen lawn bags and homemade compost. The houses 10kw solar system creates surplus energy for one unit in the multifamily home. Rainwater catchment and mulch buried swales allow the gardens to survive 60 days of drought...

  I wrote this line years ago in a song, "I can't help, but interrupt, success when it comes around." To this day I can't seem to finish my projects because of a fear of succeeding. I'm 100% comfortable with failure, that's easy. For me success is the issue. The first of two books I'm writing is 98% finished. This one will be published within a few weeks. I've made a commitment and I'm getting it done. Another line, &...

  #activism #solarpunk Individual ownership is individual consumption. Individual consumption is GDP. GDP is growth. Growth is the ideology of the cancer cell. One washer for 10 households. One commercial kitchen for 20. One workshop for the block. One car for the co-op. The things you use every day, you own. The things you use once a month, you share. The math is simple. The quality is better. The community is the side effect.

  Well folks. The dangerous tree on my property, that I mentioned in my videos, has fallen safely, avoiding the house! Will send pictures later.

  This is why I think vegetables should be the smallest part of your garden, if you care about Food Sovereignty and health. #gardening #homesteading #FoodSovereingty https://loopfarmstead.com/anti-capitalist-articles/104-staple-sovereignty.html

  I want to set up an old school links page on my website. Since I'm starting to get traffic I thought it would be the right time. Are there any personal sites in the #solarpunk #gardening #permaculture #anticapitalist or #art #songwriters #activism #westvirginia communities you would like to get added to that page? I'm not seeking businesses, just people in line with the values of our site even if you sell something. https://loopfarmstead.com

  I'm deciding to live as though civilization is going to end in that I am preparing for a post-industrialized lifestyle and no longer pursuing the benefits in society that will soon be obsolete. In such a way that gives me hope for the future. #climatecrisis #solarpunk

  If we all had to live off our land, the crop specialists we call "farmers" would be dead by autumn, the gardeners would need more potatoes, the homesteaders would wish they had grown feed for their animals, the permaculturalists would be teaching the rest of them how to eat, and the agroecological farmers would be wondering what the big deal is. #farmers #gardening #permaculture #homesteading #agroecology

  2 hours of work for this much #Dandelion honey. It basically tastes just like honey. True fact: The Anglo-Saxons called it "piss-a-bed" because it can make you need to pee. I can't eat honey myself "on account of the #gout " But this stuff doesn't have any of the same issues related to honey from bees. The kids like it, and I'll eat it, so it's a winner. #gardening #solarpunk #honey Do this... it is worth it.

  Can I help you start growing your own food somehow? Maybe I can make videos demonstrating ideas and discussing questions you have about growing your own food? I could use the interaction honestly, you'd be doing me a favor. #gardeningtips #GrowingYourOwnFood #gardening #solarpunk

  Building a new terrace to grow a years worth of onion, some echinacea, herbs, and other things too. And how we stopped buying bedding for ducklings and chicks. A word for the haters :) https://spectra.video/w/qxzaRwqV5766HDtdz8EwAd #gardening #garden #farm #permaculture

  On days like this I reaffirm that all I want to do for the near future is work on the land.

  I've been working on a subsistence farm planner, that allows you to plan your farm based off of land, bioregional reality (soil type, rainfall, etc.) It isn't a garden planner. It is a system to sort out how you, and the people you care about can survive on the land you have available. Which amount of which plants give you the most likely survival possibilities. Like everything else I make it will be free when it is finished.
