Compost tower has resurrected and already nice and toasty! This method of Johnson Su is so nice. Build it and forget it for a year. Stacked some function by placing them next to the septic sprinklers to stay moist. Ingredients Chicken deep litter, biochar, wood chips, deer carcass, fish carcass, spent coco coir, hay, coffee grounds, a bit of fresh compost #compost #permies #feedthesoil

I make a cannabis tincture and wondering how the Nostr market would take to such profound medicine? Questions for you- Would you be interested in a purchase? Are you worried about logistics? Is this legal where you are? Questions for me- Is this legal and how can we grey market this product? How would distribution work? Sats prefered? How to setup in nostr marketplace? #asknostr #marketplace #cannabis #420

~Chick update~ Upgraded the brooder. We were using a large dog kennel the last couple years but it was kind of a hassle. Had a bunch of plywood scrap and threw this together just in the nick of time. Current hatch count 13!! There about 3 more pips were waiting on. Planning on moving them to their new home tomorrow morning. #homesteadlife #chickens #brooder

We have pips!! Spring is in the air. #chicks

Master Plant Database.. and growing (Zone 7a)

Having Claude generate a master plant database of edible and medicinal plants for my zone is ultimately a level up! Had it include key details such as, known resilient cultivars, pollination references, planting guides, knf fertility schedule, layered function, etc, etc. This is an absolute game changer for design. A client handout makes it super easy for them to pick and choose how they want their fruit tree guilds to function. Is there a way to upload a CSV or XLSX file to share this guide? #asknostr

Simple Orchard Design Proposing to interplay with blackberry, elderberry, strawberry, and other support guild plants. #orchard #organixlandscapes

Kind of odd, I just gained 100+ followers in 24hrs. I mean it's cool that I broke the 1000 mark, but seems maybe botty? Anyone else have this happen this week?

Another productive day on the Ol Homestead! What a sunset to cap off the day.

Thoughts of the day. Today our IT group found out that the whole dept will be outsourced to another company. They are offering about half the positions than there are staff. I could see this writing on the wall as the last 6 months to a year has been nothing but probing and inventory from our parent company. Ironically, I'm not very distraught about the situation. See, I've been building my business for 6 years now and officially on the books the last three. I continue to build my skill sets in various other aspects to make sure I am always a valuable asset. Call it a prepper mindset, call me a go-getter, call me a polymath. Whatever you want to call it, I'm grateful for the choices I've made to allow this situation to be more of an opportunity than a hindrance. I'm now left with a choice to apply for a potential position at said Outsourcing company, find a job elsewhere, or take this opportunity to dive head first into full-fledged entrepreneurship. The choice between security and freedom. This is ultimately the hardest Choice people have to make not necessarily when it comes to a career but in all aspects of life. I'm at the point where I'm tired of the corporate game, tired of trying to prove my worth and tired of being one of the only employees who gives a shit. It feels like this is my opportunity to put everything into myself see if I really have what it takes to be a full-time entrepreneur instead of having three side gigs. The scary part is I have 5 other people depending on my success so failure isn't an option. Big choices are coming and I'm excited to have these opportunities. #dailythoughts #gogetem

Finally got around to repairing the greenhouse. It got some major reinforcement and will now be converted to a chicken run. I thought long and hard about trashing the whole thing but where there are problems, there are solutions! Repaired the broken tubing with a few pieces of cedar wooden dowels, added 2 cedar log posts for central support, 6 tposts on each side for wind support, then some upcycled wood and metal sheeting for the skirt. Only thing left are the doors and add a 5ft piece of welded wire to bring the sides higher. #proofofwork #problems2solutions #homesteading
