There are a lot of fancy ways to make Biochar, but I prefer the simple slash pile method.

We burn slash (dead branches) anyway to reduce hazardous fuels around our home, so why not make charcoal for the garden!?

Lots of people make biochar a science, but I tend to see it more as an art.

🔥 Please burn responsibly.

Can you see the tree buds swelling?

I've been watching the buds since winter solstice. Then, only the most watchful eye could see them slowly, slowly, slowly changing.

Now the buds are swelling faster, faster, faster until they finally unfurl their blossoms and leaves.

That moment is nearly upon us here!

What are the tree buds doing in your climate?

Im thankful to notice this before the tree started to dry out so that I could give it my best effort to help it heal!

Praying for you olive baby! 🫒💚🙏🏼

We have put our chicken house into operation 🙂 We have been tinkering with it for a long time. We have built a new home for chickens with a sea view using old dismantling material from our construction sites. From now on there are eggs from our own #permaculture 🙂

@Sheril You said, “In 1856, scientist Eunice Foote published a paper demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earth’s atmosphere warm its #climate. “ This is very interesting! Can you cite the reference please? I would like to send copies if it to my friends who say there is no evidence that increasing CO2 heats the planet. Thanks! #climate #solarpower #distributedenergy #sustainableag #permaculturegarden
