Hey y'all, I once got a load from chipdrop.com and it cost me about $40 to entice someone enough to drive out where I am. That was 3 years ago... and not another once since. Duke energy, my electric company, just left us a notice that they will be trimming trees in my area... the name of the company and a contact was on the door hanger. I called immediately, talked to a nice lady named Carol... she hadn't even left my driveway yet lol! I let her know that I would be delighted to get some wood chips on my property and she seemed thrilled that her guys would have a place to drop that is near the work being done. Now... I may regret this. I don't know. Maybe I'll get some undesireable types of wood. Maybe there will be poison ivy that was wrapped around some trees... I don't know. I'm hoping that doesn't happen since they are trimming branches. Comment below: have you tried calling local tree trimmers or your electric company to offer your property as a convenient way for them to drop some wood chips? Did I just unknowingly hurt myself? Inquiring minds want to know!

I will follow Lucy and Dorn pretty much everywhere so glad to be here! :). Been on a journey to become more self-reliant for a few years and have recently gone down the rabbit hole of herbal medicines (I thought I got away from farming when I left Hawaii, funny how things come full circle). Looking forward to connecting with like minded people! Thanks for having me! Favorite thing to grow... hmm... there might be a little too much to list! We're in the mountains of Colorado, so the growing potential here is MUCH different than what I'm used to (I sure do miss fresh fruit), but I'm learning. Just "harvested" my first batch of Lions Mane (ironically enough... looking forward to unlocking the first course!), so excited to try it both fresh and tincture forms.
