Introduction

Hello from Texas (an hour North of Austin known as the hill country; Zone 8b). For the past 10 years my beloved and I have stewarded just under 5 acres of land. Admittedly building a house on our own for 6 years, “life-ing”, fear of the unknown, some procrastination and a major life event mixed in at the beginning of this year has us not as far along on the natural gardening/permaculture/KNF journey as I would have liked. I have not completed the PDC, so seeing this new group form in the Skool app reinvigorated my interest (thank you for that).

Successes:

1) Outdoor bathtub vermicomposting setup

2) Pollinator garden

3) Herb garden

4) Multiple fruit trees

5) Greywater setup (though sadly it failed at the beginning of the summer so back to the drawing board)

Current issues:

1) Confidence

2) Time and energy

3) Drought

4) Freezing winters

5) GRASSHOPPERS!!!!!! They are annihilating so many of our trees!!
