Let's welcome @Steve Fawcett to the community. Tell us what you're upto in the world. Where are you from and what are your goals?

Spent some time this weekend cleaning up unused things and using that space to expand the kitchen garden. In this video I'm explaining how to use branches that are still attached to the bamboo stalks for added structural support. Check out the Old Earth Farms YouTube channel to follow the build.

Let's welcome @Luna Rose to the community. We look forward to getting to know you. Please introduce yourself.

Woke up this morning reeling over the intensity of this last few weeks. So much has been going on that life seems to have sped away from me with out regard, that left me in a whirlwind of trying to catch my breath. I started 10,000 things before I crawled out of my rack. Haha. Could not decide on what to work on first, could not prioritize anything, and the weather report showed the shadow of how I felt. So I did the only rational thing to do at a time like this. Went to the woods. I needed to be immersed in the wild. I needed to free my spirit and reconcile my thoughts. I needed to smell fresh pine after the rain, take in the various colors of spring flowers, search out life's nervous system, and be exposed. So I went forest bathing. Meditated in a deep pool of spring runoff. Recharged in the immense energy of the on coming storm. Read my Bible. As I finished the passage I was reading, the sky opened and washed away my troubles. The timing made me smile. The day continued as they have before but I wasn't bothered by the trivial. Nature is medicine. Creation is on purpose. Let's emulate that for all to discover.

I am back and renewed for any and all things. I took the last week off to meet with my team to kickstart a retreat for veterans. It was amazing and a learning experience for all. We covered design, soil, cleared up a brush pile and made biochar. Took a day to go up in the mountains to scout around and see some lessons found in nature. Did you know that Bend Oregon boarders two distict climate zones? More will follow from this trip as the weeks go on. I am playing catch up at home since the weather is decent but we will get into the carbon cycle this next week.
