@Seedling @permaculture You rang? My compost empire as way of credentials

@Seedling @permaculture Rain harvesting setup. 1400 gallons for now,but once I finish with the backyard remodel I will add 275 gallon IBC's to get that to 3000+

@Seedling @permaculture the current project. My redwood above ground planters served me well 15+ years) It was a tough call, but I went with steel to avoid having them cut more trees down. Not sure if it was a sound set of reasons, but these will last me my conceivable lifespan and not require me to replace them 2 more times

@Seedling @permaculture But the best move IMHO was about 18 years ago. We killed the lawn and replaced everything with mostly drought resistant natives( UC Davis has a fanatic guide). So most of the front is drought resistant and we are buzzing literally with pollinators

@Seedling @permaculture Native plants plus sustainable gardening practices, ZERO pesticides makes it a little oasis for these guys and the sage from the previous picture flowers in this climate about 10 months a year so we are always buzzing. The no pesticides or herbicides was rocky for about a year but then nature creates a balance and everything is in check and self regulating

@Seedling Try following #permaculture and maybe you'll find some 😄​
