Tends to soil, plants and various animals on a small farm somewhere in the hills of Kodaikanal, India.
No ideologies, handful labels. Friend to life in all shapes and forms.
Expect photos, anecdotes and rants about living off-grid in the middle of nowhere, occasional motorcycle rides and software development mishaps.
Bad ideas are mine, but i refuse to constantly fix typos generated by stupid-glass keyboards.

Looking forward to the heady scent of Ramsoms accompanying springtime woodland walks at locations like this in East Durham, NE England.
Better known as 'Wild Garlic', I was surprised to discover the plant goes by quite a few other names. One such name is cow's leek as seemingly cows love to eat them.
I was reading that down in Devon, dairy farmers have occasionally had the milk of their herds rejected because of the garlic flavour imparted to it by the cows having grazed upon the plant.
I'm sure, with appropriate promotion, there is a marketing opportunity somewhere for garlic-flavoured milk!

Detox Doodles!

This page is all about hedgehogs!
For centuries ancient humans used animal rotation, crop rotation, cover crop, and fallow years to maintain fertility on agricultural fields.
I'm not convinced any other farming system can promise that type of longevity except for food forests, which we also practice and don't differentiate spaces that are for food forests and those for something like wheat. We just grow wheat under fruit trees when we want to.
To me, it seems like mixing these resilient systems makes sense for food autonomy.
