if the yen collapse triggers a broader loss of confidence in major currencies, it could accelerate a generalized sell-off including the dollar, I suggest investing in our garden planning cards and land 🙂

if selling the dollar early during a decline will get a better price, isn't this just going to accelerate?

also beds are shallow hugelkultur, shallow ditches filled with thick pine branches and then covered with with the sandy top soil, they work better after 2 - 3 years

all your points are spot on, have been adding clay and organic matter to beds, as well as compost tea from small worm farm; plants that grow best are asparagus, tomato, carrots, peas, beans and goosberries 🙂

I have 7 beds which are 10m long x 80cm very sandy soil with pine trees nearby, Europe, interested to know what you'd recommend? 🙂

interesting 🙂 can be used for custom garden planning and will recommend companions?

good luck, I'm also wondering how best to make a living from gardening skills and hortitherapy keeps coming to mind

great idea, asparagus look great when a few spears are allowed to grow tall 🙂

Yesterday's Gov report tells us that UK "cannot currently produce enough food to feed its population based on current diets" and that as ecosystems collapse, other countries are likely to limit exports.

That means not enough to eat.

It really is time for Gov to brief the nation.

excellent, for permaculture to flourish I think it's key for people to be able to make living from it

yes it's weird, although permaculture specifically mentions Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share, this can be interpreted in different ways; just like anywhere there are bad apples

found posts about how rss is still relevant, but I think better to focus on social channels
