Biography
I steward 20 acres of Cromwell Sandy Loam in the north woods of Minnesota. I clear birch and aspen as needed to plant food sources.

I always have more projects going than I can keep up with which isn't really awesome but I don't know what to change.

I vote for Libertarians and Socialists because they know what it means to have principles and that matters more to me than the exact details of what they believe in. I'm a gun-toting vegetarian. I write code for cash and grow food because no amount of cash will buy real food these days.

I have a wife, two kids, two grandkids, and three cats. I've never had a dog, but I'm thinking about changing that. I hike, garden, read, play games, code, cook, spin and knit, putter, and play at arting.

Giant redwood trees really are so cool; they just have something incredibly special going on. It's hard to describe if you haven't seen them.

They have a certain je ne sequoia, if you will.

Based on what I'm seeing above, it looks like it is pronounced a few different ways.

Frito pie! Third and final night of chili leftovers.

Their claim seems to be that when the ecobricks are fully encapsulated in cement or cob or whatever, because the sun and bacteria won't get to them and they're protected from fire, they last more or less forever. But then when I look at a lot of things made with them, the ecobricks protrude instead of being fully encapsulated -- so that's a bit confusing. I like the idea of owning my shit rather than just sending the plastic "away". And maybe if I had to do that, I'd be more conscious of every bit of plastic we bring onto the property.

There's often clay available at new road-cuts if you know of any big highway construction project near you, you can just look for it and take five gallons away in a bucket.

You could install a pipe or something through one gabion to facilitate that view. I'm imagining a section of large drain-pipe so that you could see more than just one little spot of the plastic wall. But I'm also open to not quite seeing your vision and there being reasons that won't work.
