Hugo thanks for all the info! I too am a chaotic gardener. I love any "volunteer" plants and I love the idea of cluster planting!
I do believe rosemary hedges are in my future!!

I love love love the idea of mini hedges!!
Would this also work with Rosemary as it gets kind of hedgey too ? I am still learning to propagate rosemary correctly (germination rates are a bugger), but I would use it substantially more than thyme.

There are so many variables so I'll try to stay as generic as possible.
It's mostly just the two big elephants in the room;

Work More to Make More than just enough (find a side hustle) or

Find a new living situation that allows for current income to be more than enough (e.g. https://www.cheaprvliving.com/).

Oh and the third little baby elephant which is maintaining the frugal lifestyle to put any extra to savings.

That second elephant is an important one! I am a graduate student and we don't get paid very much and I was stuck in a viscous cycle of not being able to afford the house I was living in (because of people drama), so I couldn't save up for a new deposit on a different cheaper house, it took me a while, but eventually I downsized to a smaller cheaper house with the same landlord. Then I eventually was able to save up and get out from under that horrible landlord.
It took time and patience and a lot of being as cheap as possible in many ways already listed above, but I also believe that sometimes you can save money by spending a little. I know my garden plot has been my biggest asset in the last few years. I get hundreds of dollars worth of produce and herbs for a 35-70 dollar investment, so there is more to it than just being cheap you also have to be smart about what you spend it on.

Then in the last few years, I've struggled to find something suitable to use as a bookmark in my library books.  It's been very frustrating because we have so little spare paper in the house.

I lamented the lack of bookmarks in my life.

Then I started supporting kickstarter projects and now I have beautiful bookmarks in my home again.

I'm thinking if I got a dozen bookmarks advertizing this book, I would secret put them in random library books as a way of infecting brains.

I would totally buy bookmarks!

Paul- Bookmarks similar to the permaculture playing cards would be amazing!!!

1. I want to say I am eagerly awaiting the kickstarter date! This is a much needed book! I am conflicted about listening to the better world book podcasts (spoilers)..
2. My real question is that I read/heard (cant remember) about the possibility of an audiobook... If this does come to fruition and someone (myself) donated enough for multiple physical books would we be able to sub one physical book for an audiobook version?

You guys are awesome!
