SO yep and in a big way. I was out in the garden today getting into preparation for spring and summer veges and the though occurred to me that I have been really quite productive and have a somewhat elevated mood with respect to getting stuff done around the place. Of course when the question rises an answer is demanded.
The answer was like a flash out of the blue. Permies!! By doing posts and receiving replies, I have a third party meter that what I am doing is good, right, innovative, contributing or what needs more work. It reinforces that I am actually on the right track. Apples, likes and pie add further reinforcement. The best part is that if I have not got it quite right or there is a better method, someone will suggest that there is a better way or that someone else is doing similar so I have a reference/ comparison.
Like others, I have had threads removed and accept that happens, particularly if there is something dumb in it and in retrospect, I have put a couple of dumb things out there. So be it - I know and understand the rules. I call it the RAP (Rules According to Paul). So to have a post removed, I have been RAPed (on the knuckles)
There is the bonus of being exposed to new concepts such a hugels and food forests. I had gouged large trenches many years ago to hold water but now, I have started to put wood into the trenches with a view to hugelbeets. So not only am I retaining water, particularly in summer, when it is hot and dry but increasing the productive area.
Do I Look Like I Give A F***, absolutely. Just want to use this thread to say
thanks heaps to everyone for not only making your place a better bit of the planet but also for helping me make my bit of the planet a better place
🙏😊🤸♂️
