Hello from Florida.

We just bought acreage in north Florida after retiring from the military.

Just found this forum - any advice on where to begin on this site for the best intro information?

Welcome to Permies Nadeen!

We have a lot of new folks joining and learning recently, I am one of them!

I would recommend checking out the relevant forums that interest you on the side bar but I would like to encourage you to check out the SKIP/PEP/BB forum that we have that is about skill development and pathways to hands-on permaculture experience.

If something interests you like 'Biochar' I encourage you to look up threads with keywords to see what has been talked about before and perhaps start a new thread if you don't find the information your looking for!

Welcome to the forum and see you in the threads.

Hi Nadeen,

Welcome to Permies.   Take the time to explore. As you come up with questions about the site and how it operates, “Tinkering” is a good place to post them.

Hi Nadeen, Welcome to Permies, and congratulations on your new home!
I always point people to my signature link as a good way of getting to know how the site works - how to post pictures and videos, and so on. Any questions about the site ask in tinkering (start a new thread) General questions: try and find the closest forum to post in.
There are no stupid questions - we were all new once!

Hi Nadeen,
Welcome to Permies!

If you are anything like me, you start on the forums around topics you are interested in... and then your interest list gets longer and longer :)
