Practical Self Reliance

Hey y'all!

I started a blog to talk about our experiences setting up a permaculture paradise on 30 acres off grid up here in Vermont (zone 4).  Much of it is still in the planning stages, so thus far posts are mostly about foraging our land for what's existing in the woodland, like wild nuts, medicinal herbs and mushrooms.  Here's a few examples:

Thus far, we've had great success improving soils in degraded areas using wood chip cover inoculated with winecap mushrooms, mulched under newly planted perennials, which I'm going to write up soon.

Over the winter, I'm going to to be writing about our permaculture designs and starting to talk about our journey getting setup here.
