Wow! You really had lots of timber. I think it looks great.

How did you determine that you should add those things to your mix? Is it just what you happened to have, or was there a formula involved?

Also, what do you mean by keyhole path there?

Once again, just want to say it's fantastic work. Makes me sad to see so many people burn up the material left by storms.

Edit: I also wanted to say thanks for taking the time to share.

We live in Kingsley, so the Northwestern lower peninsula I guess you would say. I have a good friend that lives near Grand Rapids. It's been a long time since I made beer and I am really excited to get back into it.

I'be been constantly moving around my entire adult life, but I've been studying sustainable living for about 7 years and I am so excited that we are finally in a place where I can work the land.

I'd definitely be interested in meeting up. Just have a big family and have to work it in to my schedule.

Nice work. That's some beautiful land! Looks like you might've had a lot of rocks to dig up. Is the silver tarp in the pictures just to keep the dirt until you put it back?

I am new to Permies and new to the Mitten as well. We just moved up from Texas this February and bought a house with a big barn and a small amount of land.

I am also into brewing, although I couldn't bring any equipment with me. Any recommendations on a good homebrew supply store?

I would be very interested to talk about anything permaculture related, especially in relation to our new home state and completely different environment!
