I live a little more than 2 hours from you.. Over here in Council Bluffs. I've been a grower at my families greenhouses and turning my tiny backyard into something nice. Don't know if I'm ready to relocate and you're sort of a drive away, but if you ever needed help with some things I wouldn't mind getting my hands dirty.
I'm sorta new to some permaculture stuff. I have a good knowledge of how things work, just didn't know they were what permaculture is. I grew up in greenhouses however and have an extensive history with hydroponics and aquarium systems. Spend most of my life in a 90 acre greenhouse.
