Right now, the only pathway for this role is to get very involved with all things Permies. Ping me again when you have 500 apples.

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals.

I was making pancakes for the fam on this yuletide morn, and the whisk that's been barely hanging on for about 7 years finally utterly bit the dust.

Time for a new whisk.

Parameters:
-all stainless (though I like pine whorls)
-durable
-flat or oblong


We have a dough whisk for bread. This one needs to whip cream, eggs, and batters.

Do you have a stainless whisk you love? Bonus points if it's more than ten years old and still on the market with the same manufacturing process.

More work up front, but a sustainable method is pumping with a dc solar pump to a cistern at higher elevation to provide your pressure.

Welcome to the weird club.  

Thanks for making permies so some of us can be weird together.

I also hope for optimization and diversification of the weird permie community path, with a decrease in personal independence focus unto an increase in success.

Just making sure everyone knows that Andres is the name of a real human artist, not a new AI persona.

This is Paul Wheaton's 16th Kickstarter!

When you’re bonkers about permaculture, you might seem a bit crazy to your friends and family.

Twelve years ago, we came out with a deck of Permaculture Playing Cards.
The idea was simple: give these decks to people as gifts so you seem a little less crazy.

And it worked.

People loved them so much that they kept asking for another deck.
So we started a long list of ideas, over a hundred in total, and chose the best ones to bring you something new:
the Purple Deck.


Why It Works

Here’s the magic: You hand someone a deck, maybe that cousin who thinks you’ve lost it because of your bizarre gardening techniques. They open it up, pull out two random cards, and spend about seven seconds looking at each.

That’s all it takes. Two cards. Fourteen seconds. And suddenly, they’re hooked on permaculture.

Each card is designed to spark curiosity and share one fascinating slice of the gardening, homesteading and permaculture world, from rocket cooktops to willow feeders, from forage gardening to cleaners you can eat.

Was I backer #1?  I was definitely one of the first 3!

photo one.....maybe bitter weed...grows in all of the pastures in my area.
photo two...maybe flea bane....pastures also, prolific here this year.
photo three....something in the morning glory family.
photo four....this one I am certain is smart weed.  Of all four of these this is the one I find beneficial.  I have been letting it grow up in areas to out compete grasses, especially bermuda and it is not bad as a chop and drop mulch...and I think the 'flowers' are cute, always have:)

Judith, do you find the bitterweed to be a problem?  Do your animals eat it?  

Had ginko seeds for the first time this week. Like a dazzling emerald green mildly savory gelatenous jelly bean.

I want to try some mild ginko desserts, akin to almond and macadamia flavors.
