Apparently most electric toothbrushes are made with plastic bristles that contains Pfas and PTFE, etc. So, looking for recommendations on safe alternatives, preferably electric (since it cleans better IMO).

Looking for recommendations on permie/homeopathic-type of nasal allergy spray. I get enflamed nasal passageways from some pollens, molds, dog hair, dust mites, etc. and want something that isn't made in a chem lab. Any advice is appreciated!

Any tips are appreciated. We are looking for probably a mid-sized bus to convert.  No idea what make/models are best. We are in Northern Georgia. I have pretty good construction skills, but always helpful to learn from those that are experienced.

Hey Permie-peeps! I'm a couple years into my permaculture nursery business, so I figured I should try and plug my online shop here too:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheNewWarm  
www.TheNewWarm.com (currently under construction).
We’re also willing to barter/trade locally. Our little permaculture microfarm nursery is just outside of Athens in Winterville, GA. We ship year-round, organic plants, seeds, and other health products all over the contiguous 48 states; some bare root and some potted.  Permie people can use the coupon code: “PermieHolidaySale” to get 10% off their order. Contact us about combining shipping on multiple orders.
We sell some ornamentals since we believe beauty has a vital purpose too and they can be a gateway to expose people to some edible and useful plants. Some plants that are listed below will be available again in the Spring 2022.
Here's an abbreviated list of some permaculture-type of plants that we cyclically grow and sell:
• Adirondack Purple Potatoes
• Agastache Hummingbird mint mixed varieties
• Aloe mixed varieties
• Amaranth
• Anise Hyssop
• Aronia
• Artemisia
• Asparagus heirloom varieties
• Asters
• Basils mixed varieties

Thank you everyone for the great suggestions -- looking forward to getting some trees from those sources!  I'm only about 2 years into my own nursery business, but I guess it makes sense to try and plug my online shop here too:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheNewWarm  
www.TheNewWarm.com (currently under construction).

Sean Dembrosky has great You Tube channel and they have nursery plants for sale in the fall and spring.  I have had great success with their hazelnuts.

Looks great! I'll definitely put an order in. Do you think most of your species will be alright in zone 8a?

At least here in Indiana, our state nursery is amazing. A pack of 100 two-year old pawpaw trees sells for only $35. They also carry walnut, pecan, persimmon, American plum, hazelnut, persimmon, and a whole bunch of non-fruit/nut trees.


Thank you everyone for the great suggestions -- much appreciated! I wasn't aware of the state run programs. That's great. Do you happen to know if they ship to other states? Those Indiana plants sound like a great deal!

Thank you, they look great! I am also looking for any sources for buying organic nuts for growing, like hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts, etc. Any recommendations are much appreciated!
