Someone wise once said "When it comes to other people, do not assume. For it makes an ass of you and me"

A thought. What if you agree with your partner on the following approach - Appetites and Time-boxes.

Instead of accepting all tasks as obligations - discuss what Appetite for projects each of you has in a given time (time-box) Could be a month, a season or just a week. See what aligns and what seems possible in that time frame. Do your best. Check-in on the deadline. Learn why it did or did not happened.

Appetites can be adjusted from that learning. There is always the next time-box.

Looks like your normal pioneer plants, Butter cup, Yellow Dock(Rumex) and Chickweed

There is a nice plant identification app https://plantnet.org/en/ works most of the time

Meta permaculture theme - it creates an Edge

# Heatsink/Microclimates
🪨 South-facing slope solar sink (behind house or anywhere against a north-facing aspect)
🪨 Wallapini greenhouse walls
🪨 For mediterranean herbs spirals
🪨 Pond surface heat sinks (Sepp Holzer style)
🪨 Petracuniculum, reptile rock pile grottos
🪨 Bird baths and water features (use grinder and masonry disk)

# Structure element for hardscape
🪨 Foundation pile in permafrost
🪨 Retaining wall (anywhere, ramps, erosion locations, raised beds, hillside 'drain well')
🪨 Retaining wall of overflow edge of your watershed system. Swale diversion
🪨 Wind breaks
🪨 Viktor Schauberger's river/stream vortex to reduce bank erosion (if you have streams)
🪨 Camping/Fire pit edging for camping sites

# Art
🪨 Build your own stone hedge to celebrate solstices  
🪨 Decorated marker stones on windy paths. Petroglyph art.
🪨 Rock Walls with integrated planting
🪨 Hardscape accent feature in asian themed gardens
🪨 All kinds of aerial photography "alien" installations and mosaics for profitable hoaxes

(Ideally observe sun and fluid patterns for a year to find most beneficial spots)

I've seen other track rail DIY systems but nothing this compact and capable. Share yours.

I'm just a beginner in woodworking but it seems the tech is running away from me. These tools look like a good deal for the specifications.

If anyone knows - do these come with batteries or just a power adaptor? Still trying to figure out...
