I do it this way. Discard is available for cooking, but no waste.

For rabbits and voles, I am use a tree tube just a few feet tall, and for deer, I use a chicken wire cage. I have a lot of deer pressure. I’m very near a state park in a very rugged area, well rugged for Indianapolis.

Both are good, just different. I enjoy the solitude of working alone. But the productivity of a group is very attractive!

You could try buttonbush. It likes shade and moisture. It's pretty cool looking too

Some people have told me cardoon is a mulchmaker for them.

Asian stores are a great resource for things like chicken bones and feet that make delicious bone broths.

I simmer all day and then make vegetable soup with the broth. It's so gelatinous you know it's super healthy!

Add beans or dried peas, onion, celery, carrots, leftover veg like bits of corn, peans, green beans. I also like to add daikon radish and/or zucchini very near the end of cook time. I enjoy the texture contrast. I also throw in greens right at the end. Mixed greens are especially nice and it's a great way to use up little bits.

Serve with home made bread and perhaps a bit of nice cheese. Yum!

Egg salad is another favorite.

Maybe nothing terribly original here, but a reminder can be helpful.

I find it helps to think "how little can I spend on this meal" to open the creative floodgates

Anyone else feel a deep connection with the ancestors and women worldwide while hanging out the laundry?

it's a spiritual thing.

Yes, make it a movie. I would support.
