Used to keep them all in one bag like Charles Tarnard was talking about. This system has been working out okay but it could be better.

I keep this in a backpack at all times, so I got them on the fly if I need them.

I'm friends with a woman who teaches PDCs for Pikes Peak Permaculture in the Colorado Springs region, including various towns all around Colorado.

She is looking for a venue to teach personal classes for her LLC located in north/eastern Colorado Springs, Peyton or Falcon.

Please send me a purple moosage if you know of a place. Thank you.

Nice! I try to stay pretty low carb and avoid grains as well, so I basically avoid bread all together. Even the "keto friendly" bread that actually isn't keto friendly.. I'll occasionally cheat and eat sourdough bread though because I can't resist.

Would you mind sharing the chickpea egg bread recipe?

I've been propagating comfrey like crazy throughout the years. I believe it's the Russian variety (Symphytum × uplandicum) with the pinkish flowers that is not as invasive as some of the others.

They grow very quickly and have a surplus of vegetation, sometimes too much... I will chop and drop it, use it in compost, feed it to the goats etc... I also want to get into making comfrey tea at some point.

I'd have to say an 80's-90's Toyota SR5 or Hilux pickup truck with a long bed. Just make sure you keep up with oil changes and it will run for 500k+ miles.

As mentioned above, I'd go with rye and/or clover. I've also had good results implementing Daikon radish into the mix. It will drill through tough soil and store nitrogen in the large/deep roots if you don't harvest it. I've never done it on a large scale though and have no idea how Daikon would do in your climate.

Happy new year everyone!

My new year's resolution is to build even bigger hugel berms this year.

I don't use raised beds but if it were me, I'd just lay wood (limbs or pallet pieces) on the inside of the bed walls to plug the cracks and make sure they are in place as you add soil, the pressure of the soil should keep them in place. If you use limbs, make sure they are fully dead so they don't leech nitrogen.

The easiest option would be to use cotton sheets like you said.
