elanor, thank you! those are great thoughts. and i had never heard of straw bale planting before and just read a little about it. what an interesting method!

anne, my next reading assignment will be lead mold as i'm not familiar with that either, but very interested to learn more.

i appreciate y'all!
hi sweet ones, i am new here (though admittedly i've looked around the singles forum before) and so grateful for all the info and excited about all the subtopics.

after a couple years of looking for my acreage and not finding quite what i want (the goal is to start a homestead-based artist/writing residency), i have paused the search for owning and am renting an amazing place on the columbia river.

i have a big yard, and the ability to (in the long term, after i show the land owner i can be trusted to make things beautiful) garden/landscape there.

i am good with plants and have gardened more avidly in the many raised beds outside my city place for a few years now. i've also farmhanded at a spot or two and keep bees, but i've never really dealt with sand.

any tips on plants or pollinators that might dig this type of crossover from river sand to grass that i'll be dealing with? or will the drainage simply be too extreme? if so, is hugelkultur in beds perhaps a good solve to this? open to all the things i'm not thinking of as well
your smile is so sweet in that second pic. i'm all the way in oregon, wanna hit the west coast?
