digging in the dirt

I've spent two days this week with the folks from Bountiful Backyards working on turning our front yard, which is shaded by a hundred year old pin oak, from the scraped landscape it was


into something both beautiful and useful. They brought in edible, medicinal, sustainable, and native plants to give our yard a new look and new life.


Next week, the finish touch will be to inoculate the wood chips around the tree with oyster and golden mushroom spores to create a mushroom bed.


I'm tired of hauling wood chips and I'm very excited about what we have set in motion.

Peace,
Milton
