Who has written on the implications and practicalities of rehabilitating subsistence, in preparation for the transition of heavily-financialized economies to a post-growth world?

My thought here is beyond the individual yearning for homestead life, what conditions make the shift towards a radically lower-impact way of life both desirable and feasible for many of the heaviest consumers in the world today? #permaculture #degrowth #subsistence #postindustrial #downshifting #gentrification

The Aerobic Digest is back! https://the.aerobicdigest.email/p/the-aerobic-digest-14-electric-compost-battery-test

After an enforced break I’ve figured out how to write my #composting newsletter again.

This issue: community composting in Birmingham and Machynlleth, a compost-powered computer in Manchester and a dead hedge.

Hope you enjoy it!

#Mastodon: The Tapestry of Alternatives

Tapestry of Alternatives is this actual existing organisation/website. But I also like to think of Mastodon in this way. This is what it is to me. Full of amazing people who are trying to build other worlds, whether digitally (eg @aral’s fantastic work on the small web), through forest gardens and #permaculture (so many wonderful people here!), or just by seeing through all the bullshit. Thank you to all, keep going. ❤️

I've found a nice way to organise my feeds (e.g. websites or the Fediverse) using the zones from permaculture. See the image for a general impression, I've written more on how I use it here:

https://kedara.eu/organising-feeds-permaculture/

I'd be happy to hear whether this system could work for you or not, especially once you've given it a try.

What systems do you use to keep track of favourite writers and reduce the overwhelming feeling of the unread counter?

#blogpost #blaugust2025 #blaugust #permaculture #feeds

The six zones used to organise feeds: Home, Porch, Backyard, Orchard, Pasture and Pond. More details are given in the blog post.

I figure a good number of you heads’ll be interested to know this exists. Picked it up at blessed Housmans the other day, and really looking forward to getting into it when I’m done with “Fascist Yoga” (to which it seems like it’ll be a useful corrective/palate cleanser).

@adamgreenfield if you haven't seen it already.. think you'll find this article fascinating and may be some overlap with that book. I think was shared while you were 'on a break' from here. #permaculture #ClimateChange #Weather #rainfall #drought #vegetationhttps://www.resilience.org/stories/2023-07-17/millan-millan-and-the-mystery-of-the-missing-mediterranean-storms/

Our next newsletter will discuss something that maybe you've been thinking about (but probably not): raising chickens in a dryland environment. What aspects of care are different? How do chickens fit into a regenerative project? What alternatives to chickens are there and what differences are there in the niche they fill?

If your land is not arid or dryland, but you are concerned about increasing temperatures and more frequent droughts, some of the care information in this post may be useful as your environment changes in the near future.

I hope to release this early this week, but don't forget to subscribe so that you don't miss it in your inbox.

And please consider subscribing at our supporter tier for fun gifts twice a year and access to additional information - this month I'll be releasing a delightful recipe for paid subscribers only. We could use your support to keep this space going. Thank you!

Dear #permaculture & #nodig folk, how are y'all handling _the spreading_ of #woodchips during a #drought? Rather not and instead waiting for moister weather, or do you rather water them before spreading?

I'm wondering wether their insulating effect is a problem on soil that's dry to start with. The first few rains here seem to have barely moistened the top woodchip layer, but haven't reached the ground.

Seems like watering soil before spreading any cover seems best + then watering some more?

Because of this video, I started burning bones in a fire creating a nice wood & bone ash amendment for our soil. There are so many small shifts that can be made that are simple and free. I often feel silly for not drawing some of these conclusions myself because in hindsight they seem obvious. Audrey Logan also mentions the tendency of white/Western permaculturists to divorce technique from ancestral spiritual practices. #Indigenous #permaculture #gardening
