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

Are there any good #Mastodon servers out there for #CommunityGarden projects? (except social.coop, of course 馃槈)
EDIT: doesn't actually need to be Mastodon. Any fedi platform will do.
