• The Hard Work of Permaculture is Boring

  In this episode, I talk about something that we don’t address enough: the hard work of Permaculture is boring. It’s not heroic. It doesn’t make for a great YouTube short or video to add to your story. The pictures that come out of it are rarely art, or something you’d want to post to Instagram. I hope this episode reminds you why we show up day after day, week after week, for the small, routine tasks of permaculture. If you found this helpful, share it with a friend who might be struggling on their journey right now, so it can be a bit of encouragement to keep going, even when it’s tedious.  Until the next time, spend each day showing up and putting in the work, as you care for Earth, yourself, and each other.

  An update with a bit of big news: we found, made a winning offer on a house in Cleveland, Ohio! When I decided to relaunch the show, I knew it was going to be a rollercoaster-like adventure, with possible delays, ups, downs, and time spent waiting. Thank you for your patience while we move our lives across state lines. Once the dust settles, things are shaping up to bring you new stories, experiments, and voices, from Cleveland, from Ohio, and from around the world. And if you have ideas for what we should tackle first, I’d love to hear from you.

Until the next time, spend each day exploring, enjoying, and building your local community, while taking care of Earth, your self, and each other.

  Today's question comes from Owen: What does it look like to put a permaculture garden to bed for the winter? Mulching / tilling / planting cover crops / none of the above / something else?
