Northey Street City Farm in #BrisbaneAustralia
"We consider the vital connection to the elements of nature to be integral to learning and offer practical skills that can be utilised every day in your own garden space or working environment. Being based in the Magical #Bundjalung Country - the Northern Rivers 'Rainbow Region' of Northern #NewSouthWales, Australia, 'Growing Roots' offers a huge range of functional and cutting edge experimental #permaculture systems for students to explore. From the intensive, highly productive market gardens of ‘The Farm’ at Byron Bay through to Rural #FoodForests, #Agroforestry Systems, #BushTukka Gardens and the Great Wilderness of our Subtropical and Cool Temperate Rainforests, the teachings of nature - and humans creative dance within it - are vast and profound. We utilise the following 12 principles of Permaculture."

It's time!
And by that I mean, not only is it springtime, and all of us in the Pacific Northwest and most of the rest of the northern hemisphere should be starting our food crops, but... it's TIME, also. As in, politically, socially, and everything-else-ally, we all need to grow some food.

Save the #DartingtonForestGarden
This page is dedicated to our fight against our landlord’s (#DartingtonHallTrust) decision to evict us from our 31-year-old #ForestGarden in #Dartington, #DevonUK. Here you’ll find latest updates and press releases, and also your tributes to the forest garden and what it means to you, and why it should be preserved.
Update Sun 16 March 2025
"Morning to all our wonderful supporters!
"The petition to save our forest garden has gathered over 7,500 signatures in two days which is AMAZING.
"I think our landlords DHT may have been surprised and shocked both by the level of support and by the passion shown, so thank you all again.
"Before we went public, we did in fact write to CEO Robert Fedder at DHT a week ago, explaining why the forest garden was such an important resource, and asking them to retract their notice to quit. We also told him that there would be considerable public support and inevitable bad PR for them. Clearly DHT didn’t want a sensible dialogue at that time ….
"Our focus now is persuading DHT to sell the forest garden site to us. We know there are supporters out there itching to get crowdfunding so anyone with good experience of this please get in touch – we may need you!
"We heard a report that someone shouted abuse at Dartington staff yesterday. Please don’t. DHT front line staff are not responsible for DHT decisions.
"We are so touched by all the messages of support, this really means a lot so thanks again everyone."

My farmer being a winter advocate for regen ag.
(I say "my" because his family grows the farm share I pick up every Monday half the year)
(During his HS enviro class visit) "I talked about building soil, integrated pest management, conserving water, and sustainable agriculture in general."
A sweet tea-time message from older activists.

How do we heal from the curse of Industrial Ag and the UltraProcessed 'Foods' it produces?
#AccidentalGods #Podcast guest Erin Martin shares the fast & dramatic improvements the FreshRxOK group saw in chronic diabetics and others
Hi all, I'm new here at #FlippingRocks so it's time for an updated #introduction
I'm very much into #yoga and #meditation and everything related to that. I'm trying to learn #Sanskrit because its a beautiful language and also in order to be able to read text like the #BhagavadGita #Upanishads #YogaSutras which greatly inspire me.
I'm from the #Netherlands and work in #science in the field of #AirQuality I may occasionally share something about that, but this is not a work account (and any opinions are my own).
I love #photography , mostly related to #nature #weather #clouds
I try to make a trip to the #forest at least every weekend, I'm lucky to live at the edge of the #Veluwe nature area.
I love growing food in my #garden using #organic #permaculture and #RegenerativeAgriculture inspired methods, I'm dreaming of tending my own #FoodForest some day.
Unfortunately I'm operating at half power thanks to #LongCovid since Feb. '22.
I'll mainly post in English with some posts in Dutch as well. Unpinned toots will be deleted after 3 months, I only boost photos with alt text (feel free to let me know if I've forgotten to add it!).
Let me know if you have similar interests and I'll be happy to chat!

Big Ag Is Using ‘ #Regenerativeagriculture ’ to Mask Business-as-Usual. #Food and #agriculture multinationals are embracing the vague term without changing their polluting ways, according to a new report. Surprised at this #greenwashing ?
Carbon Sequestration through Trench Composting
Get this: you can generate lignite (low-grade coal) in your garden?? Fast! IF you get the composting setup right.
The first half of the video is very detailed, nuts & bolts of soil and chemistry. The actual images of the site and how they did it starts at about 50min.
Soil science is the study of some of the most complex systems imaginable, and sadly still badly neglected-- especially considering how crucial it is to the foundations of our biosphere and survival. Much of this presentation is over my head, and it's tough for me to wade through all the "um, uh, uh"ing, but... wow!
I'll try to summarize:
There's a distinctive layer of black stuff under the soil of the Amazon, and people tend to assume it was built up from fires in years past (biochar is becoming a popular analogue), but researcher Scott Goode says it's created through much the same process that forms coal under peat bogs. That can take millions of years, but under the right conditions it can happen MUCH faster-- and all driven by biological action.
The idea here is you're trying to mimic the layers of soil activity under an old-growth forest, inside a trench 2' deep and 1.5' wide that's anaerobic at the bottom. Doing this in your own yard, Goode calls a "Climate Victory Garden". The trenches bracket your growbeds, and you don't stir or turn them-- you just have to keep filling them from the top, and once it gets going it's got quite an appetite.
Important note: while healthy soils can hold large amounts of carbon (80% of a forest's carbon is underground, only 20% is in the vegetation you can actually see), that carbon only stays put while the web of organisms using it stays healthy. Lignite on the other hand is a mineral that pretty much isn't going anywhere unless it catches on fire. This project demonstrates how to get BOTH the living system AND build long-term carbon storage at the same time.
One bit I really appreciate, about 1h16min in he is asked, "So what about the carbon market, what are they paying for?"
His reply starts with: "Really similar to the biofuels market, it's essentially a scam!"

I'm trying to limit my #introduction posts to a handful of tags, and spread them out temporally. So here's my 2nd.
I'm a frequent #BloodDonor (platelets).
My spouse and I are turning our yard into a #MicroFarm with ~35 fruit trees, berry bushes, 8 garden beds, and #chickens for eggs & some #RegenerativeAgriculture (hat tip to @beautfc for community-building via gardening)!
#BlackLivesMatter seems like it should be obvious, self-evident. The fact that it's not is an indictment of our society.
