I also have a small patch to work with and it is so rewarding. I started reading about permaculture because I hated the idea of added npk fertilizers to make plants grow. It felt so unintuitive and daunting to me.

The moment I read about dynamic accumulation, soil life cycles and guilds it was like a bomb went off in my head. I was so excited I had to read everything I could. I love the idea of a mostly closed cycle and reusing as much of what the garden and my kitchen waste could provide.

 

Andrew Millison presents a detailed and clear path for anyone assessing their site for water management.

I love his presentation style - perfect for visual learners - plus he really knows his stuff.

I've been struggling with whether to get an autism diagnosis or an adhd one (or to blow the money on therapy instead). I feel like I'm functioning less and less the older I get and sometimes wish a test trial of stimulants could tell me if I had ADHD.

Like if I functioned better on meds then I'd know I'm ADHD. I know it's not a logical wish but I hate all the loopholes and money. I struggle to make medical appointments for anything that is immediately obvious like a wound or rash. Need to get a script ready in my head and hate advocating for myself or the kids to indifferent professionals.

My husband has been following a discord channel of each sub going dark like he's watching the races. Chuckling about sub names and citing the user numbers/stats

I'm a very big fan of leaving odd leftover logs from winter in the garden and the amount of life that each one houses (mushrooms, pillbugs, centipedes etc) in the garden still astounds me. If love to attract more beetles too and I've read that burying them helps.
