My friend and I have been curious of the viability of coffee beans in Texas. He’s a huge coffee afficionado and has a very small greenhouse he could utilize. Has anyone had experience with this? I haven’t heard of it attempted here at all in my permaculture circles.

Also here’s a coffee bean tattoo I did yesterday! The client is a barista.

I put together this promotional video to start a conversation about change and introduce my company’s vision. The goal is to move away from conventional lawns, landscaping, and agriculture in favor of regenerative alternatives that work with nature rather than against it.

I’d love to hear your honest thoughts! What resonates with you? What could be improved?

Me and my fiance want to start a self sufficient garden/homestead and get into permaculture. We don’t know where to start for research is the issue. Any help would be so appreciated! (Also we live in the Midwest and get brutal winters so any tips for growing and keeping things alive in the cold would be fabulous) I wanna start researching and learning about this before we have a house in a few years and can start growing our own food.

I’m currently planning on making a trellis for a hardy kiwi but the only location I have for it prevents me from using anchor cables to help support the verticals. My current plan is to bury 2 3m 100x100mm red cedar beams (treated with some eco friendly wood preserver) 1m deep with some steel U beams screwed either side going 50cm or so deeper. The verticals would be joined by horizontals supported by steel brackets but my main concern is how well what is in the ground would hold up long term to fairly clayey soil. I’m in England so it can be damp for quite a bit of the year.

Any help would be appreciated
