Discussion about mini-split heaters in cold weather. Best brands, best ways to operate. Thoughts?

Bare soil? Nature sends weeds. Low fertility? Here come nitrogen-fixers. Gaps in the canopy? Expect pioneer trees. It’s not random — it’s repair. We can either fight it or design with it. #permaculture #gardening #organicgardening

If you’re in FL, January is one of our favorite months to garden. Cooler temps mean less stress, and the greens absolutely thrive. Here’s a quick planting guide for what you can grow right now. More at: courses.growpermaculture.com #gardening #vegetablegardening #florida

Anybody working with insurance companies to get better building codes, etc, for resilience/adaptation to climate change?

Not sure if this is the first, but why aren't all neighborhoods near wild area/wildfire interface built to withstand wildfire? Good to see this happening. www.goodnewsnetwork.org/california-d... 1/2

This cute little guy is a Rotund-Resin Bee, a solitary native bee. This one is on our chaste tree; I've also seen them on our catnip (beloved by many native pollinators). I love seeing them fly around, flashing their colors and their pollen - stored on their belly. Magical little fairy dust bees.

A solution to this growing concern.

This message cannot be repeated enough. People are making fortunes on keeping us mad at each other by spreading rumors.

Please help keep this essential world class government service that helps farmers and so many other Americans intact; write your Congressperson. Super easy and fast.

#Planttrees always, but also make every tree count. Biodiverse tree islands, native pioneer species, succession management (supporting ecosystems as they mature) and other nature based techniques increase benefits and survival rates!

Stacking functions is a key principle of permaculture. When we design systems to produce more than one function, especially when working with nature to do so, this can multiply the yield of the system beyond expectation.

This is common sense but also proven by number crunching.

Mangroves have massive benefits to humans by reducing storm surge, supporting sealife and capturing carbon. Nice poster summing up benefits.

Interesting resource. I like that solutions include other benefits like ecological or benefits to people. Looking forward to seeing it expand.

Add silvoculture, paddock grazing and grazing animals can help rebuild soil in overgrazed or degraded areas for reforestation efforts

Love these circular, multifunction solutions. Depending on what's in them, filters might make a fantastic fertilizer/soil builder.

Important and true. Most people do not want to trash out our home.

Trees add so much to quality of life. Plant them everywhere that they like to grow. I'm currently designing a one acre wood with climate adaptation in mind.

Can you spare 2 minutes to help us out? We made a very short survey to better understand what people want to learn and how we can serve our community more clearly and effectively. Your input really matters: courses.growpermaculture.com/survey-1/ #permaculture #regenerativeagriculture #gardening

What if your yard could feed you, bring more beauty and peace, and even take care of itself? 🌱🌳 That’s the magic of a food forest. #Permaculture #FoodForest #GrowYourOwnFood #RegenerativeLiving #SustainableGardening youtube.com/shorts/eLuRb...

If you ever thought, “I’d love to grow food, but I don’t have the time”, #Permaculture is for you. Less upkeep. More harvest. More time for everything else. Our self-paced online course starts Oct 14 — the same hands-on learning as in person, just built for real life. courses.growpermaculture.com

We love teaching people to grow food forests. growpermaculture.com #permaculture #foodforest #agriculture #gardening #vegetablegardening

Would so like to see more of this in US cities.

This is more than true of me. I tend to walk miles more each day when I'm in a walkable city than I do when I'm in a car-centric city. I will walk places I don't even need to go just because I can.

Most of the world has been experiencing days like this at some point or other, more and more frequently. This is excellent advice.

We are currently seeking case studies and evidence-based solutions for flooding, including ecological, flood-resistant green building, recovery from toxic exposure and mold, soil recovery, and prevention/mitigation. This piece explains more about our project. open.substack.com/pub/permalif...

I've been working on compiling manuals for regenerative disaster management for a few months now, with a couple of organizations. We're having a free online summit Aug 18-23 on this important topic. If you're interested in this topic, hope to see you there! pina.in/summit_disas...

Feeling it in West Central Florida currently. We've had less rain for a year now too, not good for the orchard on my farm.

There are so many excellent reasons to focus on microgrids to provide our energy needs. This is just one of a long list of ways microgrids create more resilience.

We need to start building for the actual weather. Bonus, far less toxic and has fire and earthquake resistance, looks and feels great.

The researchers concluded that “parents using active transport modes (walking or biking) consistently report healthier body mass index values, higher life satisfaction, greater travel satisfaction, and better academic performance in their children.” ssti.us/2025/06/30/f...

This series is packed with info that is relevant to anybody affected by weather. We've been silo'ed to the point where it's hard to evaluate what's important but understanding weather and other planetary indicators has never been more important. This helps!

My outdoor recreation is mostly free - taking care of a few acres of land; a food forest, gardens, wild areas, and documenting native flora and fauna on INaturalist and elsewhere. So much fun! Also love hiking/kayaking. Glad to see this trend, hopefully will lead to more stewardship!

US total capacity is 1.3TW.

Simple living is massively therapeutic. Getting rid of crap feels wonderful. Living for relationships, appreciating the bounty of nature, feeds our souls. As opposed to consuming endless streams of literally toxic crap - microplastics are making us stupid, as a race. bit.ly/4kNPSHX

There are so many examples of superior building technology used in other cultures over centuries, when looked at from a sustainable/regenerative point of view.

I honestly don’t see why air filters in every single classroom that doesn’t have effective air filtration in the architecture isn’t a no-brainer at this point.

Got too busy to post on Earth Day, but here's my contribution - I've been inextricably drawn into the fascinating world of beautiful insect pollinators and am sharing some of my garden tips for attracting these useful guys in this month's newsletter: permalife.substack.com/p/the-magic-...

It can be simple to create habitat for endangered native pollinators in your yard. We've done this on our farm and have had an explosion of native species showing up as a result. It's beautiful and fascinating! Step 1, create soft landings:

We use a similar technique on our 70 feet of sand in Florida. We add logs and grass cuttings from vetiver and native grasses for additional moisture retention and soil building. A subtle technique that makes big changes!
