Moving to Chicago
Well it has been nice here in MN, but I am excited to get to Chicago and start building urban permaculture systems. The Chicago office is going to be near Jefferson Park.

Transplanting and Thinning
The babies needed to be thinned so I salvaged the strong ones for the AP system and composted the ones that weren't doing so good. Then left the strong ones in a staggered position in the planters and top-dressed with about 1/4 inch of vermi-compost. The next step is foliar feeding with compost tea. Also … Continue reading Transplanting and Thinning
Window Garden

DIY Berkey water system
I made a water filter using two 5 gal. buckets, Berkey water filters and a spout that could easily be used to filter out water nasties for an Aquaponics system or compost tea. I found the taste not to be as good as Reverse Osmosis however. Pics: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.665635600129905.1073741830.250581604968642&type=3
