  1. S2. The [__~#%^*S-*tripl*-P*^%#~__]

    The thoughts continue to pile up as I prepare for a new education endeavour. Let’s Get Dis.

  2. Carbon Gardens: Part 8 - Community

    Community I’m writing this text for Community. I’m writing this text for the Earth System.

Without community, we have nothing…

  3. Carbon Gardens: Part 7 - Preservation

    Preservation “All that yield. ALL OF THAT FOOOD! So much produce and beauty to preserve.” - I think to myself. There are no preservatives in the aisle of your syntropic agroforest.

  7. Carbon Gardens: Part 3 - Seeds

    Seeds Seeds are like eggs. Hard outer shell with a proto-life form, armoured at its core. If the character traits for seeds were not realised in the manner that they are today, who knows what sort of genetic response the embryonic stage of plants would have evolved to protect itself. Either way…...

  8. Carbon Gardens: Part 2 - Groundcover

    Groundcover The term ground cover is a funny one. When I first heard it I went straight to the idea of a carpet on the ground… not the natural type either. When you first meet the ground cover genie, he asks you, “What are you looking for?” Stunned and unsure about this blue cloud of vapor that…

  9. Carbon Gardens: Part 1 - Soil

    Soil There is a good reason to start with the soil. Apart from it being the interface between seed and plant - The part you're most interested in if you're into plants. It's literally the engine of the garden. This is why you have to create good soil before anything else will happen. No soil, no...

  10. Carbon Gardens: Regenerative tales for our Earth System - INTRODUCTION

    Introduction What if I told you that your green waste bin was a waste of time? What If I told you that all the fertiliser you spent money on was unnecessary.
