This is in our backyard, southeast Texas. There is no danger to humans, I’d just like to responsibly clean it up to where I’m not damaging the ecosystem. I love these privets, and it seems like they’re being smashed down by this dead cypress that was struck by lightning. Is there anything I can do to help open the area up responsibly/safely to give the privets more room? Or just live and let live? And what to do about the half dead half alive brush piles?

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.
