My wife had some morning talk crap on earlier this week.  Can’t remember what it was but it was two gals sucking down wine in the morning and cackling about stuff.  Anyway they started talking about the concept of “snow plow parenting”.  Okay I will listen, may be if I had some of that wine…….. Well it was a decent segment, they were talking about how young adults 18-27 were no longer developing life skills.  One of the gals talking was a late menial (37) the other a mid GenXr (46 like me).  What they were saying was that snow … Continue reading →

Four weeks ago I realized that we have not really dived deep into the topic of Permaculture I began this current series on Permaculture. So far we have completed part one, part two and part three of this series. If you have not listened to them you may want to before proceeding in the series.  You can find the entire series here. Today we are pulling back a bit from a pure design discipline approach to talk about what I see as the goal for the majority of TSP listeners that want to bring permaculture into their own back yard.  … Continue reading →
