1Justin is going to create an instructional Divi video to show how to create content on his website. In the meantime, there are 3 videos out there in Autonomy Unlimited that reference Divi. https://www.universityofreason.com/products/autonomy-unlimited-higher-education/categories/3032948
the shared google doc. Please add categories, or add your interest (intention) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MQ4-3t824N1IgL5LC8pcnDUhb2l_dzgYNKVHJAINjQY/edit?usp=sharing
Just the beginning...
2Here you go, a basic enough introduction to building articles! run wild and bring out your best content to the table! I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone writes about! https://www.loom.com/share/c9129570c2d345cd975be13ebe29f08d

I prefer soil. It's what plants crave.
1Reminder for @food-freedom that we will not be having a meeting today, as we are using these two weeks to get our content onto foodfreedom.biobask.com ... Looking forward to what you all have to share, if you need some help building a post, check out my loom video above

1Hello, I would like to share with you a presentation I have put together. This is an idea I have been thinking on for years, and am going to implement in the world. If you are interested in what I've been up to, or have an interest in ecological solutions/ethical food production, please take a moment to hear me out. I will be starting one of these soon, but this is still in an idea stage, and as so, I would greatly appreciate any feedback you have to offer. https://www.loom.com/share/70f86c26c44f4ca498c239346e7e1a14

How's yalls week? I've just been mainly cleaning and planning- still canning the peas and now thinking about the fish and the rabbits- When is our next gathering planned?

Hi guys, I’d like to apologize for my “absence/silence” on here but still committed to push this project together with all of you into the next gear though! I’ve been writing on some topics and I worked out/planned/structured the original idea/concept for the series so we’ll have a clearer base to work from. As planned, next gathering tomorrow 4pm ET.

Some great messages from Whole Systems Design (Ben Falk) on focus as you work on a property
Wow, fantastic. Great pictures. You have a nice, large CSA-sized farm there! I'll bet you were busy!
Awesome @Robby LeBourveau I’m on the road all day today but can’t wait to check it out later

I've been a long fan of the Weston Price foundation (people have theories: he's got data). I just came across information on the documented therapeutic use of raw milk (The Milk Cure). Supreme nutrition cures just about anything. Several books are mentioned, including excerps from an article written for the Mayo Foundation (before it became the Mayo Clinic and before it abandoned nutrition in favor of chemicals) https://www.realmilk.com/health/milk-cure/
1
Also picked & tested our (very aged) Wolf Creek Apple tree. They are ready! I am taking the day off tomorrow to pick them and process them. Lots of apple pies to freeze, and maybe just freeze slices for use later. Will probably also do some dehydrating.
1@here please make sure you have backups that you require from the guest zoom account. We will be deleting the cloud recordings and I see there are food freedom recordings there. Thanks!

#food-freedom , I have spent years working with microorganisms and seeking to understand their interplay in the environment. I believe that I have accumulated some valuable information that can help anybody further understand the natural world and become empowered in it’s restoration. I am compiling a three-week course on probiotics in soil and waterways. The applications of this information goes well beyond agriculture and can be applied to a myriad of different situations in everyday life. The course can be taken stand-alone, though it is specifically oriented to be paired with a bottle of mother cultures. Through the course I will teach what this product is, how it works, and why it’s important. I will teach you how to eliminate food waste, grow food in abundance, and fortify natural systems. You can get a bottle of mother cultures on my website, https://biobask.com/?page_id=342 (AUTONOMY members get the course free-of-charge, and the product listed is available at cost) To become a distributor, I require a minimum order to get partner pricing. With only 5 orders, this becomes possible for me, so I am offering here to get enough momentum to take the business out of first gear. The orders will not be immediately shipped, but everyone who supports this will be notified as soon as the supply is available. I am thrilled to present something made possible through AUTONOMY; and offer my insight and understanding back into the community. To our shared prosperity, Justin

Please send good vibes to my greenhouses tonight - it’s supposed to frost ❄️ 
2 2 3Should be fine! Looks nice and cozy. It'll frost outside, but not inside. (Especially if you spend the night out there with them....)
2Ha! I won’t be spending the night with them. They survived the night. Just a couple more cold nights to deal with. 
Anyone @here near the Portage, Indiana area? I'd really like some actionable advice on setting up a greenhouse. I'm thinking another avenue for this type of inquiry would be seeing if there is a "freedom cell" in my area to get physical help. Wish me luck!
So, Hoop house may be your best bet (there is sometimes federal money to do thsi stuff: https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detailfull/national/programs/?cid=stelprdb1046250) you may want to be in touch with your Extension office.....I don't usually like the government, but there is money to be had if you look in the right places
I am not near your area, but you are near major urban areas. Just go get plugged in! AUTONOMY is a great tribe, but it almost completely online/digital. Real-Life groups are going to be separate & different. Perhaps narrower niches. 1) I'd find the nearest CSA Hub, which should get you a list of dozens of local CSA options. And so those should point to local Organic Farms, that usually allow tours, etc. Another way to do that is via orgs like "National Young Farmers Coalition", your Indiana Extension Offices, County Fair & 4H, etc. Examples: Acorn Acres, Living Earth Farms, 2) I'd check out local meetup groups or alternative type sites. Example: PrepperNet NW Indiana has 80 members, around Chesteron area. Another: NWI Deep Thinkers, just had a meeting on the calendar about how CCP is Evil. (First Prepper Meetup I went to back in Madison, WI, I overheard someone there say "Hugelkultur" and BAM! Lifelong friend. Never really did anything else with that prepper group. Damn glad I went though) 3) Find local subgroups from BIG web sites. I'd check out Jack Spirko's TSPN group, and Permies.com group, and then their Telegram and other 'alternative' chitchat sites that are way bigger than FreedomCells seems to be right now. 4) Look into local Rod, Gun, Hunting & Conservation clubs. Take a class to get your Concealed Carry permit, etc. DNR. Example: North Porter County Conservation Club (NPCCC) All it takes it to get plugged in, and then you can network, as people know people.
2@Dustin Cote @Robby LeBourveau Awesome resources and suggestions, guys. Thank you! This gives me a good amount of homework to dig into. Robby, to answer your question, I guess it's because of my ignorance on the subject. I've never heard of a cold frame or floating tunnels. But in regards to a greenhouse specifically, I figured that I'd better start learning how to grow in the winter sooner than later. I know you're south of me, what do you do in the winter? If either of you would be open to chat about this, please check my calendly: https://calendly.com/osanch01 Thanks again!
@Ashley P I think @Dustin Cote is our buddy but he's ignoring us right now
Hah! All good. I’m by-and-large for ignoring technology. I’ll just ask around other places. Thanks!
@Ashley P Ive been doing indoor hydropincs for 10+ years (all cannabis) but i may be able to help feel free to rach out

For those with chickens, fish, or anything else that likes grubs, i highly recommend getting one of these or building a diy one. Black soldier fly larvae are highly prolific, will eat basically anything food based (meat/fat included), don't harbor bad bacteria, and even eat larva of other fly species. They are high in calcium, protein, and fat and make an excellent feed supplement. http://www.protapodusa.com/biopod-plus.html

Love this guy and his company. He had me at, "Serving his white sage" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyRmzasu4Ig&t=62s
He’s great, thanks for the tip. Like in Botany of Desire, Pollan postulates that the potato convinced humans to help it take over the world... serve the plants. 
Reminds me of McKeena's stoned ape theory. (Shrooms just want to get back off the planet)

"Garlic Army" update. This is what 320 look like, and is last year's pic. I try to increase my army a little bit every year. This year I was going to do 400, but had room for another row and a half. So planted 460 yesterday!

We were able to warn our Doctor's wife, who was about to do the same thing at a Christmas party, oh so many decades ago...
That's a good link. This is suppose to be our winter basement project.
Got all these grow lights that should be used during the off-season
2We have not got that far, yet. Just growing things at our convenience in the greenhouse - One of those Harbor Freight polycarbonate panel thingies we inherited from my Father in Law. With our periodic winds, I go chasing panels and little metal spring clips in the general area...

That is expanded clay pebble, called Hydroton. There are other types of grow media that could be used or combined. River rock, "growstone", 3/4" gravel. Ideally used for root veggies, or plants that are top heavy. Attached is how the media is used. Hope this helps.....

Anyone experienced/knowledgeable in acorn harvesting and processing? I have some questions...
still looking for acorn info?
We had a ginger start, but it is too cold here, will need to create a warmer growing environment...
we're going to make a light peatmoss soil mix, keep it in shallow storage bins, under lights and above a space heater. get it started, and when it's warm enough transfer it outside.
still looking for acorn info?
Hi Jeffrey, yes I am!
what stage are you at?
Really all of it...but first, what is best to collect? Is it safe to collect and process acorns that have begun to sprout? What if some of the nut is turning pink where the sprout has begun? What about ones that have some brown in them? If they have a worm, can it be cut out and the rest used?
what state are you in? i've found a few masting trees in NC, but i haven't been actively searching.
Do you use a blend of acorn flour and other flours? If you have a recipe you'd like to share that would be awesome.
First sneak peek is out on the "Truly Passive Greenhoue" movie & blueprint. It's looking good. https://youtu.be/ZVeRvcTiq9c

I am in Michigan, lower peninsula.
oh wow. i'm from Monroe, on the East side of the state. you're in good territory for foraging. Sam Thayer's books will be especially useful. he's from WI. i am hopeful to start travelling back to MI in the summers for wild rice season. you can cut the acorn flour if you desire. depends on how much you have to work with i also heard of a guy who makes acorn miso but i have not begun to traverse that path yet.

1@Patrick Sheehan We are on parallel journeys! I had some inital attempts go weird- smelled funny and they rejected- too watery, one batch started to mold-- but i'm finally getting it down right i think,
1Yea i've had to throw out out some too. What I've been doing recently is saving some of the water from the finished jars (the good ones) to use as a starter for the new ones in the cycle. Since I started doing that I haven't had any others sour on me.

1I shared in another group, but though I would here too. Picture processing the last of the pigs for the year. Raised 5 this year, and processed all on farm. Raised them to between 250 and 300 lbs.
And some of the farm raised, farm made salami from this year. First attempt at fermented cures, and turned out great.

@ChrisMcMillon (or anyone) have any experience deworming chickens? found some gnarly looking ones in their poop today. no idea which one so figured i should deworm them all but getting conflicting advice reading google and was hoping you had some pointers
I've never had this issue before-not yet-
gonna douse their pen in DE and sprinkle some around the yard where the pen is. but idk what i can do to rid the pasture of them
After you deal with the immediate mitigation and have some time to cogitate, is their presence due to an imbalance that can also be addressed? As far as your pasture, is what I am getting at. I do not know myself, but that is what my permaculture hat is suggesting I would think about next...? I don't even know what kind of worms you are treating for, where they came from, etc...
seems like best i can do is keep it mowed and let the sun kill em
1So many beetles
I need more modules so i can harvest more often

right, just as our body is always right in its response to imbalance, toxins, toxic environment/situation, so too are the bodies of animals right..

1@ChrisMcMillon if you end up going the beetle condo route, i highly recommend a beetle containment field. I was under the impression the couldnt escape. Either i did something wrong or my was understanding wrong. No matter what, it was wrong. I dont think i wanna know how many might have escaped before i implemented this device

not sure if anyone's gonna need to build a high tensile fence but i wish i'd found this before i started. luckily my project was a fix-up/bolt-on rather than a from scratch job. this will be good to have for next time. https://kencove.com/fence/Assets/documentation/ZHTInstall.pdf
1Encouraging: Permaculture concepts in Mexico, reforestation through regeneration, better silage for animals, better water management, and an investment angle that promotes investing in these practices because the land values (and other valuation) appreciate over time - a true growing asset. https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2022/03/06/regenerative-agriculture-week.aspx

Hey now What's the motel look like? I saw some pictures of a black soldier fly larvae setup that was just a tote and some PVC pipe. I was thinking about trying to set one of those up.
Yea bsfl setups are easy. Here's the motel. I did the beetle bin wrong so they escape, hence the bin around it. Fixable but havent gotten around to it

word of warning to those that raise BSFL: I found the second thing that will collapse a colony. The first made sense. Diatomaceous earth in some chicken feed. The second I wouldn't have expected but I guess made sense too. The bromelain in pineapple stalled them to the point where I assume they're all dead but new larva are appearing. To say another way, it's not destroying the batch like the DE did but I'll need to transfer as many larva out to a new batch as I can to jump start the colony's recovery with new feed stock. please reply with any questions or if you know other things bsfl can't handle
