There I was, strolling through the hardware store, looking for a few things I needed, and looking at some things I clearly didn’t need. You know the things, shiny power tools (I admit it, I love the sound a nail gun makes! Ah, the possibilities!), expensive looking floor tiles, massive terr...

Converted flat lawn, a challenge in a cold, windy, humid climate, and a compacted poor soil. Most annual vegetables, many native herbs, some flowers, and now researching whether perennials are better for this polar permaculture situation.
