 We sold all but two of our lambs for Bitcoin this year. All for Bitcoin last year. Go to Bitcoin meetups regularly and you will find your market. I drive up to 2hrs to attend meetups . 

 What do you mean? 

 It all starts with your local Bitcoin meetup  

 I was able to negotiate a cheap power rate, partially by calling the power company every month for over a year.  

 No, I won't say. 

 Now that I know corny chat can do slides, I'll easily be able to offer this presentation. People will be able to ask questions and interact too.  

 I'm adding a little every year to the solar power production. Bottle neck seems to be the charge controllers, still seem necessary for direct DC.

I agree. 

 You should take my permaculture class 

 Turn it into rabbit meat mostly. 

 I've got two trees I can sell right now. I'll bring them to the next swmi meetup if you want them.  

 I will be harvesting pawpaw soon and can have seeds available too. I've had good success growing them from seed.

 I probably just didn't realize the boost would get read until after the meetup.  

 I couldn't say, just filled up the a plastic bin. There are still tons of elderberries in the bushes I just couldn't help myself and had to harvest some.  

 We're in the part of the cycle where you have to buy more Bitcoin miners. (Then realize it was a horrible mistake until 2 years later but you sold them at a loss already) 

 I know, I've just been playing around with it and since most don't use it the notes look out of place to me. I wasn't sure if it looks compelling or annoying.

 I've been meaning to delete Twitter, want to hold hands and do it together?

 I bought this yurt used for less than the cost if I were to buy all the materials at the big box hardware store. It was listen on eBay, strange place to try to sell a yurt so I was the only person to bid on the auction. I had to take it apart and rebuild it as well as replace a lot of missing/broken boards. This one is 20ft, I feel like it could be build diy style, even if you purchased the skin, for a very reasonable price for the square footage. If you pay someone for a kit or to build it for you, definitely expensive.  

 It definitely depends on size and how fancy you want to get. This one is basically 2x4s and pine car siding for the floor built on deck framing.  

 I would add, don't damage the environment and don't be extractive. 

 Lamb eating tree leaves the last month before processing tastes good!

How does it interoperate with other Nostr clients?  

 That's a cool idea! 

 This would be great for having a little shop of homestead products I have available. I couldn't make a note with all the product information then people could swipe through and interact with each product individually. Definitely gonna try to format a note like this even if the carousel rendering isn't available.

 Am s9 is cheaper than a bit axe and much more useful in general. Plus, when you're ready to upgrade to an s19, the PSU can be utilized with a Loki chip to continue to mine on 110v power. S9 still the goat when it comes to getting started mining.

The lambs are grazing their way through what's left of the best pasture we have. About two weeks left until the first butcher date. In a few days we will be taking the lambs to the handling system for a weigh-in and check up. They look like they put in some good growth since the last check, so I'm hoping they average weight is back up to normal. The season seemed to fly by this year, hard to believe we will be delivering these lambs to bitcoiners in just a few weeks!

With everything going on at the homestead, I was prepared to let the elderberries go to the birds. I still have plenty in the freezer from last season, but the berries were looking so good I couldn't resist spending a couple hours, harvesting, processing and cooking the berries down into concentrate. Ended up with over a quart of elderberry syrup.

 # Dialing in the chicken compost system #
https://v.nostr.build/HU4VYHYYicwUljdW.mp4
Refining and improving the animal systems at the homestead have been on the back burner because we were focusing our attention on completing the tiny house rental and providing the best experience for our guests. Now that we have the tiny house all set, I've started working on the chicken compost system.
https://i.nostr.build/KcBhpxMlrEuyGIlQ.jpg
Right now, there is a pile of winter waste hay from our dairy sheep and some wood chips. The chickens scratch through the pile breaking it down as the gobble up all sorts of bugs and other things to eat. When I come to collect the eggs each morning, I spend 10 minutes building the pile back up. The pile is starting to go thermophilic and develop some nice heat.
https://v.nostr.build/e14v4aR8XiRHMYaE.mp4
Now that we have ducks in addition the guard goose, we have a couple different water troughs. The water gets pretty stinky and nasty after a few days, so I've been using a drill pump to saturate the compost pile with the nutrient rich water. 

Our chickens system is inspired by Karl Hammer, Perma Pastures, and Edible Acres

 ## Permaculture Principle: Produce no waste ##
Using hay nets and cattle panel rings to reduce hay waste
https://i.nostr.build/HNA76cszFJWscLFS.jpg
Today I had to put out some fresh bales of hay for the horses and katahdin ewes which had me thinking of the permaculture principle produce no waste
https://i.nostr.build/O4rR0.jpg
Hay is the largest input at the homestead so we have an incentive to get the most out of it. The first way we do is to make sure as much of it ends up as food for the animals as possible. We do this by putting the bales in hay nets and cattle panel rings. 
https://i.nostr.build/Syxz9NjeRxJyjV5f.jpg
After the sheep have eaten the bale down and pooped/urinated all over the straw, I collect it and use it as mulch for garden beds to grow food for us. Plus any manure from the horses ends up as food for our chickens, the resulting compost to grow more food. 
https://i.nostr.build/G4GVHucd1n3WP7I5.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/G57NZjBUe0w4scv5.jpg
Even though the hay is an expensive input we get the most out of it by producing no waste. Anything that ends up as waste in one system becomes food for another until all that's left of it is soil in our garden beds.

 I will be doing more and more educational stuff here on Nostr in addition to in person at the homestead. 

You can definitely do something similar, especially with Bitcoin. The lifestyle definitely has its trade offs but there's no turning back for me.  

 Awesome! DM me to secure your seat at the class! 

 I got started trying to make my own stuff while I was living in an apartment. Sprouts grown in jars on the counter, homemade toothpaste, homebrew beer, cannabis in the closet, work compost bin under the sink. One thing sort of snowballed into the next.  

 ##### Permaculture Principle: Catch and Store Energy #####
https://i.nostr.build/xESLBtC5iD93ysOi.jpg
This pasture is an young example of the my vision for the what whole homestead will become once mature. A giant battery charged by natural energy flows. 
https://i.nostr.build/ViLxugXE0DkBOwCk.jpg
Catching energy from the sun in the form of solar panels at the yurt, but also in the form of photosynthesis in the plants.
https://i.nostr.build/BRkYZ.jpg
Strips of pasture are segmented by swales which act as a pattern for planting rows of fruit trees intermixed with other perennial plants. The rows of plants add much greater surface area for catching and storing sunlight. 
https://i.nostr.build/OxMkT0vtD1q8HfZk.jpg
Additionally, the swales, which are level ditches dug on contour of the slope, are catching and storing energy too. When grazing the sheep in-between the rows of trees, they deposit fertility which is washed down and captured by the swales depositing the energy directly at the roots of the perennials.
https://i.nostr.build/ChcMEpAyp6XiVUlH.jpg
This pasture used to be a corn/bean field that only photosynthesized from ~June-October. Now it's able to catch and store much more sunlight by integrating animals and perennial agriculture together.

 **Permaculture Principle: Creatively use and respond to change**

When I first arrived at the homestead, there was a ~2acre stand of mature woods which I didn't have any intention of using for production. I thought it would just be a nice area to enjoy. 
https://v.nostr.build/Ktdi4AM6FAuCfopY.mp4
Once I started making maple syrup, I realized there were a lot of sugar maple trees in those woods. So, I hired a forestry consultant to advise me on which trees I could sell to promote the growth of the sugar maple trees. After the logging the forest was vastly different.
https://i.nostr.build/Uo6HkymWgsJB99C2.jpg
We had the loggers make paths through the woods as they dragged the trees out which we used to create a track around the woods for our horse to run on. At the same time, so much light had opened up in the canopy that there was more growth in the understory than we could have expected. 
https://i.nostr.build/9lwn4zPsdGZsY6e3.jpg
This undergrowth was a problem, because it was obstructing the access to the sugar maple trees. At the same time I had a problem managing our rams, we were moving a handful of rams every 2-4 days same as all the ewes and lambs together. It was roughly the same work for just a few animals as the large flock. There is a permaculture saying, the problem is the solution, this rang true in this instance. I realized I could put the rams in the fenced in center of the horse track to eat down all the understory growth keeping the forest clear for collecting maple sap. 
https://i.nostr.build/mKVJPKYxlZFXxTeW.jpg
Eventually golden oyster mushrooms started fruiting from the all the stumps and tops from the logging. Now we get buckets and buckets of mushrooms from this area as well. By creativity responding to the changes from the disturbance of logging we turned this 2acre woods into an incredible useful and productive space.

 **Permaculture Principle: Observe and Interact**
Rabbits trimming cannabis buds
https://i.nostr.build/d04D.jpg
Last season, a cannabis branch broke and fell onto the ground in the rabbit colony. I noticed the rabbits did a pretty good job of eating all the fan leaves and some sugar leaves but seemed to leave the buds alone. Since it was on the ground, the buds were pretty dirty and I didn't end up doing anything with it, but I kept the observation in mind.
https://i.nostr.build/JnLUZhteGYaqyH2t.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/SD4AwHmeVAks240C.jpg
Recently a branch broke off one of the plants and was hanging tangled up with the rest. I took the opportunity to do a little test to see if the rabbits would trim the bud again. I hung the branch on the fence for several days, and to my surprise, they did an excellent job trimming!
https://i.nostr.build/KEFJHVtiuy84uA5b.jpg
Trimming the cannabis is the most labor intensive step of the cannabis production system here. I'm looking forward to using the rabbits to trim the cannabis at scale for me this year. They do the work, get a free meal, and I get the product and a free meal too! All thanks to that observation last season and a little interaction with it this season given the opportunity.

 #### Raspberries are starting to put on their fall fruit set ####
https://i.nostr.build/jwzZLx9kuZbJleGm.jpg
The flow of the fall harvest is beginning! I pruned the raspberries back pretty aggressively in the food forest this summer, so there isn't going to buckets of berries. I'll be able to pick a quick snack as I walk by throughout the day. In the meantime, the raspberries are doing their job of filling in their niche in the food forest keeping other unwanted plants from growing. Instead of weeding I get to harvest tasty berries!

 **Adding more ducks and chickens to the flock**
https://i.nostr.build/dvJP.jpg
Last fall we traded some rabbits for ducks with a neighbor and this spring the ducks started laying eggs. They spent most of the summer trying to hatch the eggs and eventually successfully produced one little duckling.
https://i.nostr.build/NVc7LvrtZpDCXlKG.jpg
After only a few days they rejected it forcing us to put it in a brooder and care for it. We bought a few more ducks to keep it company.
https://i.nostr.build/KumeFciTsG8onsZQ.jpg
Since we were now servicing the ducks in the brooder we figured it made sense to follow up the ducks with some chicks too. So we loaded our incubator.

https://i.nostr.build/Ng3Z6tT5fj4T15wB.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/8WgH6pNwKrVVAHwD.jpg
As soon as the chicks hatched the ducks were large enough to go out into the chicken compost system. We kept the chicks inside in a small brooder for about a week then moved them outside to a larger brooder. If all goes well, next spring we will have double the egg production!
