Hi all! Quick #introduction to pin. Been on masto since 2022, opened this account to focus on #HamRadio / #AmateurRadio. Studying for my Technicians license and creeping on the air to learn the ways of this very cool new world (and all your many many abbreviations lol). I’ve got an HT for the local mountaintop repeaters and a CC Skywave SSB for HF. I love it all so much. I grin every time I find a signal. Interests also include #TreeCrops, communitarian preparedness and other #collapse stuff.
#Coppice? What's that?
Learn all about creating a multi-functional polewood economy with Mark Krawczyk. #permaculture #agroforestry #polyculture #woodlot #TreeCrops #video #trees #fodder #fuel #fungi #furniture #fencing #baskets

Fifteen years ago I planted my first pecans, two grafted trees of cultivars said to be hardy. Both the trees died during their first winter but did send up suckers. I made one more attempt at planting different hardy cultivars but lost those as well. Not giving up on pecans I started to plant seedlings and the majority have proven to be winter hardy, my two oldest trees are growing nicely. #TreeCrops
There are many great things that take place when we plant trees and shrubs. As you and I plant them we are part of slowing and possibly reversing global warming and at the same time we are providing shelter and sources of food for wildlife. When we plant fruit and nut trees called #TreeCrops we are establishing a source of food for humans which plays a role in achieving food security.
Here is a three year old Prunus mahaleb just planted which I grew from seed and plum rootstock that I will use for grafting next spring. #TreeCrops #Permaculture
@KorimakoEcology I'm planting on four different properties, over 400 acres (Vermont and Pernambuco, Brazil). Planting natives along riparian areas, #TreeCrops on boundary lines, restoring #ClayplainForest on former pastures and creating hedgerows to create wildlife corridors. So my plantings are here and there. More pictures to follow.
