I just cut back the Mexican sunflower next to my pottery studio.

I’ve mixed the sunflower mulch with sawdust from a local wood shop that uses untreated wood. We also add Starbucks used coffee grinds in there (they’ll save them for you to pick up in the evening), our kitchen scraps plus bone & wood ash (I save our bones and burn them in our fireplace.)
All of this does not produce enough in terms of amount or nutrition to feed our garden. IMO, this makes my attempts at #permaculture feel more like a hobby than an actual environmental solution. #gardening
@PermaSolarPotter This is what I learned about being sustainable. As a small household, it's impossible to generate enough compost to support my plants. I buy organic fertilizer. I read your previous posts on the topic. I agree with you 100%.

@PermaSolarPotter Yes, one of the best things I read in a permaculture book was that nature doesn’t grow food without large herbivores somewhere around. Since that sunk in, I use compost just to keep from depleting soil carbon.

@Virginicus Do you remember which book?

@PermaSolarPotter (rummage, rummage, rummage) John Seymour’s “The Self-sufficient Life” is almost it. But not quite; my memory ain’t what it used to be. Beginning of Chapter 9. https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Self_Sufficient_Life_and_How_to_Live.html

@Virginicus Thanks so much!

#compost #gardening #permacultureI turned the pile this morning. This is my first time #composting in place and I’m very happy with where this is going. The soil underneath the pile is magnificent. In a region with sandy soil, this is such an important #gardening epiphany for me. My soil struggles were extremely educational. I decided to try this method after reading Toby Hemenway’s Gaia’s Garden, however I don’t think I’m doing the exact method he described. It’s more about the concept than exact technique.

@PermaSolarPotter awesome! I'm using the exact same approach. And right now I'm also reading Gaia's Garden 😄 . Happy gardening!

@stefano_zan @filippodb @emanuelegori @attualita @thegib dunque l'immagine di Trump per mano al pinguino solitario significherebbe che i due stanno dirigendosi verso la loro fine in un inconscio impulso di autodistruzione. Corretto?

@fucinafibonacci @giochi sono di sinistra, e mi piace giovare a Crusader King II, come Civilization e compagnia. Questo articolo del post è fatto male, come se la colpa fosse di paradox o del gioco e non di quelle teste bacate che si radicalizzerebbero in ogni modo.
Poi non ci gioco da un po', ma mi pare di ricordare che puoi prendere il controllo anche di una casata islamica e difenderti dagli europei.
Sicuro si potevano fare unioni miste ed allearsi con i saraceni.

I'm after some advice from folk that use #Git . I have my own self hosted Git server and I have one repository that I'd like to empty of all content and history. I know I can just delete the remote repository and recreate it again starting a fresh. But would using git push --force <remote> <branch> not just do the same by overwriting the remote repository with the locals contents ? Or could I end up with files in the remote that are not in my local ???
I should also say that I am the only person that pushes to this remote repo too. Any help or advice is very much appreciated and thank you.
