Fire Pit Project






Hey everyone,

I want to first thank two friends, Michael and Ms.Cine' for inspiring me to do this project. I was able to see a beautiful fire pit on Ms. Cine' property and because Michael suggested I fill in my low spot on my garden plot. I decided to use the soil I was digging out to fill in. One project but two uses. To remind everyone I am using some Permaculture principles:
(1) Each element performs multiple functions
(2) Turn problems into solutions

You see the fire pit project helped our fall garden with very rich and full of life(earthworms)soil. Thanks to the both of you for being truly sustainable farmers.

Our Vegetable Garden is Producing :-)






Hey everyone,

I am so proud of myself and my son for taking the initiative to start a vegetable garden. It is very important to learn how to truly be a sustainable farm so I am elated in the outcome. Of course, we have much more to learn but the work put into it this year will just be multiplied for years to come. I would like to thank everyone that gave me transplants for my garden. You definitely know who you are. Thanks so much for caring about us enough to give a helping hand. I would like to express to everyone please start a garden it will benefit you and your family forever. The importance of connecting to nature and the benefits of producing your own food. Remember: You can garden year around and August is the time to plant for your fall garden. Grab an almanac and get started. Here are a few pictures of our gardens. Enjoy!
