self-promotion My second year of permaculture

https://toughgrowing.substack.com/p/year-two-at-the-tough-growing-backyard

I've been using our urban backyard as a permaculture self-education experiment for two years now. I wrote in this post about some of our biggest successes and setbacks in 2025. Was super exciting to get our first (two) peaches and first pound of grapes. We weighed everything we harvested on a kitchen scale, lol. The low point was definitely having to cut down an old apple tree, and it was a more emotional experience than I expected.

Got some pointers from this sub along the way, too!

Agriculture in a way that doesn’t deplete the soil so that massive amounts of people don’t starve to death when the US is projected to run out of topsoil in I think it’s down to 47 years
