Jennifer Thompson replied to Bryce Ruddock's discussion 'Designs and e Book' in the group Perma-Curious"This is great! Thanks very much Bryce. I need to get planning. I love our state and there's still plenty of it I haven't seen. "
Jennifer Thompson replied to Calamity Jane's discussion 'Cool Temperate Climates! First Half' in the group Perma-Curious"Ahhhh. Affirmation. Thank you. I needed that. i.e. the tree planting/grass and the pruning thing. I vaguely thought those things but I needed someone else to firm it up. We got a little reprieve on the trees,…"
Jennifer Thompson replied to Bryce Ruddock's discussion 'Designs and e Book' in the group Perma-Curious"I have had a blast this week watching the water run all over my property. I slogged out there on Wednesday and started digging mini-swales in my landscape beds to stop the water from running out and forming gullies and washing so much soil…"

The house design stuff was interesting for me in that my house is 130+ years old. I don't believe the insulation is all that great any…"

Jennifer Thompson replied to Calamity Jane's discussion 'earthworks' in the group Perma-Curious"I found this chapter to be enjoyable (and not so intense!).
My parents built a new house about 5 years ago on a site that had been a pasture for years and years, then was left to become very overgrown. When they were ready to build,…"

Jennifer Thompson replied to Calamity Jane's discussion 'Soils, second half' in the group Perma-Curious"I'm game to do more reading for sure. Academics? No problem. Application? More complicated. Ha!
One correction: I just realized the soils museum exhibit I mentioned wasn't in Milwaukee, it was…"
Jennifer Thompson replied to Calamity Jane's discussion 'Soils, second half' in the group Perma-Curious"Seems a little late for the industry to redirect itself away from its current path, doesn't it?

Jennifer said… Hi, Jennifer. Welcome to HOMEGROWN! My name is Jennifer, too, and I'm the flock tender here (site updater and tweaker, feeder and waterer of content). I’m so glad you made your way back to us—and just in time to join Perma-Curious! Seems like that group is going to be a fabulous, if serious, undertaking. Elsewhere on HOMEGROWN, you can always find the latest additions to the site at the top of the homepage, and if you’ve ever got questions, please don't hesitate to leave a comment on my profile page or shoot me a message. I hope you feel right at home! And please drink a Capital for me! After more than a decade in Chicago, I moved to New England earlier this year, and while I love it here, I do miss all of my Midwest beers!
