Hello @steepshot community and Steem Blockchain. I’m out spreading wood chips today around our 105 fruit trees and along our winding pathways in our 1/4 acre food forest here in Southern Utah. Wood chips grow trees!!! Well...they grow the fungi and bacteria that create the soil that grow happy trees and plants. In this series of photos you can see how the chips create a nice dark layer around the trees. Layering as a top layer and not mixing it into the existing soil, just layers like lasagna. :) we collect the chips from a local tree grinding place the pulverizes local trees and landscape haul off into fresh wood chips! Trees growing trees!!! Please check out the @dtube video we posted this morning showing my son and getting a load of chips to bring it home and spread! You can view it here: https://steemit.com/dtubesnap/@rawutah/wqcd2r0p

Lol we are still out spreading and the sun is going down soon...but it feels grrrrreat!! Stackin wood chips feels like stackin steem and powering it up! The feeling of freedom!!! I love doing it with my family...and sharing it with all of you! So many of us can do this and hack/modify our urban terrains to provide abundance for us and others! We testify!!! :)

Cheers to our freedoms steepshot and steem blockchain! We appreciate all of you!!

Jake and the Raw Utah family

Gotta love them chips! I'm a little jealous of you pile... You make growing fruit look easy!

Can't source any chips around here (who woulda thunk) but will hopefully get a chipper on site this winter.

Always an inspiration brother.

awww...i love ya'll so much!!!! praying ya'll find a chipper this winter. you have soooooo much wood....you could chip up eh?!!! :) YOU..my friends...are INSPIRATIONS!!!!!!

I'm really sorry to bring you news like this :(

Just today we lost delegation from our main supporter (1 000 000 SP) so that is the reason why Tribe didn't upvote (I didn't realize until now).

I'm really sad about it man... especially cause we just boarded you here with us :(

What more can I say brother, I do know everything is exactly how it should be. Lets see what the future present moments will bring, and trust the Youniverse

This is a big shock for many in the Tribe... No one expected that but obviously it happened for a reason

Need to get above the feelings of sadness that my body feels and not identify with it. 1 more time, I'm really sad you just joined us and this happened... but that is life brother

We'll find new ways to hustle I guess

Peace and light brother <3

i totally feel ya bro!!!! all good in the hood! i enjoy it when times like these arrive...and just LOVE standing next to the tribe....regardless of whale delegation from jamesc. hey...i can see you are on trevon's trail. do you like it? i may delegate there...or to the tribe if they start something with delegations. oh man they could build a trail as huge as trevon's man!!! @elamental just posted this: good stuff! i love you ALL! https://steemit.com/tribesteemup/@elamental/xfyl3k35

We should talk about this on Discord! You want me to come now?

Peace :)

just saw this bro...i'll head in there. leave me a private message there? lol still so new to that place. :)

Fungal heaven!!
❤️🖕😍

Nice pitchfork. Never seen one with that many tines and a shovel/spoon shape.

I love the smell of fresh woodchips and also fall leaves. It is sweet an aromatic. This pile looks very brown, shredded, and decomposed already. Nice resource you have, and a supportive family that lets you play in the dirt.

hey thanks brother....you KNOW!!!! :) that sweet aromatic...is just mmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!! yah bro....this source...is INSANE! they crush the chips twice to get this finer material. it sure breaks down beautifully. hey bro, have you ever seen the doc "man named pearl?" if not check that out!!!!!! i think of your bonsai...and craft when...i think of his topiaries..and dedication to his art. a beautiful film!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think about this guy every time I grab my old hedge shears. He is very unorthodox and tears it up the electric hedge trimmer. It isn't as easy as he makes it look.

lol..oh man..i've never seen a pitchfork like it either. i was helping someone move...and it was out in their shed. it had been there for decades. it's soooo heavy lol!!!! but this thing...is a TANK! they don't build em like this anymore!

That looks so yummy for microbes and fungi :) I've recently set up a steepshot account for Permaculture inspired posts, happy gardening.

the 4th picture should be the main picture! it's got the good framing with the wheelbarel and the trees, use that image

NICE!!! thanks so much for that feedback! just changed it. i really appreciate it...lol..i pondered that for awhile.

@enjoyinglife man it sounds like you're begging or something I dunno like this is about his garden and you're like posting unrelated steem finance drama I dunno but wait.... 1 million SP? You just lost 1 million SP? can I guess that Ned was the one who gave you that and now hes like all of the sudden cutting everyone off just because he gave out all these resources on a whim to random people who just showed up... I feel like Ned could do so much and all the whales could do so much and they are teetering on ruin like serious ruin... were all gonna get wrecked and scrapped if we dont slap some sense into ned and really buckle up, hes not listening to anyone so you gotta play this shit like a video game... ned may listen if you hold a carrot over him and women are that carrot, and I've asked women and they dont want ned they dont like him, hes not having any fun and so why would anyone wanna hangout with ned when he never puts on any parties when hes supposedly sitting on hundred million dollar fortune, and u know how parties run the planet it's how people meet in real life and seed business ideas, and theres a lot of crazy shit going down up towards the top, the elite with their control of TV And big internet basically have a sort of time travel and men in black memory guns on our minds so the plebs are fuuuucked lol it's basically neofuedal already in a lot of ways, this is like phase 5 guys, Johnny Carson tried to warn us guys... I'm telling ya, the keys to a massive fortune are hidden in plain sight... ned is a frat boy and he needs tradition and hazing... just look at steem like a massive fraternity...

105 trees on a quarter acre?!!!!

Wow! That's a lot of life! A real forest of food :D
