Respect for your willow cordage!
A mate of mine used to fill up his greenhouse with piles of leaves in autumn. Interestingly they were sufficient to create a microclimate that made the difference. As for the "post that shows the finished work" ... hehehe, do you think you'll ever get there? I hope you won't, because what else could you show us afterwards?
How long are you planing to stay on the land this year?

Haha, yeah nothing is ever really finished. I just hope I can have a warmer winter with some fresh stuff to eat. I plan on staying till spring, though sometimes when I'm excited about what I'm doing I start thinking I'm never going to leave this place hahaha. But I have a countdown going on and there's 212 days left on it
Nice! Making it through one Winter means you could make it indefinitely. But what is that countdown about?
Yeah, I already made it through two winters here and in much worse conditions, so I can go and on. I placed the countdown because when we broke up with my partner I really wanted to run away from here, yet I didn't want to leave things a mess so that was was the time I had to recycle as much as possible and build fences. I was really depressed and my only goal was to lift a fence post daily but as I begin to heal I started doing more and more things again.
Now the only thing that keeps the idea that I should leave is the hopes of meeting more like minded people and either join their community or bring them here, whatever is best. Living here surrounded by people with whom I don't feel aligned makes me feel a bit trapped and crazy.
Yeah, having good neighbors is vital, not only out on the land but anywhere. It's good to hear that you've been through several winters, and your dedication not to leave a mess behind you is very admirable. So I am quite confidant you are going to get the ideal community that you fit perfectly into (and I believe Hive helps there as well). As I said, I would love to visit, but I'm nowhere near. But I wish you all the best for the... well, before Winter there is still Fall! :-)
Yes, and fall is a wonderful time of abundance here! Maybe I'll visit you one day! I'm really intrigued by Mexico and the native cultures there so it's one of the places I've always thought of visiting. Stay blessed my friend, wish you the best too
