So funky and fresh!

Movin' herbs. Great satisfaction in starting from seed and also helps one grow more on a budget. On that note, does anyone have any comfrey? If so please DM! -- Comfrey and it's active ingredient allantoin are renowned being a compost 'activator' by aiding cell multiplication. It's deep roots, great for aeration,draw dense levels of NPK into the leaves. Thus the mulched leaves are great for mixing into compost for making fertilizer through a host of methods. Overall great plant to have in your garden armory. -- #CompostKin #comfrey #fpe #compost #garden #yarden #backyarden (?) #green #growth #NPK #herbs #herbalist #life #homegardening #homeopathic (at San Luis Obispo, California)

Won't see much social activity from LMR or the journal in the coming months, at least nothing of substance. Site is still live w/ link in profile! In the meantime here's what the Santa Cruz locals have to say 😀 --- #santacruz #vegan #sustainable #cannotconfirmordeny #lowimpact #gardentower #urbangarden #backyarden #foodnotlawns #local #agrarian #foodweb #CompostKin (at Santa Cruz, California)

Anyone else get a chuckle from the simplicity of planting potatoes? Here we sliced and counted them out over a fresh batch of compost. -- Tag #CompostKin to catch our attention! Ironically enough the compost page on the site isn't live as we seek new content providers 😆 -- LMR : #CompostKin #Potato #FarmersTan #agrarian #economy #naturefirst #greenlife #organicmatter #LifeMatter #simplicity #organic #california #urbanfarm #permaculture

Props to this girl who drove the 'Merc' like a champ up and over a mountain landing us in this spot last weekend 😍 (at Carrizo Plain)

Amazing what a few weeks of without rain and a reduction of hours at work can do for morale-- Se la vie. Rent to work and work to pay rent.. #bogus #nuts #garbanzo

A principle in Ayurveda is that the health of the individual is unique to that person. This so, 'doshas' help to further identify prevailing traits of each person. LifeMatter Resource holds Ayurveda with high regard due to the emphasis on whole foods and lifestyle in tune with all things borne of nature.

I feel like Everette Ruess would have liked this photo. He had an eye for beauty, made linoleum prints, and had even been acquainted with Ansel Adams. Everrette found comfort and connection in the outdoors. 

Ruess, who was no stranger to being alone in the wild, had a perspective on life that many to this day still haven’t fully adapted to. He lived his life without material luxuries, yet walked among majestic peaks rarely accessed by his contemporaries of greater societal status. 

This photo was taken deep in the Ventana National forest on a solo trip along the Big Sur Coastline. Message us for a details on how to get to this often empty site.
