Hello hi

[bumblebeeappletree]

On a 1/3rd acre urban lot in Corvallis, Oregon, horticulture professor and youtuber Andrew Millison has spent the past 12 years turning a grassy yard into a high-yielding microfarm with more than enough produce, eggs and honey to feed his family.

Every corner of his front, back, and side yard is covered with fruits, vegetables, cover crops, bee hives, chicken coops, grey water treatment plants, and even a bamboo forest that supplies garden fencing.

He intentionally planted fruit all along the perimeter of his corner lot to feed the neighborhood, as well as plenty of native flowers to encourage pollinators.

Millison, who teaches online permaculture courses at Oregon State, turned an old shed on the property into his home office so he can now take breaks to tend his garden while working:

“For me, it's the perfect relationship between work and garden because I'll be sitting here and I'll think the chickens are being really loud, and I’ll go and see they're out of food or I'll hear the humming of the bees and suddenly be like ‘oh my god my bees are swarming.’ I feel like my work and play relationship is very nice.”

The OSU Food Hero Challenge is officially underway here. Today I started a brand new mini greenhouse with a tray of zinnia, a tray of marigolds, two 6 six cells of kale, two 6 cells of lettuce, three 6 cells of basil, and one 6 cell of beefsteak tomatoes. We'll see what happens!

New birds dropped! 11 chickens and 2 ducks

They're still getting used to being in a safe dry space that's bigger than what they had but they're eating and drinking
