Just out of curiosity but is anyone aware of a vine that looks like a muscadine vine but does not have any flowers or grapes?

We just bought a new construction on an acre. We want to eventually build the back yard up into a food forest and want to stay laying the foundation for the soil as soon as possible. There's a lot of sand from construction in the yard and underneath is a lot of grass and compacted hard ground (it was a prior field).

We have access to a lot of wood chips and different composts locally so there's no issue there. Should we start with cardboard and then top with compost and wood chips? I guess what would be the most efficient way to start amending the soil on a larger scale?

I'm after any suggestions/advice as I'm in the planning stage for retrofitting a timber framed shed (currently tin and timber clad) as a glasshouse. Wanting advice especially re suggestions for materials and where to get them, as well as pointers for installation

I want to make around 100 pounds for odor/air filteration. Which material (eg. Coconut shell, oak, bamboo) is cheapest and where do I buy it? Googling it didn't help as the results are unrelated or extremely expensive.

Surprised this guy is still kicking! It seems like there is a living and dead section, should I prune it somewhere or let it be? Going into spring

Not sure what to expect, also not sure how to find a plumber who can do it right, should I just diy?

I know the question might be too basic or too vague somehow, but I am curious what is a good way to start your own path into permaculture?

First of all, I am developing a plan to create a sustainable yoga retreat - something to mix the idea of wellness with permaculture. But I want to start slow and with low investment or progressive investments.

I am currently watching videos on YouTube and reading some books, and although the information is great, I still need to go and practice it. I was thinking to join a Permaculture Design Course live and then to go as a volunteer to a community or something that revolves around permaculture. Are other ways of learning without having a land?

I have a weird space that I would like to plant either edibles or California natives with the goal of providing shade (mainly in the summer but year round is fine). The space is 20 ft long and only about 3 ft wide. The area is in full sun and has a concrete retaining wall on one side. I thought about apples since I have quite a few different types elsewhere that have done well (coastal San Diego but pink lady and sundowner perform great for me). Any thoughts on what might work? I currently have a row of blueberries in this spot and they’ve done fine for about 2.5 years now.
