Wood is still in a pile.

I'm a testament that a timber frame project can take many years. Mine is a small project but is taking a back seat to trying to create a Homestead Farm due basically to my disillusionment with government, the financial instruction and world events, not to mention the job.  I would like to retire in 5 years and basically live off the farm. This is taking quite some time. First I wanted to get the trees in the ground. I planted many nut trees along with just about every fruit I could think of. I've made 2 herb spirals and and beds for vegetables (lasagna  style), which is described in Gaia's Garden book. I've made a Compost Tea bin for table scraps with red wigglers and still need to make a compost bin. We live on a small ridge so I have built swells on contour to push the water into the ground and also divert the excess to a low spot for a future woodland pond for wildlife.  I am currently finishing my tractor shed which will be used to cover my timbers so that I can get them out from under the blue tarp in the yard with ever increasing in size holes.

Here is a really neat idea. This is an herb spiral. It is best located close to the kitchen. Really neat idea from Gaia's Garden book. Probably the best garden book, in my opinion.
