I am a Zone 3 gardener who loves <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>permaculture</span></a> , planting trees, and trying to grow food forests. I love <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/BuildingScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BuildingScience</span></a> and learning how to fix or improve my house. Lately I have been getting into passive house design, insulation, and <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/resilience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>resilience</span></a> - reducing our house energy use, conserving water with rain barrels, etc.</p><p>I'm a fan of <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Homesteading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Homesteading</span></a> but also <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/GoodUrbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoodUrbanism</span></a> - constructing buildings with local materials and traditional techniques so they can be cheaper, last longer, be more resilient, and better for the planet. For example <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/RammedEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RammedEarth</span></a> walls and thatch roofs.
