RE: Reflections: Permaculture, Food Forests, and "Back to Eden!"
Yes, excellent point @abitcoinskeptic, although I have learned that there are "universal" concepts associated with this new way of looking at gardening, which I can learn from wherever they are being practiced. As an example, I think the videos of @gardeningchannel are hard to beat ..
That said, I have made an effort to find similar content linked to my growing zone. The closest I have come, so far, is an Institute way up in the Rocky Mountains, which takes me from one extreme to the other. Very impressive to see what this group did to overcome the limitations of trying to grow everything in abundance at those altitudes (like build a 6-figure USD greenhouse, which all the latest energy sources ...), but ... Not realistic for every day needs.
Back to @gardeningchannel, he stresses just getting "out there," observing carefully, try things, then adjust as your "journey" progresses. Great advice, from my perspective ...
From all I understand, the Koreans have valid reasons for concern. If not familiar with this account, I would encourage you to read this post from a Steemian who produces excellent content. This one is on this subject.
Here, closer to home, I am not so concerned in our little town out West. At least for the moment. However ... We leave Thursday for Chicago, one of the busiest airports on the planet, to attend a graduation ceremony for a family member ...
And ... Our stock market has tanked dramatically in just the last two days. Taking a significant chunk of my retirement funds with it. Having long read that the so-called "smart money" supposedly knows in advance about things the "little" people [like me ...] don't, it is another indicator this is serious.
Given how highly contagious this virus is reported to be, I wouldn't imagine we have long to find out.
That looks like a great channel and his stuff doesn't look way over priced either (some Korean company won an award at CES for the most expensive indoor hydroponics systems I've ever seen).
The situation is getting worse here. It's still far, far below the problems in China. However, Korea is bringing back 700 people from Wuhan area (they'll even take people who have the flu) and anyone living near the quarantine centers for those people are understandably upset.
We also had the stock market tank, although I would expect this to be mostly short term movement by the regular speculators. I think your money will be fine within a couple of months when the virus runs its course. People are being extra vigilant now.
Let's hope for the best which would be ending with a whimper.
