The Power of Permaculture
This is the story of systems design and permaculture in the service of sustainability on an urban farm. This collage of images showcases 7 years of successful permaculture that transformed 30 cut stems of hydrangea, and 36 cut branches into the hornbeam allee that exists at Mezzacello Urban Farm today. This is the power of permaculture.

Sustainability is an important topic right now. We need more of it, and better metrics to define what "it" is.

The Evolution of the House
This house has a history! 160+ years of history is not getting fixed in just one season. But we love her and she loves us back.
Why I Use The Metric System at Mezzacello
Yeah. That's a real map. The United States of America, Liberia in Africa, and the pseudo-Communist state of Myanmar (Formerly Burma). That's it. 190 other nations around the world, and the area of Low-Earth orbit, the moon, Mars and every probe ever sent out into Space (with the exception of the NASA Mars Probe Mars Polar Orbiter (MPO)) use the Metric System. You should all learn from the fate of the MPO.
The Harvest Relay
Once again we are up against the gun at harvest time. After the disaster of last year, I am hoping for better systems and better results.
