    Boomers. The selfish generation.

    Ok, Boomer. I have appointed myself as a spokesperson for my guys, Generation X. You were our parents. We were born between ’65 and ’80. I was there and saw what you did. I am still seeing it with my own two eyes. Credit goes to Phil Collins, Boomer. We all have our mommy and daddy issues passed on from the previous generation. More on that later. I certainly have a few things to say as a first-hand witness to your mischief and self-interested endeavors. Now please understand that this is a general commentary and not specific to any particular Karen or Kevin. I truly hope that you don’t contact…

    Tywiggle on Youtube

    Hello friends. A new chapter has started in our life here on the Wiggle homestead. We finally got real internet installed after waiting for many years. This opens the opportunity of sharing my voice by video. The old internet might have uploaded at 1mb and now we are uploading a nearly 100mb. An upload that would have taken all night and been paused for errors now takes just a few frustration free minutes to be completed. Hello world! Carrie and I have been talking about what we want for our future selves and how to perhaps achieve that. In all of our knowledge seeking and solutions based approaches to what…

    Not A Holy War

    No. No. No. It is not a holy war. It is an unholy war. A banker’s war. Profiteer war. They play chess while your sons and innocent civilians bleed out on the checkers board. This war is not justified. It was started with a false flag by a wicked government sacrificing it’s own citizens. Mere checkers of citizens. There are humans on both sides of the board. Good humans. Humans with awesome capacity to take after our Father. Remove the hate from your heart. Keep the thoughts of murder far from you. Mind your own gates. Do not believe what they are feeding you. Wars are contrivances of your controllers. Do…

    End the Idolatry!

    Until the idolatry of the major religions ends, the good promises given in the Scriptures will remain unfulfilled. The only promises that will remain are the bad promises that were already heaped upon Israel. The lessons remain unlearned. Unfortunately, very little, if anything, has changed. Those that would be a nation of priests are still whoring after the modern iterations of Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz. Every Christmas and Easter even the most casual believers join right in on the worship. Every First Day they gather under the steeple of Ba’al’s phallus. The rulers place the same phallus in the national town square. The idolatries can be witnessed at the nearest…

    Independence Day? Land of the Free?

    Hardly. It never was free. Everyone is too busy serving their money god from Kindergarten to grave. Dog eat dog. Climb the ladder. More money more money more money. Vote for freedom. Wait for Jesus to fix it. Work for the banker’s currency so they can have their infinite hot checks to write. Give me a break. I am just tired of it.

    Soylent Green in 2022

    Served at your local fast-food restaurant and major grocery retailer. Really. I will not buy at Wally World but do buy at Aldi. I do hope that isn’t a mistake. I would not trust a single national chain fast food restaurant that much is certain. After this January I will never need to buy packaged beef again. I’ll be growing and packaging my own into the foreseeable future.

    Unique Keyhole Beds Video

    In today’s video we show part of our zone 7 garden design, inspired by keyhole beds, and also go into more detail as to why we recommend Rototilling as permaculturists. Included are some tips for bringing in pollinators, and our favorite tools and machinery for being the most efficient without causing harm to the land. Along with that, we discuss our method with using weeds, or wild edibles, as cover crops.

    Propane Flame Thrower Weed Control Video

    Clearing the weeds out of our gravel parking lot for the Homestead Stand. Using a propane torch is an easy and more natural choice to kill weeds. No pesticides required. No weed eating required. Burning broom sedge is a good way to add bio-char (charcoal) to low humus soil. It seems nature has been designed to heal itself. Broom sedge has no grazing value so it grows in large dry stands on the thin soils of ridges and overused land in Virginia. It sits there just waiting for a ignition source. This is a rugged pioneer plant than is early on the ladder of natural succession back to forest. Any…

    Naughty Hens, Securing our Stand Video

    In this daily update video, we secure the border of our Homestead Stand and the surrounding gates and fences to keep our chickens from wandering out into the road. Alongside that maintenance, we’re planning to move dirt from our aged manure pile to build up beds in order to plant potatoes and comfrey.
