If you can afford it, you should definetly think about adding a pond to your homestead. Although it might attract mosquitos during the summer (a counter-measure would be adding fish and frogs to eat the eggs), it improves the micro-biome drastically. Bees will come and drink, as will birds. When birds have the possibility to drink, chances decrease that they will eat your fruit or berries, as they satisfy their need for hydration from the pond water. The pond also is a nice temperature equalizer which is accepted by many other useful microfauna. #homesteading @EuropeanTribalism

Plant Identification: A Practical Approach Using "Newcomb's Method" Identifying plants using Newcomb's Method involves looking at the flower type, the plant/branching type, and the leaf type. This system uses a series of questions to guide you towards species identification. The questions are as follows: For the flower type: Is the flower regular (radially symmetrical - which means symmetrical in any way it can be divided across the center, like a sunflower) (most flowers fall into this category); or is the flower irregular (only symmetrical when divided one way, such as a mint or pea flower); or are the flower parts indistinguishable (too small to see)? If regular, how many petals or similar parts does it have? For the plant/branching type: Is the plant a wildflower, or a woody shrub or vine? If a wildflower, is it without leaves; or if it has leaves, are they all at the base of the plant (basal); or are they arranged singly on the stem (alternate); or are they opposite one another in pairs or whorls (whorled means many leaves coming off in different directions from the same area of the stem, like cleavers)? For the leaf type: Are the leaves entire (smooth-edged), or are they toothed, or lobed (split into sections), or divided (separated into leaflets off the same stem)? 🔗Learn More About Newcomb's Method #Bushcraft#Homesteading Join @EvolvedTruth🌱
