12 yrs ago at or little off grid cottage in the bush we had 42C for 3 days and nearly all our veg died. A real wake up call
2 years after that we had drought and large foreest fires all around, another wake up call and 12months after that, mega fires that took out 82 properties in our local area (not ours, it was better prepared) and the soul of the village with it, the final bell tolled.
We have since moved to a much colder place with zero fire or flood risk, superb soil and rainfalk (so far) much closer to the pole. We deal with the cold with a hothouse made of mostly reclaimed materials and expect the area to get warmer as the years roll on with the continual ignoring of emissions by voters and governments the world over, ironically we have cold spell right now :) coldest in many many years!
Deciduous leaves and the neighbors cow poop (he agists 4 on his small acerage to control the grass) provides lots of compost additives, the ladies with an animal rescue down the road take all the fallen apples (10 highly productive trees) we can give her (excess to our eating, preserving and compost use and gifiting away) and has endless animial poop as well (horse, goat, alpacha etc) lots of easy shoveling :)
There's only so much sunk cost fallacy you should endure, don't ignore natures messages Be safe and stay sane, keeping up the great work here!!
