Adventure from your armchair.Twenty years ago, I set off on the greatest journey of my youthful life. Twelve months sketching nature on three continents...next to no contact with folks back home. No wonder my strongest memory of that year is loneliness so profound I sometimes cried myself to sleep within the thin walls of my tent.Fast forward ahead to April 2020 when eco-adventures had become a normal facet of my life. I was itching to explore new habitats, yet a pandemic made hopping in the car and camping an hour from home a dicey proposition.Instead of taking a boots-on-the-ground vacation, I spread my twenty-year-old sketchbooks, journals, and photo albums across the floor. Tearing out and discarding angst, I layered moments of beauty three pages deep.I hope you enjoy your own armchair adventure through the result. Stay safe as we weather this global storm together!Volume 1 covers my travels through England and Scotland in 32 densely illustrated pages.

Homegrown humus is easy with cover crops! Cover crops are a simple, cheap way to boost your soil's organic matter, to fight weeds, to prevent erosion, to attract pollinators, and to keep the ecosystem in balance. Unfortunately, most information on growing cover crops is written for people who plow their soil every year and are willing to spray herbicides. You can get all of the same benefits in a no-till garden, though, if you're clever. Homegrown Humus details five no-till winners in depth --- buckwheat, sweet potatoes, oilseed radishes, rye, and oats. Profiles of other species suggest gardening conditions when you might want to try out sunflowers, annual ryegrass, barley, Austrian winter peas, crimson clover, cowpeas, or sunn hemp as well. Meanwhile, the book delves into finding cover-crop seeds, planting cover crops in a no-till garden, and easily killing cover crops without tilling or herbicide use. Understanding the C: N ratio of cover crops helps determine how long to wait between killing cover crops and planting vegetables, as well as how to maximize the amount of humus you're adding to your soil. Cover crops are an advanced gardening technique bound to increase your vegetable yields, but are simple enough for beginners. Give your garden a treat --- grow some buckwheat! This second edition is updated with three new chapters and contains a total of 54 photos.
