I am a co-field coordinator at Ecology Action. I love riding bikes and growing soil. This blog is dedicated to sharing on how to improve doing both.

Mr. #burbank was #dank. Many of the #ganjagrowers in the #emeraldtriangle wish he had #breeded some super #headystrains, actually most weed growers along with most #americans have #noclue who this mans has. But people know who mr #Ford and #Edison are. #antinotgardening is my new branding........ #gardenordie oh and hey overpaid software industry dorks - eat microchips. All you make is pollution and feed addictive behavior. Life would actually be cooler with out clocks alarms computers cars. Etc. call me a hypocritical Luddite - and I will ask us all to take a look at how we interface with our devices and our parallels with #crackheads Anyways most crack heads are better people than most CEO's and #investmentbankers....

#companionplanting #cosmos with #corn The cosmos will attract the corn ear worm to it instead of the corn! Also there are pinto beans interplanted the corn. corn evolved by hands, wood and stone Whereas the other grains evolved along draft animals and steel. This makes corn better suited for #smallscale #agriculture Also corn yields more #biomass for building #compost as well as edible grain per unit of area than most the other grain crops. Culinarily speaking it is more diverse from baby corn to sweet corn to the corn meals and popcorn. Popcorn has an ability to not uptake pollen from other corns. Which is especially important for keeping GE contamination out of your diet and popcorn can be milled and used for polenta and other dishes besides popcorn. Corn lacks tryptophan and its niacin is bound up and can not be released from the acids of the human gut. It needs a strong alkaline environment to be freed. The body can create its own niacin in the liver but this requires tryptophan. If you're not preparing your corn with cal, lime or ash then make sure your diet has good sources of niacin and tryptophan. #growfood #growbiointensive #ecologyaction #completedietfarming #growsoil

My two favorite birthday gifts. A #meditation cushion #weaved by my friend @meglehinger and stuffed with warp ends and a #book by another #bartolini that is out of print and about #bicycles from my wife @paradigmseed. #readbooks #meditate #thanks

My wife @paradigmseed and I got to go #backpacking for five days for my #birthday! We took it easy the day I turned 38 and did a short hike up to another lake and I also got to do a #trailrun on some fun rocks and boulders! I love backpacking but have always thought "this would be so much fun on a #bicycle"! #trinityalps (at Trinity Alps, California)

My trusty #bicycle fell down while I was riding it. I lucky carry a spare #derailleur hanger. Got 4 flats today! Made it to the ocean and my wonderful wife met me at the redwoods because we are #romatic especially when #mosquitoes are involved! Stop by the #victorygardensforpeace to see the work of my fellow colleagues at their #researchgarden. Only 6.5 hours on the #bike. I could have used more but really pushed the last 2.5 hours! Little cooler today, Sunday I rode for 2.5 hours in 105 to 107 degrees. My wife @paradigmseed is really brave and rode in the heat for half of the days mileage, most people would avoid the heat. I am lucky my wife is badass #growsoil #closedloopsystems are the way we want to garden, #ecologyaction #growbiointensive method is the closest to sustainable I have seen or heard about. Lucky to work as an #aprentice for them. #bicycles and #gardens are tools for #responsible #humans. How many #adventurecycling affectionatoes have a background in #wildernesssurvival or #ethnobotany or #naturalism I even use my #tracking #skills on rides. #thanks to @alderleafwildernesscollege in helping me becoming a more well rounded person and work towards figuring out what it really means to be a #steward #mendorandonneur #regenerativeagriculture #getstrong #getsmart #endurance #catlovers I saw a #bobcat today

No one is reporting this and nobody talks about this but we are in mid stride while running off a cliff. If we don't have #farmable #soil then we won't be able to #ridebikes or #ski or #havefun By us humans giving our personal #responsibility to the #corporations we have made the conditions for human life on #earth deteriorate but there is a #solution practice #growbiointensive check out #ecologyaction. Empower people and help end#starvation If you are not #growingsoil then you are not practicing #regenerativeagriculture

My #mtb is getting some love ❤️ I have been neglecting it for sometime now. I have some big #adventures rolling around in my mind! I work for a nonprofit that teaches people how to grow a complete diet in the smallest area possible while growing soil and using minimal resources. We also do research and work for minimal pay 💰. If you wish to help #support a #farmer #teacher #athlete feel free to message me. I hope to bring more awareness to the state of our soil. Less than 60 years of farmable soil left if we keep heading in the same direction. This information is out there #scientificamerican and #time have covered this. This issue is so important that I have chose to #dedicate my life to the work of spreading #regenerativeagriculture and make in a year what I use to make in 7 weeks! #sustainability #bikepacking #cycling #growingfood #empowerpeople #garden #cyclocross #bicycle #hopeforhumanity #havefun

The #cows #scared me so I took off down a trailless slope in search of safety only to have to scale this fence, I am going to miss this #bicycle it's stuck and I ain't going near them cows again! They mooed at me. I am pretty sure that means they're going to attack!

#cyclingtips: the ST-MB 29 makes a great stand to hold your #bicycle upright! It also provides seating for removing grass #seeds out of your #fancy socks after performing a #giro style Tom Dumoilin.😐. Turns out that the #kingsnake is my #spiritanimal. Also stopped at 100 kilometers in to have a #baker style #turnandburn which made for a #dreamy #decent. Almost 7 1/2 hours in the #saddle. #mendorandonneur #traing for #cyclocross My turn around was at a #ranger station so I could pick up a few maps to plan some #epicadventures #onelesscar! Here is what I carry. The bear spray is for #methheads and #rabiddogs Wierd people here in #norcal not like our #pnw weirdos I spent enough time #pedaling to #race 11 B class races. My whole season! #ridebikes 🚴🏽🚵🏿😊🐍

#transplanting #spinach and #lettuce Transplanting leads to better yields. To learn more take a workshop on #growbiointensive through #ecologyaction Look them up on the interweb! #growingfood #ridebikes

Thanks to @compasscycle for the wonderful #tires! Barlow Pass is a very special place to me. My first 100+ mile ride's turn around spot! Also starting in the summer after 2nd grade 1989 my uncle would take me backpacking from Barlow Pass to places like Silvertip Peak almost summited but I was a little cry baby and was sacred but made it up Gothic Peak the next year. All these were on my bmx bike and my uncle would carry both our packs on his bike and tow me with a rope up any hills. I have great memories of the area so thanks for naming a tire after it. There is nothing better then finishing a backpacking trip with a bike ride.
