Goooooood Morning SuperForest!
Tomorrow I am getting on a plane to Kauai to begin the Zero One chapter of my life. I’m so very excited about the many thrilling possibilities! Currently, two friends (Mea and Justin) are living on the land at Zero One in a state of PATO.
I just received this email from Justin:
“My Bros!!!
Just wanted to send you some deep ALOHA and I can’t wait to see you on
the islands whenever you land!!!Mea and I are just holdin’ it down here at Zero One. finally feel
settled in these last days. mostly just been walking around the land,
studying where the sun hits, wind blows, water gathers, etc.
Just feeling it out and listening.
wow…the potential here is out of control, it’s like a blank canvas.
WITH COCONUTS!!!!! i love all the trees and palms…it’s like all the
biggies are already established and now we can just paint in the rest.
i really couldn’t imagine a more ideal space to grow…it seems like the
only thing limiting us will be our own imaginations!!!we got 2 bikes through craigslist yesterday, and a good blender. we
brought the best juicer-processor ever from NZ, so we’re totally in
business as far as the food creations now.
mea made a raw keylime pie yesterday with coconut meat and those
delicious limes that keep falling from the tree. so damn sweet and
FRESH. harvested a ton of bananas, as one of the neighbors has so many
they’re just going to the chickens. kauai and all her crazy chickens!
looks like some oranges are coming in soon. avos too!!a gecko just climbed across the wall, gotta love that.
bought a cacao pod at the farmers market and we’re sprouting the seeds
now. i figure you guys will probably be down with planting some
chocolate trees?
also got a bunch of keikes that have already popped up from the seeds we
brought with us, in their little seed trays….cucumber, tomato,
cabbage, basil, spinach, lots of kale….just the first round. they’ll
probably be ready to go in the ground in about a month or so, which is
perfect, as in the meantime I imagine we’ll have all sussed out the
right spot and plenty of time to create the beds.we visited this farm right down the road a few days ago and made an
amazing connection. a young couple that has a HUGE sustainable
operation going there with the most beautiful giant circular gardens.
it was so inspiring. i’m gonna be visiting them again soon and already
i know they’re going to be some righteous friends and consultants, as
they truly know what is up here in Kilauea, what works, what doesn’t,
etc…and their permaculture design looks right on.what else? oh, have either of you studying anything about structured
water?? i’ve been playing around with it for awhile now, and recently
friends keep sending me these links for this water filter that would
structure the water coming out of the water main, or you can even get
one just for the garden hose. its no moving parts, nothing to replace
ever, just uses sacred geometry to structure the agua. all the growers
that are using them are freaking out with the growth increase….anyhow,
i’ll send you a few links when I find them…Jesse thank you so much for opening your space here for us. i can’t
even begin to express the gratitude i feel over email, but i just want
to let you know we will do whatever we can to honor and bless this land
up as much as possible while we’re here!!!okay, hopefully i’ll be seeing you brothers soon!!!
alhoa nui loa!
justinps..we’ve been walking down the street to get internet connection, near
that little shopping area. but i just walked out into the yard and
picked up a pretty good signal. so i’m laying in the hammock we put up
between 2 of those norfolk pines as i type this. hopefully this signal
holds up…i’ll let you know…”
Ahhhhh. So much abundance. I haven’t even gotten there and already the seedlings of sustainable living are poking their head up into the sun. I’m very much hoping that with Zero One, I will have the opportunity to set up a permaculture living system and teach others about how to create their own. I also want to create a great deal of media about the process so that others may share in the successes and failures of the system. And finally, I want to be able to offer all of Team SuperForest the chance to come and learn and live off the grid, and experience a life untethered. Hopefully from Zero One the seeds of successful sustainable living will spread and take hold all over this wonderful planet of ours, the knowledge and skills carried back by Team members and you SuperForesters at home.
There is so much to learn and I’m so excited to continue the learning!
Also! SuperForester Taylor is looking for help attaching brake levers to his bikes handles. Is anyone out there a bicycle mechanic or knows a bicycle mechanic? If so, will you comment on Taylor’s post, and help guide him through the process please? Cheers!
The move to Kauai will probably slow down my posting for a few days. Not to worry. I’ll be back up to full steam again with a fresh batch of ideas to share.
Love to All,
-Jackson
