The Six Practices

You do not need land. A household draws on soil, water, energy and attention every day.

Source from ground you can name

Test the soil first. Know where what you bring into your home comes from. Start with the ground, understand what it can tell you, and make choices with that knowledge.

Close the loop on waste
