Managed to find a copy of Sprout Lands, and reading the synopsis I see 'living hedge' mentioned. In season 2 of Clarkson's Farm (Jeremy Clarkson trying to run a farm) there's a match organized where folks make traditional living hedges, something I had never heard of but found fascinating. So thanks for this recommendation, sounds right up my alley.

That'll work when typing things online, but not in f2f conversations. I thought about 'com(m)' which will work, typed out in certain contexts, but I think that sounds too much like other words in several languages including English to use in speech. But if you prepend 'lemmy' to that it's quite a distinguishable word that sounds like 'lexicon': lemmycom(m)!

There's a lemmycom for that.

"Community" as the other replies already mentioned, but how do we abbreviate that? "Sub" worked well imho, but does "com" have the same ring to it? Any better suggestions?

I had to lookup 'coppice' and 'pollard', didn't expect to learn something new within the first five posts on this community. If you know of any nice introduction video on the topic, please post it to the sub.

I'm currently doing a three-bin system for the kitchen scraps and yard waste (with some added horse manure to get things going whenever I fill up a new bin). That one actually gives me some amount of compost I use in said yard again.

Three months ago I also started a wannebe-Johnson-Su like bioreactor, so a cylinder shaped pile of shredded leafs and wood chips. It's only 80~90cm in diameter and roughly 1m high so nowhere close to the actual Johnson-Su design, but it's what I could make with the leafs/wood and the materials I had lying around.

Lastly I've got a very small vermicomposting setup, a bucket with the bottom cut out and some thick wire going back and forth for the bottom. This is more of a small scale continuous flow setup, which I have not harvested yet. Not too sure whether this thing is gonna work out, to be honest.

No worries, hope everyone and everything is alright over there. Thanks for the update.
