Living in Portland is a constant lesson in the power of the DIY frame of mind. Walk down almost any street and you will be sure to find a home whose front yard is populated by raised beds, re-purposed woodwork, or chickens. 

I’m inspired by these choices and have begun develping a strategy for converting my lawn into a pratical permaculture landscape. More systems and guilds, less man vs. wild.

What can you accomplish with your own DIY frame of mind?
