Did you know that I also sometimes post on my wife Lyanda’s blog, The Tangled Nest? The Tangled Nest is a blog about our experiments in “cultivating an urban-earthen household,” or what some might call urban homesteading. Lyanda does most of the writing there (she’s the real writer in the family after all), while I do most of the photography. But I also try my hand at posting from time to time.
I just posted a fun post there about using sundews and other carnivorous plants to keep your fruit flies under control (verdict: only mildly effective but very amusing).
I also recently posted about using your car as a food dehydrator, a post that got picked up by Lifehacker, and many other places from there.
And in a nice companion to my Bikejuju post on Ethiopian Bikes, I posted on The Tangled Nest about a wonderful old Ethiopian woman and her mysterious backyard chickens-raising habits.
