getchipdrop.com is a service in the States that provides free mulch. The downside is you don't get to really specify type, quantity, or exact delivery time. It's basically a queue so when an arborist has a job nearby they can drop the load at your location instead of driving to a dump site. Came through yesterday for us with the biggest load we've gotten and great quality. Guess they're working on oak trees for the city right now. Going to be a long day of moving mulch!
Success without Western aid is possible. Countries like Singapore and the UAE did it—so can the Global South.

#SeedSaversExchange - #SeedSaving: Introduction
"Why Save Seeds?
Have you ever tried to save seeds from your crops? While the topic may seem daunting, anyone can do it! Not only is seed saving practical, it’s also very rewarding and essential for biodiversity preservation.
Why save seeds?
- You increase your #SelfReliance.
- You connect to nature and your food.
- You save money on future seeds.
- You establish ties to history.
- You adapt varieties to your local climate.
- Saved seeds make great personal gifts.
- You help preserve #biodiversity.
- You join a unique and large community of seed savers!
Seed Saving at Seed Savers Exchange
Saving seeds is integral to our mission at Seed Savers Exchange. It’s right there in our name! At our Heritage Farm headquarters, we steward a living collection of over 20,000 different varieties of seed crops, potatoes, garlic, grapes, and apples. Learn more about preservation at SSE.
There is inherent value in all of the seeds we work to protect. Some of the plants we preserve have a strong cultural history. Others possess unique culinary properties, and others display resilience to climatic events or invasive pests. Read seed stories from the collection.

By saving your own seeds, you play an important part in carrying out our collective mission. It’s up to all of us to lend a hand by saving and sharing seeds. Other ways to support SSE.
You don’t have to save seeds alone! By saving seeds, you join a community of countless other gardeners with similar interests. SSE facilitates the largest free seed swap between home gardeners like yourself. Through the Exchange, gardeners can request seeds from other gardeners, and list their own to share!"
Saving seeds also gives you a special opportunity to make an impact in your own community. Join or start a local #SeedLibrary, attend or host a #seedswap and connect with local gardeners!
Through the Community Seed Network, co-created by SSE, you can connect with other gardeners. You will also find extensive resources on creative ways to share seeds within your community."

@david_megginson (I don't intend to #sound #snarky or #combative.) I understand where you're coming from, but I’d frame it differently. Relying on the #US to pick up the #slack you sometimes choose to leave behind — whether in the #defense of your #country, #energy #planning, or anything else — is #short-sighted. Better to invest in your own #selfreliance than to lean on others and expect (...)

Go to! Cast dust on those deaf skies, who spurn
Thy orisons and bootless prayers, and learn
To quaff the cup, and hover round the fair;
Of all who go, did ever one return?
