I've just created the hashtag and page, AgEcoResearch, to organize my plant content. You have found this page from social media. You may have seen the QR code at one of my plant sales, or maybe you searched the web for something like this. Thanks for checking it out. I will cover and discuss concepts such as no-till farming, ancient agriculture practices, native species, regenerative ag, cover crops, beneficial insects, organic fertilizer, nature conservancy, and more.

After becoming disabled, I chose to use my time pursuing education independently. Thanks to the internet, I've studied many topics. One that has gripped me is the food supply chain. Agriculture affects everything from public health to the economy, and everything in between. Down this rabbit hole, I discovered a culture of ecologically sound agricultural practices returning. Set aside the detrimental system currently in place, especially in America, some of the most beneficial forms of growing food are the most simple. Some might even recall them as ancient. Everything from higher yields, to better nutrition, improved local ecology, and even to lower costs, can be achieved by simplifying the process and returning to more natural methods.
During the pandemic, I returned to school and acquired an Associates Degree in Business Management with an Environmental Science Focus. Couple that with my endless fascination with my own experiences in the yards, parks, and gardens across the United States and I have only invested more emotionally, spiritually, and financially in the pursuit of knowledge and experience in one of the most fundamental expressions of life on this planet.
I needed to create a space for this project, a place to organized my thoughts, record my processes, document my progress, and continue exploring the sciences of growing things. I am also beginning the process of selling plants from my background to fund my research. If you are in the Inland Empire, specifically in Menifee, check out my listings below.
