Lots of driftwood in Unalakleet and discarded brush for the taking, as well as dead grass/straw... perfect for hugel mound building!!! !VideoCapture_20190519-144402.jpgVideoCapture_20190519-144151.jpg This is our composting area! VideoCapture_20190519-144728.jpg This is our fishrack... many homes in Alaska coastal villages like Unalakleet have fish racks, we have so much wild salmon here. But THIS year, I am using ours for vining plants!!! VideoCapture_20190519-144331.jpg!And to end, here is a birdhouse and pole that have been here since I was a little girl, growing up "village".
