indeed, but we could use uncontaminated urine as a fertiliser and there are commercial scale examples eg in Sweden
in a home garden I suggest making use compost; and horse manure if available locally ๐คช
dig up the grass and make vegetable beds
How to Start a Small Farm by Jean-Martin Fortier at the Market Gardener Institute, step by step, excellent introduction ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPjE...
what is the name of the plant?
thanks, inspirational to hear you, now I must do a video showing my own hugelkultur beds : )
if the yen collapse triggers a broader loss of confidence in major currencies, it could accelerate a generalized sell-off including the dollar, I suggest investing in our garden planning cards and land ๐
if selling the dollar early during a decline will get a better price, isn't this just going to accelerate?
Green Party activists are out and about ๐
also beds are shallow hugelkultur, shallow ditches filled with thick pine branches and then covered with with the sandy top soil, they work better after 2 - 3 years
all your points are spot on, have been adding clay and organic matter to beds, as well as compost tea from small worm farm; plants that grow best are asparagus, tomato, carrots, peas, beans and goosberries ๐
great, do let me know when it's live, will be happy to review and maybe we can post on our blog
checkout studioumluft.bsky.social they are working on a permaculture game, found earlier today by chance ๐
very true, I find doing permaculture and growing food has had a very positive impact on me ๐
I have 7 beds which are 10m long x 80cm very sandy soil with pine trees nearby, Europe, interested to know what you'd recommend? ๐
interesting ๐ can be used for custom garden planning and will recommend companions?
can we also have land distribution please, to encourage small holdings and organic farming; thanks ๐
remembering what to plant where, which is why we came up with Garden Match Cards ๐
astonishing, thanks for that, will try it this summer
it's fixed, now we do ๐ it was something to do with the shop setup
the amount of organic matter that a sandy soil needs to be productive
saw some down the local garden centre & daffodils, a bit early we thought
enjoying a game of Garden Match down the local pub ... hand with matching Comfrey & Yarrow on top at this stage ... #games #cards #plants #pub
interesting and frightening
oh any more info about the community garden, perhaps folk can help somehow?
refreshing to see someone mention that we benefit from consuming less ๐
good luck, I'm also wondering how best to make a living from gardening skills and hortitherapy keeps coming to mind
great idea, asparagus look great when a few spears are allowed to grow tall ๐
Yesterday's Gov report tells us that UK "cannot currently produce enough food to feed its population based on current diets" and that as ecosystems collapse, other countries are likely to limit exports.
That means not enough to eat.
It really is time for Gov to brief the nation.
