Question! Do you have an opinion of using a living mulch of alfalfa with my potatoes next season? A few years ago discovered jumping worms in my heavily leaf mulched beds. Last year tried straw as a heavy mulch for my potatoes, JW's went right through it, even ended up with a bunch of green potatoes. My thinking is the alfalfa will cover my potatoes, add some nitrogen plus give me some alfalfa I can use in other areas of the garden and in my worm bins. At this point I do not plan on terminating the alfalfa. Stay Well!!!

Wouldn't the wood be LIGHTER verses heavier when its seasoned? Due to water, etc?..

Black locust pods are small and the seeds are black and smaller in diameter than a pencil eraser. Honey locusts pods are 6 to 8 inches long and contain beans the same size as a navy bean. They are brown, edible seeds that must be cooked. The pod itself is toxic to humans and animals but the seed is safe. Per Cornell University the leaves are similar in protein content as alfalfa.

Did you have any problems with the weight of the double stacked totes crushing the cement blocks? I want to do this by my shop building, but I’m concerned about the block failing and damaging my building.
@ThePreparedHomestead
@ThePreparedHomestead 7 ай бұрын
Each cinder block can hold 1700 lbs, the weight is spread load across 4, so theoretically 6800lbs. That’s (2) 275 gallon totes. When full that would be 4400lbs. Ours have been double stacked on those blocks for 7 years without problem but that’s a valid concern.

Everything new is made of old atoms. It is not that there is nothing new under the sun. Contour ploughing/plowing (both spellings are correct; being English, I recommend the former) is in no way new. The only new invention is the attention paid to it, and the need to "market" it to a populace more familiar with Roman ploughing (dead-straight regardless of the grade).

You can also move water slowly from wetter areas to drier area via using a method that Mark Shepard uses where it's a plow that just incises a deep, narrow cut in the earth that allows water to drain at a 1% slope from a wet inner fold the landscape to a drier outer fold in the landscape. It's an adaptation of what they do in Australia, but uses cheaper equipment and accomplishes the same effect. Mark Shepard wrote a book on it detailing key info.

I’m in the Pacific Northwest and I scatter spring/fall around my blueberry bushes, roses, Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Heather, apple trees and nut trees. This is my 7th year. I did add pine bark last summer throughout the beds and it’s almost completely broken down except in the areas where I put the pine bark heavy. All the other areas the soil looks rich and healthy.

@@ThePreparedHomestead thanks. We're sort of right on that line. Some areas are definitely steeper, but there are also natural terraces. I think my goal is to just use those terraces and manage who excess water moves through them. We *definitely* have excess water, as much as 100" per year, but nothing from May through August, maybe longer. Something like swales at the edge of the terraces, or grade the terraces back, so the water lingers on each one for a bit, and then rock lined spillways to the next layer.

@b_uppy 8 ай бұрын
30% grade is the "breakpoint." Also small, frequent and shallow reduces points of failure. Moving water from wetter areas laterally to drier areas can help reduce dryness in the landscape and perhaps reduce the chance of slumping. A one percent grade for drainage has fewer problems with blowout etc than steeper ones. In Australia they use a yeoman's plow to move water with minimal landscape damage, but that version is expensive, Mark Shepard has found a cheaper variation but the name escapes me for now.

I think one of two male chickens feed nothing but whatever is grown from the garden their excrement is good enough to add nitrogen in the soil when the chicken compost is added. Another option is to have a visit to fish markets and ask them about the waste from fish when they process and clean the whole fish during a sale. All those innards are composted in a Bokashi style will produce enough minerals that it will replenish all the defficient nutrients for your soil. 10 kg of waste processed into smelly stinky goo per 0.5 acre watered in diluted manner weekly will increase the mineral content in soils. It is the best in my opinion, even though its smell like rotten meat.

It is wonderful combined with skullcap and passionflower for nervousness. Is an essential for irrational fears and OCD for our son. We saw a huge difference for him. It calmed the panic and frustration. We no longer use passionflower due to nerve pain. I have to say the tea is the worst thing we have EVER tasted. I mean ever, it was awful. Maybe I made it too strong, but I won’t make him drink it, we use tinctures.

Are they too close together? I would think that since they are so vigorous that once they get going they will really tangle up. I just planted some small ones last fall. I left them in their pots because the spot I wanted to put them in wasn't cleared yet. I had them about two feet apart, and in a short time, they have grown almost three feet and two of them are entangled. If I left them that close I think they would choke each other to death in a few years.
