@DoomsdaysCW Credit to you. Food security, sadly, is only going to become ever more important. Critical to that will be the ability to save seed from heirloom varieties and to distribute it for local growers.

You’ve promoted composting as a means to improve soil health. More people need to get stuck in, in the garden. These skills take time to learn and the clock is ticking.

Saving your seed is the best way to propagate your garden – and the cheapest! But it's also a way of protecting our heritage plants.

#RFIDBlocking #DIY hack worked! I tested out my work ID, and with the wallet closed, no signal. Open it up, there's a signal! I laid down a couple of overlapped layers of silver duct tape, then smooth aluminum foil, then clear packing tape over the foil.

@Hellybootwader More and more concepts for urban farms are being developed in France (and elsewhere). This is the largest urban farm in the world on a roof of an exhibition centre in Paris:
