Planting day, and we were blessed with more rain. If even 5% of the seeds we planted germinate and produce something, it will be a banner year.
We take a different approach to growing things. I recently went to a class on planning Fall/Winter gardens in our climate, and so much of the advice revolved around starting in trays, purchasing inputs (albeit organic ones) and growing in raised beds.
"Gardening is expensive" one attendee lamented.
No! No! We reject this -- all of it!
I'll be releasing a comprehensive discussion of how to garden without inputs later - even if you can't have a perfect closed cycle system because you live in an apartment or are otherwise restricted, I'll be discussing how to minimize inputs and rethink the way you garden.
We'll touch on building soil and soil fertility, common pitfalls even organic growers fall into, natural "pest" management, maximizing water utilization, seed saving, and improving your land's yield year after year instead of creating resource debt.
This will be a post for paid subscribers only, so if you can spare the cost of a cup of coffee a month (is a coffee actually $5 anywhere anymore?) and you feel like this information could benefit you and your community, consider subscribing at the paid tier. Your subscription funds trees! And us feeding our family! So that's fun.
Looking forward to sharing more later 🌿
