Extreme annual vegetable plant succession!
Help wildlife help you!
I bill the title statement as a Permaculture Rule
Time stacking garden vegetables for increased production
A companion planting guide is helpful in learning capatability, then imagination kicks in on the timing!
Keyhole Garden Bed planted and mulched
Strawberries and chives ring the border, a scant few potatoes, rutabaga, beet seeds planted.
Herb spiral is planted and mulched
14 herb plants installed, the sprial will disappear in green come the end of July! Just working an hour or so every other day, or something like that.
Second element added to my donated project
Need a keyhole garden bed! Already I have received a positive facebook message from a local. :-)
Aerobic composting - finished product
I built a sifter and started shaking out the large material in making a fine seed starting medium.
As the Compost Turns!
Update on the Advanced Aerobic Composting series.
Advanced Aerobic Compost includes exotic materials!
Plus an update on snow seeding.
Snow Seeding Swale Mounds!
The snow is going to melt in a few weeks giving way to spring! Now is the time to experiment with this seeding technique.
Winter Squash is tops in a cold climate!
Six months after harvest we are still sitting on a mother load of perfect winter squash.
Honey Bees survive brutal cold!
Below zero F temperatures, -35 with wind chill. But winter is not over yet...
Worked a booth at a show!
First show since 2010, hawking solar air heating, solar water heating, solar electric, wood pellet and gasification burners.
Start those trees young!
Pollarding for the many uses of stick wood.
Shoveling cattails for mulch!
Trying out a Geoff Lawton PDC idea.
The Permaculture Road!
Multi-purposed, primary function is access to the back of the forty acres.
Public Land is my Zone 5!
Picking berries!
Back to Eden Garden Experiment
About to go wild!
More experiments in eating the grass
Using empty spaces in the lawn to plant something!
Three sisters success!
Corn as trellis, beans for nitrogen and squash for cover. Producing food for me and mine!
First swale on contour!
Linked video is the first leg of a 29 hour marathon session of digging swales - also including two small dams.
Steamed salmon heads in a bed of comfrey
The smell will invite you!
Working with honey bees
One method of splitting a bee hive.
My Onions and Garlic Stories
Easy to grow, very good to eat!
