LOL, so true for hydro as well. When I got really really sick and was in the hospital my SO tried valiantly to maintain the windowfarm in the largest window of our tiny NYC apartment but he finally gave up after there was an uptake tube clog. When I got out I came home to a forest of dead tomato...
Heavenly! That would be my dream. I love tropical lushness... the most I can do is an ice cream banana and some citrus on the cat porch where the humidity is a little higher.
For raised beds and containers I'm mixing 1/3 organic compost, 1/3 vermiculite and 1/3 coconut fiber with additional azomite sprinkled in and organic fertilizer. The soil around here is very sandy and has almost no organic matter and it's triple digits in the summer. The bed mix keeps things...
Your beds are beautiful! And as a not tall person, I'm a big fan of how you used the cattle panels. I did a similar thing with tomatoes. I fenced the yard with it too as a grape/kiwi/cucumber trellis.
Another experiment I'm about to try is multigrafted semi dwarf fruit trees in 24" round stock tanks for areas where I have cement next to the house. I don't want to have to climb a ladder to pick and hoping the reflectivity and thermal mass of the adobe walls give them a little boost. I've read...
I know. But the IDSA is run by a bunch of people who, IMHO, got a lot wrong and have a direct financial interest at cross purposes to the Lyme community. They've been sued by the CT Atty General over it for anti-trust violations.
When I was still able to have my old career which was very physically demanding and exhausting (film/tv shoots) some weeks I'd spend all night in the emergency room because of pain and the next day try to pretend everything was normal. It took months to recuperate after a wrap. I finally had to...
I'm sure. I've been bitten many times and had the erythema migrans rash. That only occurs with Lyme disease. The tests really are just that inaccurate.
ETA: my Lyme responded to long term antibiotics. I was able to walk again after being pretty much confined to bed for about a year...
I'm going to try it with the bottoms cut out for direct seeding in raised beds and they'll get drip irrigation so I don't have to mess with them. I hope it works. If I get 2 weeks extra I'll consider that a success.
I got a ton but not until August and was still harvesting up until hard frost. My freezer is full, can't even get into it until I use some (I must learn how to can). I guess I need to just keep experimenting with getting them ripe earlier as cheaply as possible. Next competition: Jugs outside vs...
