In this month's composting newsletter: understanding the thermic phases, recording the sounds made by the bugs in the compost heap. Plus three songs about worms.
@theTractor@plants I was wondering about that. I recently got a greenhouse where I put plants in that just won’t survive in my room conditions. It’s not fully insulated so I thought I don’t need a fan. Maybe I need one.
probably yes, but arm yourself with fungicide because when it attacks a plant it is difficult to make it recover, at least in my experience. Good luck! 😉

Has someone a cherry tree with two different varieties crafted onto one Gisela5 or really tiny cherry spindles/espaliers?
I have either space for two tiny spindles/espaliers or one solitary tree with two varieties (for pollination).
Hat jemand Erfahrung mit zweierlei Süßkirschen auf einer Gisela5-Unterlage oder wirklich kleine Säulen/Spalierkirschen?
Ich habe Platz für entweder zwei Säulen/Spalierbäume oder einen Baum mit zwei Sorten. #garten#pflanzen#obstbaum
Questo inverno l'ho messo a dimora ed ora eccolo qui, bello e profumato.
È l'alium roseum, per le sfumature rosate dei petali. In Toscana lo chiamano "aglio di serpe" o "aglio viperino".
Si trova selvatico sui bordi delle strade di campagna e nei campi, ovunque nella regione mediterranea.
In questa pianta i fiori sono raccolti in dense ombrelle, le quali sono inizialmente avvolte da spire papiracee.
Talvolta le ombrelle contengono anche piccoli bulbilli che, cadendo, possono dare origine a nuove piante. (Guardate bene la foto nel precedente tooth, ci sono!)
CURIOSITÀ: Le cellule intatte di tutti gli Allium contengono alliina, un amminoacido inodore che per azione dell'enzima alliinasi, liberantesi con la rottura del bulbo, si trasforma in allicina, composto fortemente odoroso.
Next no dig bed in preparation, just waiting for some rain to wet the card before adding compost and woodchip. It’s quite a damp bed as in a little hollow so eventually will be home to a willow #permaculture#NoDig#Veganic#ForestGarden#Gardening
Après un CA des Sheds, une petite visite du parc-jardin s'impose. La Photo en illustration est l'entrée de la zone #Biodiversité du Parc-Jardin des Sheds, à Kingersheim.
Cette Zone n'est pas destinée au potager, ni aux fleurs, mais à laisser des zones contrôlées de végétation naturelle.
C'est aussi notre réservoir d’orties (pour le purin). La deuxième photo montre le hache-paille antique qui nous sert tant.
In this installment of What Color Is My Turkey Tail, we have at least 8 distinct colors including chestnut brown, seaweed green, some sidewalk gray, and a pleasing splash of steel blue.
Design & Build: From Raw Land to Small Farm
Our next permaculture workshop is on April 27th up in San Miguel. Join us for a tour of a grow-to-donate vegetable farm and fruit orchard in San Miguel. We will discuss the design of the farm, terracing, water system, crop layout and rotation, and Spring planting pre https://www.permacultureday.org/listing/design-build-from-raw-land-to-small-farm/
