I got it from a nursery and it just said cantaloupe

I don’t know really, that’s a good question

My first baby cantaloupe 🙌 it was delicious and wonderful 😋 #garden #harvest 🧡

I wanted to share a little on the potting soil we use for the plants in our #nursery:

What we are looking for is a medium that drains easily, yet retains moisture. The cost is also a factor.

Since we pot mostly perennials, I also am looking for a fungally dominant potting mix vs. bacterially dominant as you'd have with fresh compost.

Wood chips around here are easy to get by the truckload, and I use well rotted ones for the basis of my compost mix. And by "rotted" I mean "rotted": They look like soil and are completely broken down by fungus, it takes about 2-3 years.

On top of the wood chips I add about 5% by volume charged biochar. About half of this is sifted to 1/4" + and the other half of the biochar is right out of the leaf vacuum I use to crush it up. The biochar is charged with azomite, sea minerals, worm casts, and effective microorganisms (EM-1). We make the biochar right here on the farm. It serves both to provide and retain nutrients and moisture as well as provide drainage:

Then worm castings sifted to 1/8" and finer at around 5% by volume. I also raise the worms for the casts, the current system involves growing them in 4'x8' Waste Management Bagsters:

Finally about 1 quart of activated EM-1. This is 1 oz Terraganix EM-1 mixed with 1 oz blackstrap molasses in 30 oz of water:

This all gets mixed up by hand, and then we use it to pot our plants.

I mix it in a gorilla cart which will provide enough for about 25-30 trade gallon pots.

I trim the roots before curing. I think they try to draw in moisture from the environment otherwise? But maybe when speed-curing the opposite happens?

Needs some solar poweres miners to add heat to increase drying.

I wonder — who are they planning to pass on their operations to? Maybe you can talk to the heirs.

Hey farmers!

Ever hear about Bitcoin?

Depending on the stats you see between 50-80% of farm household income comes from off farm employment. We got a money problem, full stop.

Hey Bitcoiners! Want an easy low hanging fruit to target? Talk to your farmer, grazer or producer!!!

Tell them about Bitcoin, they have a problem and you have the fix.

Exchange your fiat trash for a #Bitcoin stash.

Enjoy the new day!

Sorry its a sarcastic question. A blue suit could be 100k sats or 1milli sats knowing how much a blue suit is doesn't matter because you have no idea of quality or size.

I work in sales and without information I might as well guess your part and its price.

Are you supposed to peel onions & garlic or not?

GM! ☕️ How are you today? 💜🫂 Monday, Monday... Today is a nice, warm and sunny day, so I decided to harvest winter garlic. The leaves are slowly drying up and turning yellow and this is a sign that the garlic should be harvested. From the time you peel the flower until the leaves dry out, the garlic bulb grows by up to 25%, so it's worth waiting. #foodstr
