Yes, I make my own biochar. I have a metal biochar stove, but you could easily do it by digging a hole in the ground. I do sell some locally with Craigslist, but just a few not a lot. In the fall I’ll sell though Etsy. It would probably sell well at a farmers market, but I haven’t gone down that road.

Yup, the bottom wood is heated without oxygen. This is a biochar fireplace (60 degree walls).

#grownostr #pineapple #biochar #gardening I stripped the lower part of a Pineapple top, placed in biochar in my aquaponics system. It worked on rooting the Pineapple. How long can I keep it going :)

I see your 105 and raise you humidity :)

#grownostr #tsp #gardening #pond #azolla My video on creating a simple backyard pond for about $50. I’m trying to make as much azolla before winter, great plants for fertilizer/mulch/animal feed.

My video on how I make new plants with my aquaponics system. Super easy system, no chemicals, I haven’t even setup my misting bed this year - always having issues. #aquaponics #plants #gardening #grownostr

#grownostr #backyard #pond filling up a simple $50 4x8 pond to grow more azolla. $20 7x10 liner from Amazon. 3 2x6x8 boards, 4 castle cement blocks. https://nostr.build/av/f45e8de0c0b53b594eb5efc6512fd8703ba734160b07d896637c9a8fa38658bd.mov

I wish mine would catch the mice that are eating cucumber seeds :)

#TSP #grownostr #sorghum First year growing some Milo and Sudan sorghum. Doing ok in the Texas heat. I thought they would grow a little taller. I’ll cut some seeds heads off and see if they produce another set. https://nostr.build/av/d8ad13869378981703e915a3010b54a1352eed0f0a59706bd8308df78ef6dbcf.mov

Yup, soon as it cools a bit. Probably late September / October. I should be able to ship rooted mulberry at that point.

TSP #grownostr #garden #summer Cattle panel garden beds using 2x6 boards, cattle cement blocks. Overall this has worked well this year. A little overgrown. I’ve been getting a ton of cucumbers.

Only update I’ll make is to reduce the width by a foot or so for each bed. Too much of a hassle to reach across each bed at 4’. https://nostr.build/av/4a4335ca594c3463dad46122916345701f4ddf5e12354b7715d6220dcf3a08f5.mov

Yes, might need to wait until fall. We currently have 100+ degree days down here outside Houston. Send me a DM so I don’t forget. Where do you live?

#TSP #grownostr #Azolla I’m growing Azolla in a kiddy pool. Working well so far, I’ve planted kang Kong, elderberry in the pot. The pot has soil fertilizer and a cap of sand. https://nostr.build/av/9f7a53f4d94450305fdd12f6a450872345637cd6fccf905baf431c33996fa77b.mov

#tsp #grownostr #garden #mulberry growing really well, already have a few cuttings. I’ll cut any off shoots and only have one main until full height.

#tsp #grownostr #aquaponics a batch of propagate plants from the aquaponics system. Need to keep in full shade from the Texas summer :).
