Charcoal has some organic content in it. Biochar should be pure carbon.

#biochar #gas you can kind of see the gasses burning from the fire. Burning up some leftover wood and branches from the neighborhood. https://video.nostr.build/1a4cda6a610543e509a74ed5d3353567872f114cda539222fbd55ec1c2d4e7c5.mp4

#coffeechain huge moth this morning. Should have caught it and fed to the fish :)

Works well to propagate plants and grow water plants, I usually don’t stock as much fish as I should.

It is fun to mess with though, a pump on a timer to flood the upper bed is fool proof.

My video on a worm bin, 3 ingredients so far, biochar, azolla, coffee grounds.

Photos of the garden this morning, aquaponics system with water spinach, garden beds with cattle panels, rye grass cover crop, LuLu the farm dog, azolla backyard pond.

Great way to start the day!

April of this year. looks like the path is Austin to DFW https://nationaleclipse.com/maps.html

Do you mulch (not volcano mound style). I’ll typically do a few inch donut around the tree. Helps keep moisture around it. I’ve also started using biochar with plantings. We have heavy clay soil, looking to improve with biochar.

I’ll do cuttings in aquaponics system, it hasn’t worked the best, but super easy.

If you want to have good success make a propagation bed. I have some videos on it, sand/perlite bed in the shade. Irrigation timer turns on dramm misters every 10 minutes for 10 seconds.

The cuttings are dipped in rooting hormone, depending on the plant you can get 50% success.

#coffeechain good morning from Texas. I have a weekend of home remodel ahead of me :)

#covercrop #coffechain #ryegrass moved my garden beds and the soil was really terrible. Going with rye grass, any other thoughts on building soil quality?

#coffeechain working before everyone wakes up!
