Homesteading Permaculture Azolla

My wife found a good deal on Bartlett pear trees. More than 50% off at Stark Bros

Scored some free pots today.

24 comfrey cuttings planted between the first two rows of fodder trees. We had to push hard to get them in before the rain started.

Chill out puppy, we have to plant the strawberries before you eat them. I think most of the 75 made it in the ground.

Azolla five day update. Can y'all see the growth?

#grownostr #permaculture #permies #azolla

Egyptian walking onions are great. These "seeds" look like they are ready to plant. I usually just let them drop in the bed for next year.

I finally have about 25 gallons of biochar made. The tilted barrel method works well for about five gallons of good quality biochar. It is possible to get double that, but you lose the flame cap and start producing a lot of ash. You can see this in the photo.

This method is fine for someone using fallen limbs on just an acre or two. It might also work in conjunction with a fodder coppice as long as you have multiple drums going. I will keep playing around with this, but will have to move to something much bigger as we clear out the sweetgum to plant fodder trees.

(Sorry for the double post. I forgot to add the things.)

Looks good. I have a lot of sweetgum trees to. Have you found any good use for them? I read a site that said their leaves were high protein, but I can't find it now. Supposedly the seeds are used to make tamiflu.

Hope these strawberries make a thick enough ground cover to outcompete the weeds

Does anyone know if this comfrey is bocking 4 or bocking 14?

#grownostr #comfrey #permaculture #fodder

Fodder trees. 100% survival rate. Planted over a month ago.
