#Permaculture and idiocy

Trying this out this week, photosynthetic bacteria like Rhodopseudomonas Palustris have completely changed my approach to disease issues in gardening. They can retask certain pathogens into beneficial organisms for a plant .

Instead of removing all the top soil in a garden I was working at in an effort to battle phytophthora, I instead poured a lot of this bacteria in the soil. This prevented any more trees and shrubs dying while improving the health of the overall garden.

So if instead of paying Β£35 for a 500ml bottle I can make some with some msg, eggs and sunlight I am all ears.

WTF? How these two things in anyway related in anyway?

Could they not define a woman in 1493?

It seems living in a hard water area seems has some advantages after all!

Your welcome if the will is there to enact it, we just need to do it πŸ˜„. Shame you and Shishi are not my neighbours overwise we would be off to a flying start πŸ™‚

Buy some nmn and stop eating carbs. Then you hopefully you don't have to blame your family as appealing as the idea is πŸ˜‰

Now I have spend weeks weeding this garden there is no one around to see it πŸ˜†

Cleaning the spring fed village pond with #bokashi popped 2 litres in this week.

Let's see how things are getting along next week and if we need to add more....

#grownostr

Don't be afraid to use you intuition and cut things back if you feel its correct. Cant stress that first point enough because a single image I see via nostr is not the real thing and there is way more information looking at something in real life.

If I were doing it the bottom branches look good. Is it possible to bend those branches 3rd up from the top down on to the second wire if the crotch angle allows it (aka do you think it might break in the process)? If so perhaps cutting out the second up branches and having these instead might be a good idea.

Also once you have reached the top of your wire cut the main leader (aka main branch) sort of level with the top wire you want it to grow to. Once you do this the overall growth will start to become more parallel with the wires.

If Arkansas black is a very vigourous variety it might be worth pruning it back a bit initially along the wires too. Not sure myself... don't even know if we have it here in the U.K, every apple variety can have its quirks. For example you will need to check its a spur bearing variety as pure tip bearing varieties like Irish peach a very early apple are no good for espalier production.

Last letter is a lower case 'p' we are safe for another month atleastπŸ˜‰

Good thing Sunak called the election early otherwise some people wouldn't have smoking on the stairs an option in the future πŸ˜„

Lets invade and annex the Scilly isles, start from there and spread out to the rest of the country.

That way if it doesn't work we can say it was a Scilly idea and casually just pretend it didn't happen. After all they did a massive authoritarian overreach during covid and they got away with it and they didn't even have a good pun to fall back on so I think we are on to winner here.

Yeah its weird, because even those born even a decade later wont have seen them. Might explain the current thing generation's unusual love of conflict compared to us crusty old antiwar curmudgeons!
