#Permaculture and idiocy

It's usually just a case of getting pharmaceutical grade from Amazon or Ebay either as a powder or premixed. I wouldn't be surprised if its all coming from the same place.

Are you wishing of a date with Rowan Atkinson?

Try it this way, never used to get that many before, perhaps 2-3 out of a bunch of 10 if I actually remembered to water it 🙄

Can we make sticky notes on #nostr which we can associate with out npubs?

I think it would encourage people to write longer notes. Also if you could sticky multiple notes you could possibly curate content into something like a virtual magazine.

What do you all think?

100% success rate on the rose cuttings, no roots without microbes so I am chalking this up to the #biochar and the #bokashi and possibly some luck with the lunar cycles or something.

One even rooted so well it's starting to flower already, 🙂 so it's in the ground with the others already.

We had it here before the US but it sort of fizzled out. Anyway you broke my brain trying to work out if that's an intentional pun or not "bird flu off the ground" 😄

You can't say your support cannabis consumption but you have a zap address that involves the words "hazymeeting" 😆

I doubt it because its sometime them running the show, like with the Tudor Dynasty.

But then we won't be calling the Welsh foreigners in their own country anymore and where is the fun in that? 😁

If it's Rotterdam its probably just some build up to a gabber track...

I can die happy now knowing I have seen this. Thank you.

Glad its doing well. Had mine for years then it got a weird disease which looked like corking on the older part of the stem so I stopped watering it so much and mostly ignored it. Recently thought to feed it some EM its looking healthier and throwing out pups again 🙂

Just realised you wrote that in the first sentence 🤣

I wanted to share some techniques and success I found with bare root trees, specifically shipping for your #nursery or #garden.

I had dug up this catalpa tree for my mother-in-law a few months ago when she visited.

In order to pack it for her to take home, I had soaked some shredded cardboard in Terraganix EM-1 microorganisms. The EM-1 has some lactic acid bacteria, brewer's yeast, and purple non-sulfur bacteria in addition to other microbes. I mixed it 50-50 with some blackstrap molasses to activate it.

I then packed the roots in the cardboard, and left the top of the tree out of the bag.

This is a few months later; she hasn't had a chance to plant it yet, but the tree is doing pretty well in this cardboard-soaked-in-EM-1 mix:

Here's a closeup of the bag. Looks like the cardboard is starting to break down in here.

Not ideal that the tree isn't in the ground yet, but if you need to preserve some plants until you have time to plant them, this works pretty well for me.

I can share some other resources on Effective Microorganisms (EM) if you're interested.

The other thing cool about EM-1 was discovered after the Fukashima nuclear plant accident. At a nursery in Japan, they were testing the crops after the fallout to make sure that there were not radioactive elements present in the food.

One of the fruit nurseries does a soil drench and foliar application of EM-1 to build up the biology in the soil and on the leaves.

They found that the fruit from this nursery had very little or no contamination from the radioactive elements.

My understanding is the EM-1 helps establish good fungal and bacterial presence in the soil and on the leaves which forms a sort of protection from the radioactive elements. Instead of taking in the raw element as ions, the fungi is preventing the plant from taking them in as the plants are relying on the fungi to provide them with what nutrients they need, and not just taking them from the soil.

Good solution for shipping plants too.

GM, start following some people and say hello to some more on #plebchain. To be honest it's a bit quieter on here when most of the Americans are asleep.

I wouldn't take it too personally, it's pretty funny if you actually look at what else they write. Apparently 'Elon Musk is gay' and "they don't understand many things they read here" 😆
