Aphids can reproduce so quickly because female aphids give birth to live young that are already pregnant. In just a couple of weeks, the young reach maturity and give birth to other pregnant nymphs.

A short cycle of reproduction results in exponential population growth and there are many overlapping generations per year.

It's still early enough to start your garden seeds indoors in many parts of the country. Get a head start on the gardening season and save money by starting your own seeds instead of buying starts from the local nursery. In this video, I walk you through how I start my garden seeds each year, including the supplies needed and the steps to take. Also in this video, come along as we add to our edible landscape in the front yard. Just because you are growing food does not mean you can't have beautiful landscaping! I'll show you what we already have growing and what we are adding this year.

This was my first attempt at building a cabin. Bought 4.5 acres in east TX and cleared a road and building site. Built a shed to sleep in while we were there and store tools when we weren't there.

Then the shed burned to the ground while we weren't there.

Then my dad died.

Then my wife left.

Then thieves broke in and stole all my tools and equipment.

Then I buckled up and got the damned thing done. It's been quite an adventure but the payoff is amazing.

Not sure how to link a Reddit post but that’s the best I can do for now. I advise you to look at the first post!

Hey guys! So I still aim to create a commune. Keeping the subreddit updated on my progress just because. Also hopefully the continued updates will draw in more attention and as a result, ideas and advice. Since the last post I’ve refined the goal quite a bit and trimmed a lot of naive day dreaming.

Funding

• I am underway to becoming an electrician and plan on being a unionized worker. I’ll make at least 6 figures a year once I’m a licensed hard working journeyman with the potential to earn more, depending on a number of variables. (Skill, qualifications, network, etc)

So no more influencer daydreams. Although I do think documenting the journey would do no harm.

Actionable steps

-I am currently planning and in talks with a few people on Wwoof and have offered my hand in work in exchange for the learning experience of a life time. -Spring has just sprung here and Canada and I will be starting out a small garden for peppers and spices. This will be my first time really gardening and growing food. I aim to make some hot sauce and preserve some. -As I mentioned for funding I am otw to becoming an apprentice. -This post for tips and thoughts. -Research in spare time -Keeping in excellent health -Therapy

Principles

I over the course of my research came across restorative agriculture. The focus of this community will be giving back to the earth and our descendants. Restorative agriculture, a restorative community is the focus.

Please leave all of your thoughts, tips, advice anything that comes to mind!!!

When you add a new member to a herd, there will always be an adjustment period as the new goat settles in and the herd figures out where everybody fits in the new dynamic. In today's video, we will share how our goats (and us!) are adjusting to having another goat in the herd as well as how Adeline is adjusting to her new home and milking routine.

Good evening!

I am based in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Looking for someone who has the passion but perhaps not the circumstances in having the land or sawmill or whatnot to be able to pursue milling as a hobby or possibly source of income.

I have the land, the space and also can offer accommodations of course. I basically focus entirely on renovations - restoring the old farm and buildings and that alone keeps me very busy.

I am hoping to not only improve the logging and milling operation on the property and to sponsor that - but also to buy material needed to make a shop and wood working equipment so that higher quality wood products could possibly be made. Maple Syrup tapping is also something else I would like to encourage.

No idea how to really approach this - but my friends keep suggesting just posting something and maybe finding someone who is curious and passionate enough.

Ask me anything - hope you all are doing well. Thanks for your time!

Do you think growing tomatoes is a bit of a tricky task? You’re mistaken. Though these plants are prone to a few problems, you can successfully grow them in your home garden with proper care.

On the commercial level, tomatoes are mostly grown using artificial fertilizers. They are harvested before ripening and travel long distances to reach the supermarket’s shelf. They look nice on the store’s shelves but do not taste as good as homegrown tomatoes.

Homegrown tomatoes will enhance the taste of your salads, pasta, and sauces.

After alerting about food waste, then alerting about all the plastic that is wrapped on our food, then he lived off his food that he grew and then he went on full foraging his food (100%!!) he is my main inspiration when it comes to living alternatively.

What do you think about him ? I don’t see his name that much on Reddit

Get to know your local pollinators. Plant pollen and nectar-producing plants attract pollinators such as bees, bumblebees, hoverflies, moths, butterflies, beetles, and other pollinating insects.

Provide them with shelter and nesting sites.

Video Learning Session on Soil Fungi & its Symbiotic Relationship with Plants.

If you'd like to know which plants Build Soil Fungi Vs Benefit from Soil Fungi.
Leave a Comment.

Hello,

Hope you are all well. I am looking for some fellow UK plant nerds to test a compound I've been working on for a few months. I've been growing two tomato plants, indoors. Exactly the same plants from seed, up until I started amending the soil of one of them, with my compound.The difference has been very exciting.

I can't seem to post images for some reason. I am documenting the grow on a blog I write. You can check the tomato plant test if you like, at thaibasilstudies.blogspot.com.

Basics compared to control plant:

• More vigorous growth
• More even colour
• Appears to be assimilating nutrition far more efficiently
• Morphology much improved
• Requiring around 30% less water
• 30% to 40% more biomass
• Showing many thick white roots penetrating fabric pot, none from control plant

I'm hoping to connect with fellow gardeners that would like to experiment with my compound. I'm giving it away FOR FREE! Just send a stamped addressed envelope and I'll send you enough for one plant's cycle. All I ask is a few photos to be shared and that I will be able to use those photos on my blog.

I'd like some independent unbiased testing going on.

Message me here or preferably email me

freshthaibasil@gmail.com

Thanks for reading my post. Perhaps hear from you.

​

All the best, remain well.

Cheers n gone.

Garlic is a hardy crop that can be grown in any garden and can produce a great harvest for you. This guide will show you all of the steps involved with growing garlic so that you have an easy reference point for future gardening endeavors!

Composting like this has worked so well for me that I wanted to take the time to write a little bit about it and share it. Would be interested to hear other gardener's experiences with in-ground composting.

Video about eating mature asparagus

We live in Upshur County WV. We had a leaning retaining wall that we had torn down and rebuilt. Come to find there is a spring that was pushing dirt and mud against the wall (along with crappy original design and build) that was causing the wall to be incredibly unsafe. After the proper drainage and diverting of the water was constructed another spring was found. We now have spring water draining from the hill onto our property. The water looks as clean and clear as anything I have ever seen. Should I have it tested for purity? Or is this spring water ok for consumption? Where would I have it tested? It's producing about a cup of water every minute. Weslayan College isn't far from us I bet they could test it. We don't even know what to do with all this water....a nice water feature in our yard? Capture and store it? Thank y'all for any information.
