My char infused soil is too rich for seedlings there's a fine line I thought the biology would balance it but after two years… for seedlings make the mix poor. Fire triggered serotiny sounds feasible for herbs, especially if they historically come from sites of periodic fire, it would be worth researching.
As for chives handling the wet, it was so wet this season even the chives died. Am making a whole new garden with engineered drainage (log surround has drain underneath it of large woodchip so the water can flow) to grow herbs in now, also under the eaves of the house and leeward of prevailing winds so a lot less rain than most sides of the house. Methinks a lot of us will have to rethink how we grow things that used to grow easily. Every 1 degree C rise in temperature puts 5% more water in the atmosphere. Some places become dryer, we who get the water get a lot more. It's not going to improve anytime soon.
We're moving from temperate to sub-tropical where I am. Loads of experimentation to be done. My first bananas and taro harvested, coffee took off as soon as I put it in the understory. Interesting times.
I love these videos! They have been so helpful. And I’m just a back yard farmer. Lol.
Apasote?
Where can I get rock dust?
Stands in front of their 5 figure green house, talking about how to grow herbs after the shtf fan after talking about how unsuccessful he's been at it. Oh, and what's a germination chamber and will they be available after 'the collapse'?
I do appreciate Living Web Farms effort though and hopefully the attendees of this class got a steep discount or it was free (for the people)
