Some people plant by the signs of nature. This year, for me at least, the signs of nature are a bit confusing. We have items coming up that are normal for this time of year but there are fewer than normal. Other items are early yet would be normal for the higher temperature ranges we’ve…

My grow station is being built a little at a time. I expect in the next two weeks to have it fully operational and full. My worm farm has produced an unbelievable amount of worms in the last few days.
A little panoramic shot as several have said it was a nice view and talking about our city employees.
Children are wonderful. Adults would do well to listen to them more often.
Got the manure. More than I expected at one time but less than I will need. No worries, I’m acquainted with the factory owner.
A little update on the property. Weather has been unusually good. Threw me off actually as I had planned on rebuilding several things in the house during the time that we normally have heavy snows. So…. instead, the last few months have been filled with reorganization on a daily basis.
Testing the three elements I plan to use for the potting mix for the biochar trials. Peat, compost/potting soil and worm castings mixed with biochar. I am also testing the worm castings without biochar as well.

I’ve started some onion seed and made an indoor seed starting station. Still needs a bit of work. Link to Thumperlane Homestead’s…
The Yacon is beginning to show itself. Trying to root some wild rose cuttings for rose hips and discussing my view of contentment as part of the self sufficient mentality.
Update on my experimental worm farm and a mention of the Bio-char trials being conducted by OneYardRevolution. The worms appear quite happy but I am concerned that it may be to wet. The worms have increased more than six fold since the beginning. As it is my first time attempting this I am not sure…
Discussing some of the comments on Freezing your jeans article. Honestly, it encourages me.
I guarantee that there will be thousands of people tonight sticking their nasty jeans covered in the daily dirt, filled with dead skin particles and full of fart blossoms in the freezer with their food.
I’m experimenting in the kitchen with Quinoa added to a casserole type thingy. Opening a can is not cooking. Taste test at end.

Much like the back to Eden method, I prefer to just refer this as the “back to common sense” gardening. because it is so common sense, and I think everyone should do this. I have seen at my house and time and time again the effects of mulching is just stunning. MIgardener Store: https://www.facebook.com/MIgardener/app_251458316228 Join…
