This dawning I went to go depend at a piece of realm . It ’s perhaps a little over a quarter Accho , but is probable pretty affordable . If it is , I am concerned . Even a quartern acre in the tropics can give a family when well - tended .
I also posted a video yesterday which I was quite happy with . I know , there ’s not a lot to it – but it ’s funny .
Yesterday I also made it out to a local agricultural supplying berth .
On one side , there are pots and seeds and tools and fertilizer … and the other side of the store is a liquor store .
That really crack me up . I suppose if your crop conk out , you may always drown your sorrows .
I corrupt some fine potting soil as I need to get some things sound , plus some fertilizer for the banana tree and the pumpkins . Though I generally go organic , in this event I ’m breed pumpkin and have a lot – a lot – of vine to care for . Hauling enough manure was n’t potential and they need a kick at the correct time . My visa here is link up to my procreation efforts , so I need results cursorily so I ’m going with the passport of the locals .
Ah well . There will be sentence for ideologic purity later on .
When I get my own berth , I ’m going to build soil that will amaze the locals . Biochar , constituent matter , grazing animals – we ’re run to make thing so rich that there will be no indigence for any kind of chemic supplementation . In the jumpy primer where my pumpkins are sprawling this kind of soil - building would take a few geezerhood – and I simply ca n’t see investing all the work into land I do n’t own . I am adding organic thing and leaving the ground good , but going the swale , chop - and - drop , biochar and manure route bring time I may not have . Especially since I need to present some good pumpkins to the Department of Agriculture .
You ’ve construe what I did in the past with deadened , Florida moxie – I can do the same with hard , bouldery clay !
It just make time I do n’t have right now .
For all of you in Florida , I ’m praying you get through hunky-dory . Irma is tight . We are okay here , but I have family in South Florida who have evacuated ahead of the storm , impart behind their houses . I hope they have something they can return to after the hurricane has run its row .
God be with you all , my Floridian friends .
