Hugelkultur, composting, permaculture.Those are things I never really took on.Was just plant and leggo manure and blaukorn.The taste difference between homegrown organic and fertilizer stuff is very noticeable.Right now on my priority list is building a good soil , so no major crops as yet.The backfill I have is not good for anything other than grass as yet.This is a 5 year plan.Hopefully I am around to contribute to this thread as progress happens.

Since I've owned my property, every time I cut grass and cut down banana trees, I've piled it in a compost heap. It's amazing how rich it is at the bottom. Ever so often I dig it up and mix it in with sections of my yard
Current back-yard grow bed is basically a section blocked off with foundation bricks, and filled with a mix of soil and that compost. Nothing fancy but last 4 tomato trees gave me more than enough. Right now I just set some more tomato and sweet pepper seedlings. Next to germinate are some corn and cucumbers.
In between I always have pineapples (zero maintenance). The lime tree refuses to bear even though it's going on three years old and is growing nicely. Hoping my pomegranate does better. Growling nicely so far, as are the banana and plantain
I have a grow box to put in the front porch for lettuce and cabbage. The whole porch is screened off so no worries about pests or pesticides

When the house went up, the shade killed the mandarines
The lime is the variety that bears HUGE limes. Two years ago, I trimmed it down and it bore one single lime
I trimmed it again last week so let's see
The tree itself looks healthy, it just not givin mih any chirren...kinda like max

We have a red one that growing so i trimmed a few off to set. They were left in the large put to catch. They've rooted so I have them set in some smaller pots.
Someone gave me a yellow clump. I split it into three and set each of them. Hopefully they will catch.

He was explaining he have premium cuttings for $150 that will.grow and bear fruit in 2 years
And he have random cuttings for $25 that might take 7 years to grow and bear. And that's what most plant shops does be selling for $50 or $75
I didn't bother to go buy because I hadda look into it more.carluva wrote:I set 7 dragon fruit today. 4 red and 3 yellow.
