  2. From yesterday. Applied the hydrated alfalfa pellets, cold mulching natural fertilizer, to several transplanted starters & seedlings. I have only used 1/4 of bucket -> it fed 30 transplanted starters & 60 seedlings.

    Today, I'm feeding our fruit trees/shrubs/more food/flower plants & putting some where I had recently broadcast sowed more alternative cover crop seeds.

  3. Is www.getchipdrop.com still going? It seems like a really good idea, but there doesn't seem to be any activity recently. It would be great to spread it more in Europe.
    Free wood chips for the garden. What's not to like!

  5. #ClimateResilient #Gardening: How to Adapt Your Garden to #ExtremeWeather

    ECO gardener, Nov 14, 2024

    Excerpt: "Gardening in Extreme Weather

    Gardening in extreme weather can be challenging, but with the right strategies, you can protect plants and maintain a healthy garden:

    Choose Weather-Resistant Plants
    Opt for #DroughtTolerant, heat-resistant plants in hot climates (like succulents or lavender) and hardy, cold-resistant species in colder climates (like kale or coneflowers).

    Use #Mulch to Retain Moisture and Insulate
    Applying a thick layer of organic mulch helps regulate soil temperature and retain moisture, making it essential in both hot and cold conditions.

    Install #ShadeCloth or Row Covers
    In intense heat, a shade cloth can protect plants from direct sun, while row covers offer frost protection during cold spells.

    Water Smartly
    For hot weather, water early in the morning to reduce evaporation and avoid wetting foliage. In winter, water during the day when temperatures are above freezing to help roots absorb moisture before the ground freezes.

    Consider #RaisedBeds
    Raised beds help with drainage in #WetClimates and can warm up faster in colder weather, giving plants a more stable growing environment.

    Wind Protection Strategies
    Use windbreaks like shrubs, fencing, or netting to shield plants from damaging winds that can dry out or freeze foliage.

    Invest in Hardy #ContainerGardens
    For extreme weather, container gardens are versatile—easily moved to sunny spots, shady areas, or even indoors as needed. [I do this with tomatoes and other plants]

    Optimize Soil Health
    Healthy, well-drained soil holds moisture better in heat and protects roots from frost damage in winter. Regularly add compost to enrich soil.

    Use #ColdFrames or #Greenhouses
    These structures create a controlled environment, extending the growing season and protecting plants from temperature extremes.

    Keep an Eye on Weather Patterns
    Staying informed about sudden temperature changes can help you take timely action, like covering plants or adjusting watering schedules.

    With these tips, you can create a resilient garden that adapts to extreme weather challenges while keeping your plants thriving."

By choosing cold-tolerant, hardy vegetables, you’ll be able to enjoy fresh, homegrown produce sooner—and all while keeping things organic!

    Here’s our list of the top 10 cool-weather vegetables to plant in early spring, along with tips on how to grow them organically."

  7. Oh, this is too good not to share for an early #SolarPunkSunday ... I just heard about this on the local news. Wow!!!

    #ResilientYards in #SouthPortlandME

    "The goal of Resilient Yards is to continue to promote landcare practices that bolster South Portland’s community and #ecosystem #resilience. Volunteer coaches offer personalized guidance, advice, and support to South Portland residents to transition their yards into resilient landscapes. Once paired together, coaches and participants discuss site needs, set up scheduling, and install gardens at each site. We provide each yard with free #compost, #mulch, and a set of 8 #NativePlants.

    Native plants require less maintenance, support #biodiversity, and build #ecosystem #resilience. The program also builds #SocialResilience, as South Portland neighbors connect through sharing advice and resources.

    Program Impact

    Since we launched our inaugural 100 Resilient Yards program in 2023, we have helped 230 Resilient Yards participants, who, with the support of 65 volunteer coaches, have planted a total of 1,352 native #pollinator plants in yards across South Portland."

  9. #NoDig #OhneUmgraben
    Das sind interessante Hashtags!
    Wenn die Methode konsequent angewendet wird, auch ohne auf Kunststoffen basierende Hilfsmittel zurückzugreifen, dann dauert manches vielleicht etwas länger, aber es wird gut!
    Mechanisierung wird schwieriger.
    Aber der durch #Fossilismus kraftstoffintensive und zukraftbetonte Ackerbau könnte ad acta gelegt werden.
    Das ist auch #SolarPunk , nur die zweite Seite der wichtigen Entwicklung.

  10. 5 Ways to Use #FallenTrees, According to Arborists

    Don't let a fallen tree go to waste.

    By Michelle Mastro
    Published on February 18, 2026

    "A dead tree lying in the middle of your yard can detract from your home’s overall beauty. But before having it hauled away and disposed of, consider the many ways you can give it a second life. From turning leaves into garden mulch to repurposing the trunk into a beautiful garden path, using fallen trees in the garden is a sustainable practice that helps your green spaces thrive. Ahead, arborists share the genius ways they’ve used fallen trees to support plants and local wildlife.

    [...]

    "Consider allowing the tree to decompose naturally to support fungi and surrounding trees. 'Retaining a certain amount of dead wood within an environment can allow the surrounding trees to benefit,' Middleton says. Some fungi will take the easiest opportunity available to them, utilizing the dead tree rather than 'attacking' healthy, standing trees, he says.

    "At the same time, dead wood is also incredibly valuable to #wildlife, supporting #biodiversity by providing shelter, nesting, and food sources for birds, insects, and small mammals. In fact, fallen trees are a favorite feeding spot of pileated #woodpeckers, who love the #CarpenterAnts often found there.

  11. #India - Backyard nutrition gardens- For family nutrition and income

    In rainfed agriculture, where farm livelihoods are highly vulnerable to climate vagaries, alternative farm based enterprises go a long way in providing the necessary support for #farmers to remain in farming. Backyard kitchen garden is one such enterprise which meets multiple needs like food, income and nutrition security, besides empowering women.

    September 2025

    Excerpt: "A key intervention was to help farm women raise kitchen gardens in their backyard. These kitchen gardens are meant to increase #FoodDiversity in the diets of the participating families and reduce reliance on the market for introduced vegetables. Each interested household was provided with a kitchen garden kit containing around 10-13 types of vegetable seeds. By raising kitchen gardens, women were able to harvest many types of seasonal vegetables.

    "During 2023-24, kitchen garden kits with 13 different varieties of vegetables were given to 70 group members. For those who had sown seeds early in the season, owing to excessive rains, the seeds didn’t germinate. But around 40% of the women who took up late sowing, could harvest vegetables from the gardens. Women have done #composting with kitchen waste, garden clippings, and dry leaves to create rich organic #compost. This compost is used to fertilize the garden beds. They also prepared organic liquid fertilizers like #Panchagavya and #Jeevamruta to increase immunity and promote plant growth. To manage pest and diseases, they used #NeemOil spray as #NaturalPesticides. Organic #mulch, such as straw and dried leaves, were applied around plants to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil health. Each of the households produced vegetables like #brinjal, #bhendi, #tomato, #gourds, #cucumber, #radish and green #vegetables. On an average each household produced vegetables worth Rs.2500-3500 in a season.

    "Again, 2024 has been a year of heavy rainfall for Dharwad district. Untimely rains caused havoc, damaging crops. Farmers had to face crop losses and in such a situation around 25 women farmers raised nutrition qardens in their backyard. Each household produced vegetables worth Rs.3000-4000 in a season. Kitchen gardens served as a boon to these families facing #FoodShortages due to crop loss."
