  3. Just imagine eating #organicfoods straight from your own garden. Today, I tasted our own potatoes, and honestly they were so delicious.

    They are not fully ready for harvest yet, but at least no one in the @econetwork group can sleep hungry. We have a place to learn grow and always find something to eat.

    Farmers truly enjoy organic foods hhhh 🥔

  8. Now you see me smiling, standing in such a beautiful place, and you might ask what is making me smile. I think I can just stay quiet and let nature speak for itself.

    The rich land, the crops growing in it, and the cool #environment will give you the real and satisfying answer.

    What do you think? 😊

  9. Preparing to shut down the garden for summer as temps just hit 110s (after a week of perfect 70s no less). Pulled what corn I could, only four ears matured this season but we'll dry and store it and try again at the end of summer. The squash are still holding on, most of the sunflowers are about ready to cut and bag, and I'll be caging the tomatoes to see if they'll produce through the summer. Our kale is little but I'll be cutting it this week, and there are a few onions to pull and age also. With that, the garden will be just about ready to turn over to the chickens for the season!

    Nopales harvest is officially done: our yield was 14 pounds all said, and I could have cut more while still leaving pads to grow on the cacti, but I maxxed out my capacity for cleaning and preparing them for storage. We gave some away, have some still fresh in the fridge (what we haven't cooked already) and I have 7 quarts of nopalitos fermenting on the shelf.

    It's so odd how inverted our seasons are compared to most of you: as you enter your season of fertility we are mostly shutting down, preparing to rest the land through its harshest months before having another growing season in late summer. Though we aren't done! The mesquite pods come mature around the solstice, and in July or August las tunas (prickly pear fruits) will be ready for harvest also.

  19. We experimented with hydroponic fodder farming using reused plastic waste, water, and grain — and these are the results after only a few days. Turning “trash” into food while reducing waste and saving space feels powerful.
    Could small ideas like this help communities fight feed shortages and plastic pollution at the same time?

  21. Healing the ground we broke

    Published July 1, 2024

    "After Europeans colonized America, their descendants plowed their way across the continent, seeking prosperity through farming. But breaking up the soil – that had built up over many thousands of years – made it wash away. So some farmers are retiring their tilling equipment. Amble through #Kansas prairies and cornfields as we learn how treasuring the ground beneath our feet can lead to farms that better withstand #ClimateChange, use less #fertilizer and suck carbon out of the atmosphere."

  26. If you come across a well-established farm, don’t ignore it respect the time, money, and effort behind it and learn from it

    Setting up a regenerative farm is not easy. Our farm is still in progress, and we face real challenges like digging trenches only for them to get filled again after heavy rain.

  27. We successfully completed mulching our banana plantation, and the plants are now well organized. This was not easy for us because it was challenging to find enough grass for mulching, but we are happy we managed to finish it.

    Mulching helps in keeping moisture in the soil, improves soil fertility, reduces weed growth, and protects the plants from strong sun and heavy rain. This helps the bananas grow healthier and stronger.

  28. Mangoes and avocados are vital in the #ecosystem, provide #food for humans, #birds, and #animals while supporting #biodiversity. Their trees improve air quality, prevent #soil erosion, and offer shade. Conserving them means protecting trees, avoiding deforestation, and practicing #sustainablefarming. Planting more #fruit trees ensures a steady food supply, enhances the #environment, and supports #life. Everyone should grow and care for #trees.

  29. Hi everyone, we need advice from #farmers. We’re not experienced with growing potatoes. We found many already planted on our land, and now they’re flowering. We added soil around each plant as recommended just recently, but we are not sure what to do next. We really want a healthy first harvest 😊 Any guidance is welcome
