What Is Brush?

This doesn’t look like an average garden or orchard, some might think it was overgrown and out of control. Does it look brushy to you?

I woke up this morning like normal, took care of the normal morning business and filled my mug and proceeded to head out for work. As I am making my way to the truck I notice a large pick-up truck with a tank of toxic gick on the back blow past my house. I wondered out loud what was up with that and Ma tells me, yeah, there were quite a few guys along the ditches with back pack sprayers on when I took Fish Taco to work this morning.

The Best Jelly You’ll Ever Put In Your Face

Ahh the blooms on the wild Mexican Plum tree. They bloom in early spring, and we have to worry our heads off over a late freeze and the spring storms that tend to roll through, taking all the blooms off. We are lucky enough to have two trees growing wild in our yard.

18 Day Compost Ala Geoff Lawton

Sorry that it’s been so long since I posted last but this is the busy time of year for being in the garden and making the magic happen.  As far as that goes, the sheet mulching that we did is working like a champ the garden is not doing so well and I think it has to to with the soil that I used when I planted.  In combination with the soil I mixed up and used we have also had a really sort of wet chilly spring.  Now, I’m not griping after the last 3 years we welcomed the cooler temps and moisture.  Anyhow this post is going to illustrate how I plan to remedy my soil woes by making the most kick ass 18 day compost in the manner that Geoff Lawton teaches on his Permaculture Soils  DVD.
