I couldn't get it to play, told me to switch of my virus protection and add blocker, I don't think so somehow.

 

:o how unfortunate... its a very good film.

theres the trailer, it gives the general idea.

 

watched it a while ago

thing is that the method will work if you grow things that are native to the area, and they will grow in the seasons that they normally grow

as soon as you start trying to grow things that are not from that local area, and that need different nutrients and soil ph etc, you have to compensate by fertilizing etc, otherwise you will not have much luck (even if you pray everynight)

 

i chipped up some wood today, got a wheelbarrow full :]
i think im going to run a trial bed, and see how it works out

 

just make sure that the woodchip does not 'leach' the nitrogen from the soil

 

hmm maybe i should water the woodchipped bed with some high nitrogen miracle grow? i wont plant into it yet, im going to leave it a couple of weeks

 

it's good that you are willing to experiment .... google about high brix gardening ... thats the way to go IMHO, and that is what I am tring to achieve

here are a few tasters:
