Raising a Greenhouse Together
มุมมอง 355ปีที่แล้ว
Farming Falmouth started a test garden in 2023 to grow fresh food for Service Center client families who need it most. That little 1/16 of an acre yielded more than 1000 pounds! Our volunteers got together and pieced together a recycled greenhouse, and in 2024 we plan to QUADRUPLE our service yield. Come watch the build!

You could think about a small flock of sheep to graze the laneways WITH a follow-up flock of mixed chickens, ducks and geese (they will keep down pests) follow the bird flock after moving the sheep to a new strip. Btw, don’t mow your lanes, let them grow, when you mow, the insects migrate into the trees, if you have sheep and the bird flock, then they will mow as they strip graze and the insects will either be eaten or go to the next strip. You can control the sheep on the trees either by training them to electric fences, conventional movable fences or putting guards on the trees.
Interesting comments! We're gonna get this feedback to the orchard steward.
So good to see, until Prohibition EVERY community except the desert ones had orchards, the wowsers ripped out the Apple orchards at Prohibition because apples can make Hard Cider. Hopefully you also plant Pears and make cider from both.
I went to school with Andy. Tell Andy that DeWayne says hello. I hope he's well. =]
Really enjoyed this presentation, fascinating. Big fan of EF Schumacher and of course Masanobu Fukuoka. I feel there as a worldwide war against farming at the moment, and maybe this small movement will really take off and challenge the direction we seem to be headed, but I fear.
Howdy from Texas! Our zones are very different but soil is soil, bugs are bugs, etc everywhere. This is a wonderful teaching video for gardeners of all experience levels. So many details are so well explained. Many thanks for making this available to YT gardeners!
Wood chips on the surface of soil don't really rob nitrogen that much and what they take from the surface is not so much that plants would suffer as their roots would go well below the affected surface area. If tilled in however, the nitrogen could easily be depleted as the nitrogen gets tied up in the chip decomposition. 🙂
