Lads, it’s nearly the last part of the early spring. Humanity at large decries that we need a continuing /HGG/ thread for our survival and independence.
This year (Zone 8b) I’ve planted 2 olive trees, a Greek Koroneiki, and Spanish Arbequina, as well as an LSU purple fig tree.
I’m using the biodrilling method (yes it’s real) with daikon radishes and soraya sunflowers to grow and decompose in the hard clay soil. These will decompose and create pockets for the roots of the trees to grow in, as well as provide nutrients from the decomposed plants and vegetables, without needing to till the soil and grassy area.
Along with my soaker hose, compost, perlite and cardboard setup to smother the grass and protect the soil around the new trees, I have a goal of an enclosed structure with mesh to keep birds out, and more complimentary plants and vegetables.
What are you anons working on?
