This Vegetable Can Feed An Army (And Why You Should Grow It)
This was the first year I tried growing mashua. I've tried one variety so far but I'm intrigued to try more.
I've seen some diverse way of cooking it. I've had it boiled, fried, roasted and raw. Raw it has a liquorice, peppery taste. I've also seen it boiled and mixed into a "batido de mashua" or milkshake as a tonic for the prostate. I've yet to try it.

Tomatoes Outdoors UK Follow These Steps To Increase Success
Переглядів 2,8 тис.4 місяці тому
Outdoor tomatoes are the most popular UK summer veg to grow. I know they’re a fruit but you get what I mean. They’re actually quite high effort and that’s why it’s surprising that so many first-time gardeners start off with growing them. There are easier things to try. But do they reward that effort? Some years, yes, others no. This also depends on where in the UK you are based. The biggest pie...

Neglected Allotment 4 Months Later. Bean Too Long

The weather has been so odd this year. Everywhere in the world seems to have the wrong amount of water. Floods or drought and not much in between. A cold and wet start to June meant the slugs were eating everything! So I'm starting a lot of stuff again. How have your allotments/gardens been coming along? What's done well and what's been a struggle?

Overgrown Allotment Progress: Planting

On this overgrown allotment site I managed to get some crops in the ground. I planted some seed potatoes. Desiree as a main crop, indeterminate potato and Jazzy - a second early determinate variety, I managed to get some globe artichokes too as well as some Jerusalem artichokes or sunchokes. I also put in some of the broad beans I had at home. This could all be a bit premature but who cares? Th...

This article has really kicked up a stink. Some were suggesting some nefarious agenda of the science but that seems highly unlikely.

The only part in the article I found surprising was the suggestion that “recycled materials” should be used. I don...

Wow! Very interesting and look like yams and Jerusalem artichokes! 😊
Really instresting to see your meadow really isn’t working My cottage garden that was grass and it’s clay and the sowing of cornfield mix was absolutely stunning , and I mean stunning I have now sown in a native local mix which is more grass based but like you say you need to know what to expect Some soil is just not right
I bought two samurai ichigeki and the samurai for pruning the one with a hook
Thanks, I appreciated both your honesty and sense of fun. In the past I ran a wildflower business, where we were pioneers in the raising of wildflowers as plug plants. As that was the late 80s thru to early 2000s, it was a niche within a niche. We grew the business by firstly putting together the stock from a range of other indigenous nurseries to create a one -stop shopping place for (almost) the complete portfolio of British plants and seeds. Increasingly clients wanted advice, design and installation of habitat creation (now called ‘Rewilding’) projects. This covered not only wildflower meadows, but a medley of other techniques to create / enrich biodiversity. On wildflower meadows our key learnings are 1. Initial soil analysis is important. The most important measure of fertility is available phosphate. If the level is below 10 ppm, the situation is set fair for meadow rich in wildflowers. As the P parts / million increase, more management is needed. 2. Securing seed from a local donor site - eg using a brush harvest or really helps with establishment as the germ plasm is so finely tuned to the local conditions. 3. Techniques for successfully handling high fertility include a. removing top soil (we did this, plus local seed harvesting, which lowered P from 21 ppm to 6 ppm, this now (20 years on) has a species density of 55 sp/m2, compared to the fields which were sown with the same cocktail but without the top soil removal have 20-25 sp/m2, compared with the untreated permanent pasture on the sit 10 - 12 sp/m2. b. Increase the number of cuts/grazes, from in the summer, to an aftermath cut autumn/winter, plus (if necessary) a spring cut - which shortens the sward, and (marginally) delays flowering c. Introducing as plants those strong, robust wildflowers which can can handle high fertility (mainly because the grow tall) such as meadow cranesbill, red campion, greater and black knapweed, tufted vetch, and cowslip (which does its photosynthesis in the spring before the grass dominates. C. Sowing yellow rattle - key learnings sow soon after seed set (circa August 12) into grass sward no need to create any seed bed, avoid walking on them from February. Hope that helps in some small way.
I kinda see the point you are making. I think expecting us to have some superhuman terraforming capabilities is a bit unrealistic. But recognizing the right conditions and picking the plants accordingly will help a lot. There's a video on my channel if you're interested "Creating a beautiful and diverse wildfower meadow" (in finnish, eng sub) and I've had great success with several of my meadows.
The robust you have there is part of the craftline. There are all kind of pro craftsman tools, like chisel knives, electrician knives , and so on. The hole in the back of the clip fits exactly with the knob on the front of the sheath, so you can clip two or more knives together nd carry them stacked, if needs be
Lembra o inhame?
I've been composting for years, the only thing I don't put in mine is meat, i don't want any critters. And in the summer I will go around and pick up bags leave that people put out to the curbside to add to my compost.
Do you know ,i feel for probably for the whole of our world economics etc if all of our kind of solid rubbish plastic etc was all shredded it could be used on roads pathways house roofs insulation etc etc ,the amounts of money we could save its xxxx there's so much wastages
What are the purple flowers?
The anaphrodisiac effects and 45% drop in testosterone upon consumption make this little tuber a hard pass for me. As a topical wound healing gel , it hold my interest.
It looks like it has a potential to become invasive. I'd be really careful how much you spead the plant
The leaves look kinda like Nasturtia at 1:10.
your volume is all over the place - very annoying
You could cut turf with it.
The panels look so flimsy.
Brussel sprout like flavor with a flowery aftertaste that causes big drops in testosterone (and sex drive) along with having compounds that bind cannabinoid receptors (aka thc receptors, specifically cb1). Nope. And I find the taste revolting.
Thanks for taking the time to review this - I was sniffing at buying one earlier this month - still on the fence though to be honest
The vixen of vegetables likes being lightly tied up and there are pickling proclivities. The greenhouse is not entirely unheated.
Never heard of this but i love trying new veg. Hopefully i can find some
Somewhere to 💩 and have a brew 😂😂
Love watching your vids and progress. Thanks ❤
Esto le conocemos con el nombre de Tupinambo aquí en España
Is it like turmeric?
I used to live in Nahsua, so I'm convinced.
Wie ist die Frostfestigkeit? Das ist ganz entscheidend, wenn man nicht in den Tropen wohnt. Mir scheint auch, dass man die Pflanze nie wieder los wird, wenn man sie einmal im Garten hat. Ich halte sie für ausgesprochen invasiv.
Reportedly it’s also an anaphodesiac ( Incan warlords gave it to their troops so they would “forget their wives”). So it had better taste *really* good!!
Add urine to get it going and if it slows down before you want … your own is best in this case 🤣
We grow these here in France, as well as topinambour, which can produce nearly the same crop given the right soil and weather.
Where can you get them?
The Hori-Hori Knife thing was originally designed by the Japanese to use it when digging for edible plants in deep mountains, so it is lightweight and multi-functional. But if you're just using it in your yard, there are certainly plenty of other, more specialized tools available.
I tried them when i lived in Colombia. They have a disgustingly slimey texture and taste rank. I've since found they are extremely high in hormones, which mimic female estrogen, so not recommended for men

Where can you buy seeds?
How about that multitude of leaves? I've read that they make a good substitute for sautéed spinach. I wonder how they are raw, as a salad green.
Latexto the party, but congratulations.
Hey ducon, ua-cam.com/video/Km1j_-Ia-Zc/v-deo.htmlsi=UwqNdiduf7sYAoGi
When you plant things that vine set up a space to let them run on the ground. I did this with sweet potatoes also and let them be in the ground for a year end to next harvest. When I wanted them I dug up a patch of them
Just had a thought. You should not run them up a pole. Let them run on the ground and you would get more tubers because each knuckle of the vine roots. Bigger yield this way. Have a great day.
Yeah animals and wildlife can adapt but evolution takes very very long some times... I agree people shouldn't tell others what to plant based on an arbitrary list but going native seems ok for me though. It is the way things evolved and changes in natures take far longer than in a human scale. If the plant can thrive here maybe it will get its time to shine in the future without risking to wreck an ecosystem we barely understand just because it looks pretty. That is precisely why the environment is as damaged as it is. Becuse the lack of proper respect for nature as it is and the vanity of thinking we know better. There are generalist and specialist species too Some alien plants weren't invasive at first but "escaped" later and did serious fast changes to the ecosystem. If we plant natives in our gardens they might spread to other areas, so planting endangered native plants is very much better than other options... And that is a good starting point for people to garden in my opinion. We won't fix this alone but it's a start. Our garden is part of the nature and landscape
This is the absolute opposite of what I’ve found to be true. I had a garden abundant with different garden flowers (the usual - dahlias, rudbeckia, echinacea, etc) and since I have created a wildflower space I’ve seen insects and birds I’ve never seen in my garden before in substantial numbers.

Li trovi prima o dopo fioritura?
Se è nasturzio da noi trova meno abitat adatto perché no. Cresce cosi,ma non ho mai fatto caso al sottoterra come per topinambur ,avesse bulbi o...si mangia sicuramente tutta
Ok sono srrivati ,rimetyo da inizio.buon Anno
Si tratta di Nasturzio? In Italia ci dono molte piante che possono sfamare e Curare,facili da coltivare..ce le ha Create il BuonDio a noi sfruttarle.. Ho provato a mettere in impostazioni la lingua,ma ha solo tolto inglese da sottotitoli
Never heard of them before but probably wouldn't grow here. Gets mighty hot.
I didn't know it, it's the first time I heard about this plant; very interesting, from what I searched it is a superfood
