      Chaff cant be digested by humans, but it is good for some livestock feed and for tilling, it composts easily and can improve soil health. It is also used as a filling or stuffing in some textiles.

    Recycled cardboard is not a safe medium with which to grow mushrooms - it contains toxins from industry, adhesives and ink. Don't use plastic boxes - they all leach chemicals. Use wooden boxes and organics mediums like peat, compost, earth and coffee grounds. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should (particularly if it is for your own families consumption).

    "Its like a battery without any charge at the moment..." So its not biochar until you charge it. 🫤 Biggest mistake I keep seeing in these videos is calling the charcoal or activated carbon "biochar" right after the burn. It is not. Its just charcoal or activated carbon. Once you charge it by soaking it in compost tea, mixing it in compost, manure, worm castings, etc. THEN you have biochar.

      Too small. Plus, rats like flowing water nearby, they're very clean animals. This is why you find them in sewers and near waterways. Might be a mouse house if it were a bit bigger. We put big ones up in the community orchard, along with owl and falcon boxes. Perfect pest control!

    Unfortunately it's not simply the case of the import/export distances involved in using Coir based compost being offset by growing your own fruit/veg, because the washing processes involved that's needed to wash the Coir is massively intensive, using massive amounts of water and industrial machinery to fulfil this process, and is even being outsourced to the Low countries (Belgium/Holland), for companies within those countries to wash the Coir using inordinate amounts of water to get it clean enough for gardeners to use. The use of this massive amount of water is not good for the planet, and is doing as much damage as the use of Peat. I'm afraid a lot of these Peat free products, much like many, so called, eco friendly, is not the Panacea that we would be lead to believe, perhaps why the rest of Europe is not banning Peat based products just yet until a more sustainable and equally effective products to Peat are found. In addition to this, there really is no Standardisation' of Peat Free composts as yet, that have to suffer the same rigours as some other product. Without the 'Peat Free' side of things being industry standardised, it leaves loop holes, and short cuts in the manufacturing processes that could leave gardeners with substandard growth patterns and even worse. Once again, the UK is not so much 'leading the way', more 'jumping from the frying pan into the fire', with the rest of Europe looking on and saying 'let the UK make all the mistakes first'.

    quench the coals in the wheelbarrow when no more flames to increase your yield. Your charging has pretty limited life - best to add some compost or vermicast to it as well to increase the diversity of life way more. Important to charge char with nutrients AND life (biology)... Happy gardening!

    I am confused by this. I used to grow mushrooms for medicinal purposes when I was young, and I wore a face mask, sterilized my forearms and wore gloves. Is this not a necessary process? You don't get contaminated bags?

    I'm not working with much space But I dug down far as I could - 3 feet sounds not so deep but it is for clay I built up about a foot of an interwoven core with tons of sticks - puzzled em together to fit as much as possible Filled in the soil Later I dug down 2 feet to the old core & added another tight bundle of stick jenga Got my little scythe & got 4 biiiiiig bundles of dry tall grass - u can pack as much as u can carry into a very small space. & then I just recently raked 6 inches of soil back to build a third core layer . Highly reccomend going crazy with cores. U can set aside a bed just for building soil. Stretching & balancing store bought soil out by a lot. Pop some potatoes or Jerusalem artichokes or ginger or garlic in there in the meantime. Very fun to know thats all getting eaten up by worms. Only way i know of to really improve drainage - also depending on ur area it would either increase or decrease drainage to your needs depending on what ur burying

    Good job Girlies. Love your English accents. I, by accident, became a stinging nettles farmer this year. I've always had a very large patch of them in my backyard. I just let them grow and multiply. I always knew I could do something with them. This year after, some serious research, I discovered what a super food it really is. So I decided to make myself some tea. I actually liked it, better as an iced tea. So one day I took a gallon of it to work and told everyone about it's health benefits and told them to try some. I was soon bringing leaves to everyone and more gallons of tea to the office. Damn, this was work and I'm just giving everything away. I experimented with orange peal, mango leaves and I thought wow you can do anything with plant, even smoothies. I had visions of a small nettles bar down town. Girlies thank you for your inspiration. Sincerely Bubus de Nebraska
