    I've already harvested over 200 gallons of dry mesquite pods in early July 2023.

    E-bike batteries can be charged direct from one's roof-top solar panels, so no fossil fuels are needed.
    And on an E-bike (unlike in an electric car) you weigh more than your vehicle, so the battery is mostly used to move you-not a super heavy vehicle.
    My cargo bicycle is an Xtracycle with wide loader shelves, though there are a great many other cargo bicycle to choose from. Try a bunch of them out to see which is best for you.

    Thank you for introducing this tree to me. I’ve been looking for a tree to plant on our land in Paso Robles. My grand parents dry farmed almonds but now those trees need to be irrigated in our climate. I’m also gluten-free and see how superior these native varieties can be.

      If Paso Robles, CA look to your native oak trees. There are amazing varieties indigenous to the area, and their acorns make great food for people, livestock, and wildlife.

    I am so excited I found you. Believe it or not I stumbled across the video that was done by Kirsten Dirksen about your property.
    As I watch this video I was all excited to harvest from my sad look mesquite as the pods were really sweet last year. Well because of the delayed summer here in Tucson, my pods were still green once the rain hit us. Is it too late to try to harvest them?

    does anybody know, does goat droppings contain any mesquite seeds or something like that? perhaps you could throw those droppings somewhere in desert, and start a new tree from that? greetings from germany

      I’ve never seen a larger seed pass through a goat or sheep. They ruminate and chew their food quite throughly.

    Grazing animals fertilize the soil so they should poop on the soil :)
