Urban Ecological Yarden Walk-through - Manitoba Urban Permaculture
Просмотров 4713 месяца назад
A walk-through of our 13 year old urban ecological design project. Last year we harvested $6000 worth of fruits, veggies, mushrooms, herbs, and medicine from our typically sized 50 x 100 foot urban property. Fully integrated water harvesting system - including storage tanks (6400 liters) and in the soil itself. Self-watering annual and perennial garden beds. We basically turned the whole front ...

Why Build a Garden When You Can Forage in an Ecosystem Instead?
Просмотров 299Год назад
Who waters, weeds, and plants the forest? Nature. So instead of a rigidly controlled garden, why not instead help initiate an ECOSYSTEM around your dwelling place? Soon enough you will find yourself to be just one more species that forages for its needs (food, fuel, fiber) inside the abundance.
Easy, Fast Way to Preserve Lots of Spring Greens
Просмотров 127Год назад
Lots of green things popping up in the spring (nettle, Canada violets, basswood leaves, garlic leaves, garlic chives, lambsquarters, gout weed...). This is an easy and fast way to preserve a lot of them for the winter. I've done something very similar with garlic scapes, just a rough chop. Full of flavour months later. Nothing like a taste of spring during a Manitoba February.

      Capillary action (try putting a cloth on the edge of a sink, only a tiny corner touching water - it soaks uphill), and the mycellium also transports it to trade with the plants, and the plants grow their roots down to the water (making them stronger and more resilient).

The way I look at it, that is one of the problems that a greywater system could solve - we would understand that we have to use detergents and body products etc that are not toxic to ourselves and the world we are a part of. Many products are available that biodegrade quickly and easily (you can even use the nuts from Horse chestnut or Ohio buckeye etc). This is one step towards a world we want to live in and leave for the next generation 👍

      @@ecologicaldesignurbanmanitoba I totally agree. That is why I am not for climate change. Climate has always changed and will always change weather we are on earth or not. What I worry abut is pollution but of course it not only does not make money big companies (pharma, agriculture, bankers, etc.) and their minions (politicians/govs) but it will also cost them money. so they rather fool us with climate change, cow fart, CO2 level nonsense, etc. Unfortunately many people fell for it and the real environment killer (pollution) is being ignored. If "they" really cared for the environment, they would stop making short lived stuff and go back to making stuff that last for generation. But no, they just want to sell and sell and sell garbage to us. They also fool us using "recycle" scam. over 95% of things we think we are recycling end up in the landfill and only a small percentage is being recycled. Also sometimes recycling takes more intense chemical and the damage it does is worse than just putting the thing in the landfill. That is unfortunate but that is what it has come to under their "leadership".. Sad and sick.

      @nbeizaie @morganhough1022 also worth adding that in Austraila (where water is scarce, and 6 million people use rainwater for all of their household water needs), greywater to garden installations are so common that there is a national standard for household products to certify them as 'Garden Safe'. So this type of set up has already been implemented and found to be highly beneficial in other places, we just need to learn from the existing examples.

I've also heard that the nettle 'needles' have a precursor for serotonin in them? Who knows... but they definitely have a long history of being rubbed onto painful joints to relieve the pain. They make my hands feel kinda tingly for a couple days after. Maybe I'm just "A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production", but I kind of like it?!

      @@samivelable It depends :). The raised beds wick a lot of their moisture up out of the 'irrigation trails'. But first thing in spring, when the seedlings are still young and their roots are small, we do need to do some hand watering with jugs (or straight from the hose that comes off the rain barrels). But after the annual veggie roots get deeper, then they can access water in the 'irrigation trails' long after it has rained. Mulching the raised beds also helps reduce the need to water by hand and protect the plants, while feeding the soil. :)
