Crevice Garden Build including Reptile Hibernaculum, Recycling Concrete into a Cactus Garden
One year in the making, this episode documents my construction of a crevice/crack/rock garden built primarily out of recycled concrete rubble aka urbanite. I also incorporated a reptile hibernaculum, or hibernation den/chamber into the build. In addition, I also briefly discuss building a second reptile or amphibian hibernation chamber from only wood and wood products. This rubble crevice garden was heavily inspired by the recycled concrete crevice garden built by Plant Delights Nursery. However, their concrete consists of slabs of fairly regular size, while my rubble is irregular rough chunks more resembling tufa than anything else.

Interesting crop. It has potential for uses. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Inspiring video on growing potatoes.
I grew the species Canna musaefolia in Florida and it was much taller and multiplied like running Bamboo. Nice dark cultivar you selected.
Interesting video. I have grown Crinums most of my life, older now, and I have found Crinum bulbispermum to be hardy in my zone 5 climate of western north carolina. I think what you have as Crinum bulbispermum might be a hybrid. Mine sets seeds for me. The seedlings don’t survive the winters. I have to grow them in pots and store in basement. Once larger they always survive the winters. I have found that when larger the plants pull the bulbs deeper in the soil and then they are able to survive the freezing soil. The top parts of the bulbs can be damaged in severe winters but recover and bloom the following season. I have planted hundreds of varieties with only a few of my hybrids surviving the zone 5 winters. Anyway, it is good to see others growing Crinums. I spent decades hybriding them in Florida, before moving to the mountains. Roy

This sort of building is very cool I love all of your content and found it recently. I'm watching in anticipation for updates on your many projects.
So informational and well done. Thank you!
I saw that too. I'm tired of thinking about what it could have been and not finding the answer and I will never forget it. Feels like a mental torture.
Just to clarify the processing: - White tea/green tea is directly pan fried (China)/steamed (Japan) after harvesting. So the enzymes which make the tea oxidise are destroyed. The difference between white and green tea is, that white tea usually are only leaf buds (silver needle tea) or leaf buds with one, maximum two small leafs (white peony). The leaf buds have whiteish hairs, hence the denotation white. Green tea is processing wise the same as stated above (there are different techniques of "rolling" the tea though, some dont even get rolled at all (for example lung ching)), but its usually the first 2-5 (open) leafs of the plant. - Black tea (in China: red tea) is fully oxidized (aka withered) tea, it usually gets broken up a bit/rolled after harvesting so the oxidation process is quicker and more even. This is a bit harder to do since you dont want the tea to go moldy. - Oolong tea is an inbetween tea, it is partly oxidized, from a few hours up to several days and only then gets heated up (usually fried), its the kind of tea you did in the video. Since you have some margin for the time and the processing (you could roll the leafs for example) you can have very different results which makes Oolong tea one of the most diverse. - Pu Erh tea (black tea in China) is fully oxidized plus fermented tea. This is done by pressing the tea leafs into "cakes" and letting them first wither, then ferment in very special and stable temperature/humidity conditions, aka letting it ripe, this can take from months to years even. An interesting fact is, that for most teas the tea plants are pruned back regularly so you get compact bushes whereas for Pu Erh tea they usually use fully grown tea "trees" which can become rather old. They also use older and bigger leafs for that one, not only the tips. So really, you cant go wrong unless you burn it while drying or letting it go moldy. There are countless ways to make your very own delicious tea. Also a tip for brewing: a rule of thumb is to brew apx 12g/litre for 2 minutes but more important is the temperature: you dont want to brew green or white tea with boiling water. Usually you take 60-80 C for green tea (a safe place to start always seems at like 70C), for white tea you can go more like 70-80 C. Oolong typically would be 80-95 C whereas Black tea and Pu Erh for the most part is recommended to be brewed with 100 C. You really can tell if you brewed it too hot if it tastes bitter; no tea ever should taste bitter, not even green tea, it just is brewed way too hot oftenly! Normally tea tastes floral sweet and earthy, sometimes malty and vegetal. Anyways, you got this! ;) Hope I could clarify a bit. Cheers!
One question, can I make tea directly with the green leaves that have just been picked? What is the need to dry the leaf to then make tea? Wouldn't the benefits be the same? Or even better by placing the harvested green leaves directly in hot water?
@@agoranoX Yep you definitely can! The difference is mostly in taste. When it comes to health benefits white and green teas (also fresh tea leafs) are the most healthy, followed by oolong. Black tea is not as healthy as the before mentioned (although its definitely not unhealthy) it just loses many of the really healthy ingredients when withering fully. But obv it got another kind of taste than the other teas and is the longest lasting when it comes to storing (except for Pu Erh) so its a very common type of tea. Also, fresh tea cannot really be packed and stored for a long time, usually tea gets harvested in spring/early summer so you wouldnt be able to drink it in the rest of the year if youd only use fresh tea thats why its not a thing commercially. But even tea farmers rarely dring fresh tea, the steaming (Japan) or Roasting (China) adds its own flavours to the tea which alters the taste quite a bit. And remember: young tea leafs have a different tast than older ones, young ones are more fresh and sweet/vegetal and have more caffeine whereas older leafs are less aromatic (a bit more "flat" in taste) but have way less caffeine. But again -- you cant really do much wrong it mostly comes down to culture and taste really. There is even a kind of tea which only consists of the stems and leaf ribs (Kukicha).
Did you harvest any of the seeds from these? Heirlooms, correct?
I have pop sourgum seeds like popcorn they are little small the kids really like it
my stalks are dried still there outside, can i still peel and cook them down, Canada!
Sir, Madam,Where can we buy sorghum seeds ?
Curious to learn if sorghum can thrive in coastal climates. Many beef and dairy producers here on the Oregon coast rely on hay and alfalfa, but sorghum might be better(?) I love the cheese, ice-cream, and other dairy products grown here; and I love me some choice steak.
Please clarify 3 colors of sorghum??
Badgers eat mine in France! But I share because I like to see the badgers.
Can you replace Hazelnuts with these in Chocolate?
There is a grain variety of Huauzontle called Chia Roja "Red Chia" The seeds are all red and can be used like quinoa with less prep. It's rather hard to find online and is declining in people growing it. Luckily I found someone on Instagram who collected seeds for this variety. Maybe it can make a come back.
Irish spring works good for deer repellent , they hate it.
I grew some oaxacan green which had the nitrogen fixing roots which I might cross with Calhoun Creek red too see if it will retain it's nitrogen fixing trait.
Regarding your hedge that needs thickinging up …Cut the hedge low down and bend over. Look up ‘English hedge laying ‘
Ease of seed harvest is another good reason to grow Sorghum, just shake it!😊
I love how you integrate the artwork into this video. Very well-done video overall. I'm learning a lot.
Just came up on my feed….. very interesting. I live in the high desert of Nevada & my ground is Nothing but sand lol. I’m planning on trying my hand at growing some with amendments added of course . After watching this I think I may try the Texaco’s as it’s shorter. We get some outrageous winds 💨 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
I want to start clearing some land using chickens and goats. 2 acres to be exact. Roughly how many would you say I need of each and how long it would take? The grass is as tall as yours. Thanks.
I'd be curious to know what the tea would be like if brewed from mature, to very mature leaves.
I process my green tea from the mature leaves. I pick and allow them to wilt for an hour. I use a dry wok to roast the leaves. After cooling, I pulse the tea in a food processor. It’s ready to use. The tea has a wonderful fresh, grassy flavor. It’s the best green tea I’ve ever had. Totally worth it !
Unless you do the kill green phase early it's not a green tea - this tea was left and some leaves have oxidised so you could argue it more a white tea but it doesn't quite fit any catagory
I live in Egypt on our desert farm and we have these. Thanks to you i can give them a name! 👍
They do not overwinter in our area (Ohio River Valley 6a/b (Cincinnati-ish)) ... at least not invasively. In a mold winter with no long-term hard freeze -which happens here once in a while - you'll get onsie-twosie per hundred or so to survive over Winter.
Are they easy to germinate?
@@definitelyp8652 I mean - stick 'em in the ground and wait. Germ rates and quality are gonna 100% depend on your seed source.
@@SgtSnausages Thanks will try etsy not sure who has them. Company on video doesn't carry them.
Я таких длинных серёжек на фундуке ещё не видел
Magnificent birds really! The cubalaya (among others) are wonderful birds. Do they only thrive under warm climates?
👍👍
Very interesting video. I’m interested in coppicing willow for firewood. Do you have any experience with that?
Great video! Will sorghum grow in moist conditions? I have an artisan spring that keeps a low area on my property in standing water. I am going to try growing wild rice in the water for the wood ducks. It’s the damp ground around this water where I want to create cover and food for wildlife throughout the winter. I am in northern Wisconsin
thank you!! Heading out to plant both my Texacoa and White Dwarf Sorghum.
If they fight the chickens, keep them separated. You clip the wings off one one side not both, this way the uneveness keeps them from flying. Wow you are really negative!
Sorghum seed sounds surprisingly like hemp seed. The stalks of hemp are used for fiber instead of feed or sugar, though.
I'm gluten deprived, and my favorite bread recipe of all time is, "Tom's gluten free sandwich bread," recipe and it uses sorghum flower. Type "tom's..." in your browser if it shows sorghum flower as the first ingredient you've got it.
I'm not sure why I've never heard of sorghum, but I just looked it up and I see syrup, grains & popcorn. Wow! Thank you!
How do you seperate the hull?
I love feeding birds seeds in my backyard. I was surprised how fast the uneaten Sorghum seeds sprouted all over the yard, wherever I moved my bird feeder station to. I ended up with a shorter plant in some areas, to the very tall plant in others. After watching this video, I plan on harvesting the seeds.
When you store them dry, can you plant them the next year dry? Interesting they store in the soil just fine over winter and don't mold.
Yes, they can be planted out the following year after being dried. I would typically soak in water until they swell and then plant. In my climate the cultivated form isn’t cold Hardy and doesn’t overwinter so they can’t be stored in the ground.
Thanks! Mine overwinter in my little nursery in pots. Harvesting is a big pain, and the yield per area as you say is low. I was looking to see if perhaps I could grow them hydroponically or something where they aren't such a pain to harvest. @@esotericagriculture6643

That explosive concussion at the beginning is unnecessary and off-putting when one has set volume levels appropriate for speech. Think of folk who have to wear hearing aids or those who choose to wear headphones. Didn't watch after that.
Thank you! I am looking into planting sorghum next year, and now I now the name of a less bitter white variety!
Interesting, but dizzying; at least get a basic tripod. Please, for anymore.
Yes, fair criticism. I made these videos some time ago and my challenge was to only use an iPhone. Much better results could be had with more and better equipment for sure.
WTF! To be honest.
this is a very interesting and troublesome topic... it was explained to me by a u.s.a. arborist that to start pollarding a heading cut was made on third year wood. this would encourage latent buds to sprout. then at intervals the watersprouts would be removed with proper pruning cuts at the branch collar. this would provide shoots and make the tree more manageable in terms of liability and dominating the infrastructure. i enjoy your approach. many people top trees at very large places, even entire trees to the trunk, not realizing the harm to the tree and resulting threat to people and property caused by uncompartmentalised wood rotting and weakly attached shoots. sorry for the rant. hope all is well and that you are still active on youtube. i am curious about grafting between shoots as a way to make panels for living structures or even lumber
