you rock man! cannot wait to meet you some day man, my farm is coming together slowly and surely! Spoke to a local store about my mushrooms and starter plants and stuff I have been developing for over 3 yrs at home in my spare time between HVAC and maintenance work (which will help tremendously in all my workings.) They are totally into everything I am doing and hyped me up to get producing for them. I am building up the life cycle around me in its entirety and am aiming to further prove that profitable, sustainable, biodiverse, and hopefully overall carbon sequestering farming is possible! Much love man You are a true light in the dark, dogg
they are just like beans when cooked from dry and cook faster too. its not as pungent as the commercial cowpea if you grow certain good tasting varieties... i grow cowpeas too :} our faves are black cowpeas, blue goose, and stick up :}
Gosh you are such a pleasure to listen to ! You sound a bit like Adam Haritan from the Learn You Land channel. Long lost brothers perhaps ? lol Thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge with us!
Thank you! Makeda has done incredible things that I lent a helping hand here and there ;) I helped expand the garden last summer and Makeda had the fence moved forward protecting the expansion :) I hope more of the park becomes edible!!
I have this invasive grass taking over my backyard, here in San Diego. It has rhizomes and is super frustrating to deal with. What should be my next move?
Smother them & change the pH with compost tea so they cannot thrive. Weeds which are almost all invasive grasses prefer high nitrates (alkaline soil conditions), so if you add compost tea that can rapidly change. Also, if it's rhizomes - it's likely trying to bind the soil together, so it's trying to be a reparative mechanism in that system. We have to do that repair if we want that grass to abate. We have to add organic matter back, soil life back, and then bring in the heavy planting of crops that smother grasses like legumes :)
I want to eat iron clay pea leaves . I want to grind up about a 1/2 - 2/3 gallon of them in my Norwalk and add some maple syrup and Dry malt extract . Is that OK ?
I ground 3/4 lbs( leaves with some stems ) using the largest 'grid size and added 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1/4 cup DME . im eating it like pudding and already I'm feeling the vibrant strength and energy coursing through my blood ( before this all I have had to day is tomatoes ) I been working hard since 3 am its now 11: 17 am :) ^^^^
Thanks for the videos bro. They are very inspirational and I like your style.

I was born in San Diego and a lot of my family lives there... I love Balboa Park

Ever try Garlic Mustard? it grows wild here in our area in NJ
I'm doing the work!
The black-eyed pea is a subspecies of the cowpea.
Ha! "The year of the cowpea." It's ALWAYS the year of the cow pea! 😂😝
good job

On it, thanks Matt!
What Matt said, but try some kind of lasagna bed with a cardboard layer bed to start growing over these kind of areas… I had same thing.
make a vid about native plants with crops
My bud Steve lives in San Diego and has a small yard are there any types of watermelon that work in small places and heat ?
I'm confused. you're living in San Diego now?
KonMan there's tons that will work - look for drought tolerant or desert type watermelons. They are originally from an arid climate.
David Atchison just north of there yes! :)
