      Outside kitties typically have a lot of fleas. I wouldn't have them sleep with me. Watch to see if you start seeing flea bites on you. My old house was infested with fleas when I moved in and we still have them. We fight them daily. I have bites all over me because I sleep with 2 of my dogs and my kitty has them and she's inside. I tried flea medication on my dogs and it caused rashes on them so I just comb them and kill the fleas I catch in a small container of laundry detergent.....it's awful!

    Hi kids, Get your asparagus and artichokes planted ASAP. They take about 3-4 yrs to start to really produce. Kinda like trees. They multiply so they'll need a lot of their own space to live for years. Strawberries in a contained space need their own bed too. If you plant mint IN POTS and place everywhere to naturally repel rodents. Pots because if you plant in ground it spreads like wild fire and will take over the garden. Don't forget cat nip :)

    • @ginkodragon
      @ginkodragon Před 15 dny

    The kale you saw and touched are collard greens, “couves”. They do well in Portugal. They are a must in a Portuguese garden. They are used in Portuguese cuisine, especially for “caldo verde”, the popular Portuguese soup. You will find this soup in many Portuguese restaurants. Farmers also cut them, mix it with water and a bit of flour, and feed them to the chickens.

    Hi Drew , here is what we used to break up and release the goodness in clay. Gypsum Clay Breaker helps improve the physical condition of heavy clay soils. Soil particles are brought together into clumps, thus enabling better water penetration. Root development and the intake of other essential nutrients are assisted by this products' calcium content. I also use the cardboard method. Having a tarp and bunny cords are very handy to have in the car for the you buy straw. If you're growing blueberries, keep your coffee grounds, compost them in a worm farm to provide super food for the blueberries. I loved seeing your permaculture guy at work. He sounds quite a learned and practiced gent. His knowledge ia like gold. I love Ruth Stout.

      Viajamos pelo mundo durante vários anos e achamos que este é o melhor clima do mundo. É complicado porque muitos portugueses têm tanto interesse pela agricultura e jardinagem e se afastaram de áreas tão bonitas. Nossa esperança é que inspiremos alguns a voltarem a se adaptar a esse tipo de estilo de vida. 🇵🇹

    Glad your getting help in the garden, compost tea is smart natural way to feed your plants. If you add a bubbler stone it helps mix and oxygenate it as well
    Please learn from my own past mistakes. Your terraces are very rocky (aka dirt) and you may have issues getting them to hold moisture, a 2-3 inch layer of sand with another few inches of topsoil on top will go long way to help you get the most of them.. I would just push the extra dirt downhill from digging the holes, and leave the hole so when you layer new SOIL in it fills said holes.. talk with others about a good run off plan as well, swells on the edge work well if you add drain tile over flow along them before backfilling. Mesh fabric is great along the hillside face to help control run off on them, as the plants grow through them it helps hold it all in place.
    Love the extra large terrace, be nice place for a small barn in the future and grass to raise a few animals on.
    P.s. You can cut the cost on topsoil alot by talking to local farmers and asking to by up any old mature piles, you can then mix it with straw and alot less top soil for a great top layer for you terraces. Warning though if it really fresh you may need to let it leach out a season so it's not to hot (nitrogen rich) for you plants and causes with them.

    Look at you guys. You're gardeners! So proud :) And thank you, Terry! Love it! He knows what he's doing and passionate about the land. What a great resource, mentor and educator. Thx for paying it forward. Yes, lots and lots and lots of cardboard :) How great you could get cardboard already broken down and bundled. I've done a lot of dumpster diving for cardboard over the years. Newspaper can work, too, for smaller projects. Don't you love heavy equipment 💖 Before you know it, you'll be growing broccoli sprouts and microgreens 😏 Oh, and love nurseries... before long, you'll join the rest of us in the Plant Addicts Anonymous Club ;) PS:: A good cypress variety is Emerald Green Thuja.

    Wow, I had no idea how much was involved in organic planting. Thank you for the education. Your terraces are going to look amazing when all is said and done. Can’t wait to see it develop as the months go by.🥰

    I would suggest that all that mulch from the eucalyptus could be used for your paths and walkways in the garden. Since it is slower to break down and more oily it will also do well in keeping the weeds down. Lay it out thick. I’m enjoying watching your work with the land.
