I love this! Big points on that worm farm! So many ppl miss out on how valuable worm castings are. Looks like you've got some happy plants.

I'll try and post some cool planting guilds you might be interested (include many of those plants).

Happy to share more (sry been trying to type this through the day) what kind of things are you growing?

2- Soil test in the spring and the fall. Focus on building soil composition (the balance of sand silt and clay) vs just nutrients and ph. Add organic matter, and explore watering with compost tea. Sandy soils tend to dry out faster and not hold nutrients well.

Oh lots!! Buckle in because this is turning into a thread ❤️‍🔥
1- Pine trees drop needles that are great as mulch and basket weaving. What most ppl don't realize is (depending on the type of pine) those needles are acidic. Meaning as they decompose, they lower your soil ph naturally. Too low ph =👎

I just LOOOOOOVE you and your content!!!💯

Even almost a year later, yep. I still feel this 🫂

I started my entire garden (now farming) journey by learning what birds mean.

An influx of barn swallows often == insects are about to boom.🐦

Goldfinches and sparrows == healthy soil and seed diversity.🌱

Aphids mean there's a nitrogen imbalance, which attracts chickadees.🪲

Another thing, garden wise, often times there will be someone in the group that knows a lot about a thing (like a bird, insect, or plant) and they aren't usually first to share. Look for the person with knowledge and listen to their stories. That's where the magic is 👌

Hell yea way to go!!! ❤️‍🔥Something that helped me when I first started connecting with community, is connection doesn't always mean talking or engaging with ppl. It's helping others while honoring your energy limits in the process. Small acts and noticing others matter too.

THAT'S the tiniest middle finger ever! BWAHAHA
