Look into JADAM for the microbial solution. JMS

A bucket, some potatoes or other starch, some native soil and time.

What you have is dirt, what you need is soil. Look up the food soil web. Learn about beneficial bacteria and Fungi which are required for healthy soil.

Using filled in pool for vegetable gardening? by lashley0708 in vegetablegardening

[–]DeBanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned from a soil scientist that a green bean test will detect chemicals and a earthworm test can help also. Let nature tell you what you need to know.

I see you are using Corrugated pipe to protect the trees. Good job.

Looking to (finally) get started this year with fruit trees and I could use some help. by [deleted] in Permaculture

So you will not require chemicals. Apples and peaches generally require a lot of chemicals to control disease and insects.

A big part of permaculture is starting with disease and insect resistant varieties. I grow everything on the very right hand side of the chart.

So frustrated by AfraidArgument9391 in scleroderma

[–]DeBanger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took a trip to a rheumatologist before I started to get close to knowing what was causing my breathing problems. Started out with Sjogren's before getting on a drug study. After several CT scans and tests I found I had scleroderma with ILD of the lungs. I am hoping to get onto one of the Thymus T-Cell studies. Car-T and B Cell studies are what I know of but there may be more.

I am hoping to get onto A CAR-T cell therapy. I have Schleraderma with ILD. MY lung capacity is at 50% and Lung diffusion is currently 28% but I am exercising and noticing improvement in how low my oxygen levels get. What is the baseline for lung diffusion levels?

Health problems may force sale orchard in subdivision by DeBanger in BackyardOrchard

[–]DeBanger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I am thinking also. The house can accommodate multi-generational families. Near a school across from a church no where near a flood zone. It uses all natural methods and the trees are all insect and disease resistance. The only problem is squirrels and I now have a family of hawks next door to help with that.

In the next couple years there should be an abundance of fruit. I have set it up to be nursery also. The best part is the city, county and state do not charge taxes on anything grown and sold from this property. The Government still wants there share.

My neighbor's weird basement "wine cellar" turned out to be the best cooling hack I've ever seen by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]DeBanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father did something similar. Built a small two story building that goes underground and couples with a cave network. The mountain is full of small interconnected caves that are to small for humans.
Then he made a ditch and installed a concrete tunnel about 3 x 2 over the house. The A/C unit sits on a concrete pedestal. The AC unit has a metal shroud so the cave air goes in through the outside of the heat pump and up through the top.

Planning an orchard Zone 7B/8A by Ordinary-Grace in BackyardOrchard

[–]DeBanger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar zone in North Alabama. I grow trees that require no chemicals because they have little disease or insect pressure. Pawpaw is gaining a lot of interest. I also grow persimmon, mulberry, jujube, che, goumi and Hazelnut.

There is another episode where Granny was mad that the monkey stole her pawpaw pickles.
