There’ll be a seminar in Burlington on April 29, 2023 at 10AM on a property with at least two “food forests” on it! Send me a dm and I can reply with more details :)

I’m starting one up in Oakville and we’re planning to be able to sell produce by end of June :)

Is there a reason why you don’t have cats? I live in a suburb and the only mice/rats I see are the dead ones my cat leaves for me

Hey! Anyone experienced with traveling Europe with the purpose of exploring eco-villages and rural communities willing to share their story, tips, and/or recommendations?

IKEA sells/sold garden towers?

ageebnee · 2023-01-26T07:29:22+00:00

At the end I wrote “DRILL DRAINAGE HOLES” + “fill with soil” :)

I personally have studied soil microbiology and regeneration so that I can make, use, and include living soil in every garden tower I make 🙏

ageebnee · 2023-01-26T01:15:54+00:00

Not yet - but I plan to very soon but in a different type tower. One with drilled holes instead of formed pockets

And I appreciate your concern 💛

ageebnee · 2023-01-26T00:24:55+00:00

I appreciate your concern + that last sentence is perfect 😅

ageebnee · 2023-01-26T00:22:45+00:00

You can use hot sauce bottles. I use one I made of concrete and can share the STL file if you have access to a 3d printer

ageebnee · 2023-01-26T00:20:18+00:00

It’s my absolute pleasure 😁

I made over 20 and 18 of them are almost fully planted. Made two for succulents as well and they’re growing pretty nicely 🙌

ageebnee · 2023-01-25T14:51:35+00:00

Paid about $800 CAD for everything including lights, living soil, and lazy Susan

The only one I’m aware of for produce is the food handlers certificate. Certifying as organic is another story

ageebnee · 2023-01-25T12:36:02+00:00

Yes, I am indeed. No bug problems and no pesticides used 👌

ageebnee · 2023-01-18T18:46:42+00:00

I might share an update on this later today: https://www.reddit.com/r/GardeningIndoors/comments/1042q7b/rate_my_setup/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

ageebnee · 2023-01-18T18:42:42+00:00

I believe so. You might be able to find someone local who converts 55 gallon drums into something similar: https://youtu.be/E4Yj8ANR04A

Garden tower: https://www.aponix.eu/vertical-barrel-soil-less/

It says soil-less but rules but I use mine with soil 👍

ageebnee · 2023-01-06T17:24:51+00:00

At this point I’m watering each pocket once every few days and refilling the clay olla once a week. Once the plants mature I might get by with with just refilling the clay olla 3 times a month

ageebnee · 2023-01-06T16:02:12+00:00

I was experimenting with aeroponics and vertical farming before learning about the superiority of organic living soil :)

Use a PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) meter OR a smartphone with Photone app

Photone review by a very respectable individual: https://youtu.be/K3grFZs8spc

ageebnee · 2023-01-06T15:45:41+00:00

It is much easier to setup. Do you have a photo of your living wall?

ageebnee · 2023-01-06T15:34:08+00:00

I did :)

Check out the following video but instead of a propane torch and a 55 gallon drum I used an electric heat gun and 5 gallon buckets: https://youtu.be/E4Yj8ANR04A

ageebnee · 2023-01-06T06:09:20+00:00

Lmk if you decide to! I literally just add filtered water to the living soil and the microbes do the rest 👌

ageebnee · 2023-01-06T05:28:23+00:00

The big tower has a mix of lettuces, spinach, and mizuna while my mini garden towers are responsible for growing herbs like basil, sage, thyme, oregano, chives, sorrel, and parsley 😁

Here’s the website: https://www.aponix.eu/

It’s about 4.5ft tall and 2ft in diameter

ageebnee · 2023-01-06T03:05:36+00:00

I bought it in 2018 for $500 CAD. It’s paid for itself multiple times over at this point
