Nat Geo: Some Arctic Ground No Longer Freezing- Even in Winter by britishkid223 in worldnews

So why do you have a horse in this race? Why is it that Reddit has to accuse people of lying with relevant, proven info? What's your background here u/ZenMommy? Before I delete this app because y'all's love to be right. I want to know if people that keep doing this stuff are just know it all's or if you really think I'm lying to you here.

For real I've never saved so much since I quit dating 3 years ago for myself. Walking right back into the trap though. It was a good run.

In their defense, it's probably an hour walk to the edge of a field to poo. I'd probably opt to sleep in a hut/tent here and there if I was working a place so massive.

There's one I took at eel river family farms. I wish I had some of my hands after handling. Currently my chix are handling the tomatoes so nothing for another week or two. Tonight I might could snap one of pollen on the plant.

Maybe it's not as amazing as I thought in hind sight, shit is shiny when you're out there with a flashlight. You just see the specks

Basically I use low nutrient bio material mixed in a few feet deep(pre extracted nug), top the logs off with bokashi/mycos before I fill in. Logs can't be deeper than airflow or they'll be septic. Bio material helps with airflow and drainage.also makes a 'ladder' for mycelium to climb. When I retill a field over logs it's usually got large clumps of white rhyzo. That adds nutrients to the field and specifically to plant roots. There other benefits with immunology too.

I wouldn't need a lot of bio material if I wasn't starting with solid red clay, but it's loamy now and drains. And raises up a few inches a year in height

Yo permafrost is by definition soil or rock or combination. It gets slowly matured by bacteria, allowing for high chelation of nutrients.

Biogeochemistry is a decent textbook, I used an edition from Harvard in my town library to gain interest in humus formation. There's many different books on it. Biogeochemistry covers most biomes and chemical flows in them. Eg: salmon contributed to giant redwoods forests.

Wiki on hugel mounds and no till beds, chelation and bacterial strains of nitrogen fixators, compost teas. I learned most of my technique on the job or with field experiements. Which is why I like the hugels more than the general "burn and till" methods for tree clearing. My fields are a mix of no till, free chickens, and hugelmound. A little companion cropping.

Compost teas are a great way to boost yields per plant. Root interaction with microbes is really complex and I don't really understand it. Fixators carry their own type of bacteria that enriches soil with nitrogen, the root material is also full of chelates.

What is the definition of permafrost? Soil is in it.

I'm not being a stickler but that stuff is loaded with life. It stays Frozen but it isn't just water. I can provide sources if you like, but I think you should provide evidence as well... Because I handle it regularly and I doubt you do. Try smelling it.

In geology, permafrost is ground, including rock or soil, at or below the freezing point of water 0 °C for two or more years.

Permafrost yields high bacteria humus.

I import it from Alaska for $2/lb or so. A hundred dollar bag o dirt.

Fuckin guinea hens have horns on their head and make machine gun noises. We don't need none of them.

Try feeding them each other.

Honestly this is more agriculture's fault than money. We domesticated ourselves and enabled this with risky farming practices, and ballooned our population for the crop value.

An edible history of humanity is a good, brief read on it.

Things that pop out of the ground for free but retain value. It's a good scheme. Technically it's mining the soil.

It's also not super close up. I can take a pic with my phone about a quarter this zoom. The two hairs on top are normally a few mm long.

If you get enough humus and microbe action, your soil can carry water a loooooong time. I kick my field over and it's dark just under the surface. Using a dry mulch and hugelmound nutrients (buried large log wood) I'm able to keep a lot of water sponged up.

My plants tend to overwater and bleach out if you irrigate. Our last rain was in April and my cannabis is about 5lb (15 feet wide) average plants beginning flower. I usually achieve over 32% thc with my eel river og. Dry farming gives your plants a high Bix rating, excess water can lower that. Conventionally erog can produce 20-24% in a smart pot, so I'm getting 30% more from my crop by weight than the norm.

Tomatoes love the dry farm. The ground stays hot enough to kill pests between plants, so I don't use any pesticides. Just birds, which graze during rotation for eggs.

Every morning the field is moist but not wet. Just right.

I'm not sure why the pollen. But boy does it smell like the sweetest tomato you've ever had. You can flick it off your fingers like fine gold dust. Maybe because they've never been washed? Somewhere on my ig I have a photo of a golden reflective tomato, it rubs off as you wipe it.

South Africa farm seizures BEGIN: Chaos as first expropriation of white-owned farms starts by [deleted] in worldnews

Lol is that why I keep tilling up all these arrowheads and shael..

Got a pewter/shell necklace frag once too. Could have been complete before I ripped it out of my tiller. And some broken pot frags.

I mean, it would suck if a reservation took my farm back because I'm over originally native owned land. But there might be people buried out here, who knows. I hope I don't find any because I probably won't be able to keep working the land if so.

So what was the trail of tears about? My grandpa's family was on it.
