Thank you all for the excellent replies.
Hello all,

I'm looking into starting some berry shrubs, and the how-to guides I'm reading online recommend that I start my seeds in peatmoss. Sometimes they recommend a mix of peatmoss and vermiculite. I'm fairly certain this doesn't happen in nature, but I've been wrong before.

Is there a compelling reason that I should get some peatmoss, or can I use soil for starting my seeds?

Thank you for your time,
Adam
Hello friends,

I'm trying to get a 1/2 acre farming operation running this year. I need to find small and strange markets for my small and strange permaculture plot. I had the idea today that local small scale chicken raisers might be interested in a sort of CSA basket of odd veggies, insects, and grains that are either too diverse or too small scale for the grocery store. I don't have the space to keep chickens myself, and the system I'm envisioning will have a fair bit of incidental production supporting the more traditional cash crops.

Does that sound at all like something you would hypothetically be interested in, or am I barking up the wrong tree here? I've never raised urban chickens before, and I would greatly appreciate your input.

If this does sound interesting to you, would you be especially interested or disinterested in any particular crops? Would you buy a mix of produce, grains, and insects. Would you prefer live insects or dead and processed insects?

Thank you for your time,
Adam
