Yes I know, that is where I first read from him, and this is also the reason I write on this forum, as maybe someone knows him personally.

Hi,

has anyone heard from Eric Koperek lately?
His website had nothing published in well over a year, and I know he was not that young anymore...

Here his website, which contains quite a few gems: https://worldagriculturesolutions.com/

Do you have any European source to buy them?

If you organize a party, and you know everyone, but not everyone knows each other, you can text everyone a word which connects you two.

Then, you print a list with all the names, and distribute it. Everyone must find out the word connecting you with each one. But: the people can only reply "yes" or "no" to the questions.

Sounds strange, but is a nice ice-breaker, as it gives the people not knowing anyone an excuse to start a conversation.

Example:
Is it an object?
Yes
Is it big?
No
Is it made of natural material?
No
Is it a common household item?
Yes
...
etc until they find the word, e.g. Bandage, and you can then tell the story of how you carried a plaster and bandaged his cutting wound on a hiking trip to mount Everest...

Hi, I am unsure about your message: so your rootstock survived, the variety died, and you grafted 2 scions on your rootstock which took? I see on the right it appears that you grafted above ground, on the left I don't see the grafting point. Did you bud it just where it grows out?

There are many ways to deal with it:
1) You remove one completely, OR
2) you try to remove one with a tiny bit of root, and then you have two trees with a low risk OR
3) you dig it out, and split it in two, having 2 trees but risking of losing both in the process

Personally I would go for option 2, having one with a high likelihood and one a bit slower.

PS: And regarding timing: If you do it now, survival might be lower than in dormant season, especially as it is in full foliage.

Hola,
do you have some rabbits or cavies (cuy) to use the Tradescantia as feed? The droppings won't grow, and you can use them as fertilizer.

The search engine Ecosia and several NGOs are using a technique for reforestation called "Foxhole" to plant trees, and ultimately forests, in grasslands.
The technique is to dig out the grass in circles, seed legumes (pigeon pea in their case), pioneer, and other tree species in there. The method is cheaper than transplanting nursery-grown saplings, and has a higher success rate.
Planting trees in grasslands is always difficult, as the root competition is difficult for the trees in the first few years.

Yes, they are really delicious!

Anne: Parc Carreg is the same as presented above in the link, they sadly only have the pet genetics.

Hi,

does anyone know if the cuy genetics of guinea pigs are available in the UK, more specifically in Wales?

So far, I see that there are the small ones, as presented in the thread below.

The bigger ones, the meat breeds growing to slaughter weight of 1 kg within 2 months, are they available?

Maybe qgis if you work on a larger scale?
Or Inkscape, if you work on small plots (you can import pictures as a base layer if I remember well)
