Thanks!

Thanks! This is very helpful.
I was lucky enough to have portobellos grow in another bed I started.
I’m not having any luck with growing Oysters so far.
I’m waiting to see if the Almond Agaricus take hold and fruit.

Anyone have an inkling of what these shrooms might be? They did come up about 5 feet from where I inoculated an area with portobello spores last year. The ones with pink underside has a flesh layer on top of the gills that comes off. The other ones with the dark gills and the tops that look like portobellos … might be them but they are a bit thin not the typical fat flesh of a portobello.

Thanks, I might be adding another swarm to the first.
I’ll think about it … I’m just not sure I can do it.

Hey all,
A sweet fellow with about 50 years of beekeeping experience gave me a swarm along with honey, pollen, and brood. 7 frames in all.
My first question is he realllllyyyy wanted me to do a formic acid treatment in a few days just in case there were mites. Now, I really want to be an all natural beekeeper (I built a horizontal hive about a 30 framer and 20” deep) and I don’t want to do that … he kind of freaked me out about it though.
Any advice? After reading Keeping Bees with a Smile by Dr. Sharashkin and listen to Jacqueline Freeman really don’t wanna (my crybaby voice).
Thanks all!

I will tell you this, the more you work in public the easier it will get to have conversations while working.
Put out a sign “don’t touch” as well.

You can also reply on Indy Permaculture on WhatsApp.

Looking forward to meeting new folks!

You could apply manure … cow dung.
Once it’s dried thoroughly it will lose its smell and will repell flies and other insects.
There’s a lot of reading material on it.

It’s pretty exciting. We’re getting the word out to vendors to sign up. Anything can be sold/ or bartered as long as it was created, collected, foraged, or grown with permaculture ethics and intent.
