Love this! I’m pinning this on my wall!
I just got on my land a few months ago and am so looking forward to hugelkultur! There are herbs growing throughout the rock croppings, but not much else.

Perhaps you are watering over the plant instead of at the roots? Perhaps a good pruning is in order? Or perhaps it needs copper in the soil? Cherries are very particular about their habitat.

I live on a rocky, sandy loam 5 acres. I would LOVE to know if this would work out here in Indian Reservation Arizona.

Swiss chard and collard greens are my go to during hot weather. Most times I mix them with nettles. Great stuff.

Wow! I’m going to try these tools second version of the PCM video for my area. This is going to be GREAT!
I have always used a floor fan that has a base to cool my home. The closer the floor, the better it works. You need to face the fan so that it blows towards the ceiling and the cool air from the floor does the rest.

Citric acid in soap, lotions, and shampoo is the only thing that I find it viable to use in. A little goes a long way in my laundry, especially since hard water is a problem here.

Cinnamon or orange rolls! Orange rolls are my favorite, but the rest of the family prefers the cinnamon rolls best.

Coming from a tropical climate to the desert has put a damper on my usual availability of fresh fruit. I can no longer go out to the front yard and pick my breakfast or a gardenia for my hair.
The one plant that I miss eating the most is strawberry papaya. The richness of its “meat” and the flavor of that first sweet bite are almost forgotten. I’ve had greenhouses and have tried to grow them, but I was never able to get them to bear fruit.
Ah, to be able to walk out and pick my breakfast again!
