Many of you have amazing ideas! My wife's workplace will be making biochar later this year so I'll capture some photos and share. I believe she said something about using a culvert to contain the fire and build up the heat.

I'm in the midwest and have never grew chayote but my mother in law did a few years ago. She was successful in getting the plant to fruit right before frost. She planted the starts in well drained soil that had at least 8 hours of sunlight during the growing season here. She did have to install a trellis for the vines. Since we have a shorter growing season, only 1-2 variety of chayote will fruit.
