I just saw this video and had to share it with this community. During the heat wave of 1906, Baldasare Forestiere dug a home underground with just a pickax and shovel. He spent 40 years excavating 10 acres of rooms, tunnels, a chapel, an underground aquarium and courtyards to experiment with underground farming. He had fruit trees planted 12-22 ft underground with light wells.

There are 100,000 bacteria on every square centimeter of our skin and 100 trillion microbes of at least 400 types in our digestive system. We are ecosystems.

Thank you TK!!! I ran across this years ago and I couldn't find it again. I was really interested to look at this again as I'd like to experiment with this in Maine to see what I can get away with, zone pushing wise.

It's a bit like "run away to the circus" but with gardening
