Why did the apple go to the gym?  To work on his core!

Getting paid to sleep could be a dream job!

Amazing!  My prickly pears I'm growing in ground here in Maine are so much smaller.  Is it from one of the same sources as one of the two prickly pear varieties you're currently selling? (and if so, which one?)  

Devon, is that lovely cactus as large as it looks in your picture, or one of those closer to the camera effects?

BTW, love your nursery offerings!

This fall I planted chinese yam under one of my goumi bushes with the hope that I'll be able to put a tarp under the bush and shake it to collect all the air potatoes.  Goumi seems to fruit well with a little shade and is a nitrogen fixer, so hoping the two species work well together.  Also have ramps under the goumi.  They will not be in the way in the fall when the tarp is used, so that seems good.  Anything else anyone would recommend adding?

Thank you for sharing your experience.  I've always wondered about the statements that Amazonian biochar replicates itself.  Your comment that you saw biochar penetrating a wood chip is intriguing.  Do you have a picture you can share or more description?  Was the woodchip becoming biochar, or transforming into a different stable form?

May need to bring that one to Plover, WI!

What kind of stone do they traditionally use to make ondols  (the Korean heated stone slab bed)?

Was surprised by the fly vs. drive and so off to the internet.....

"Per 1,000 miles, a commercial flight emits roughly 410 pounds equivalent per passenger for a typical domestic route. By comparison, an average solo gasoline car driver emits about 890 pounds."

Color me shocked!  If you're driving, please consider not doing it by yourself!  Pack that car full of people!!!

Did you know that 10 + 10 and 11 + 11 are the same?

10 + 10 = 20
11 + 11 = twenty too
