Thank you for the info, I really appreciate it, I will update with my results later .

Wanting to try making persimmon vinegar from persimmons (either fresh or dried) I think dried might work better. I have made vinegar from apple and pear peelings but have yet to try any others.
Would it work in the same manner but adding the fruit to the water when boiling it so the fruit would soften? Also would it be a good idea to add a starter from another vinegar batch-though different type? Or would adding a mother be problematic since it is not the same fruit?

Any recipes I have found for persimmon vinegar involved ground wheat and we do not eat that right now but I would really like to have another vinegar option.

Any input is appreciated

In this video Jamie Durie designs a backyard for vegetarians -I love how it looks but for sustainability & diet purposes -would add chickens and rabbits.


Though not a permaculture buff nor is his show based on sustainable practices but as a master gardener he respects nature.-plant life at least

Have any of you done vertical gardening like is shown here?
Also any ideas of how to do it properly in DFW->TX(other than have the material be white canvas)?

Hope you enjoy

EDITED to add direct link
