A simple way to ensure slow ending of a trees viability is to cut notches in cambium and insert some copper ( Pennie’s/ wire…) old school info from a reputable source. Use with care !

Asparagus was originally a salt marsh plant - ergo salting the soil

I’ve always thought about building a solar chimney dug into ground, with screens and filters and possibly extra racks with material that self wetted to add evaporation into the ‘fridge’ to reduce temps / add humidity- or alternatively wrapping ‘ fridge’ container externally with self wetting ( material that has a corner in a large tank of water will wet itself) , my house is built on a hillside so the basement level would be buried/ wet wrapped,( in summer only ) then as it came into the ground level into my single story north side attached porch - where it would have the food for access in the house- and the container would continue thru the roof as a small solar chimney- to continually pull colder air thru ( with appropriate filters below food storage area.

I use long sleeve big old men’s cotton shirts with nothing on underneath- I don’t wear sun screen, so I wear thicker weaves for high UV days with hat , sleeves roll up or down as needed- never tucked in! air circulates great ! (The  bédouin people got the concept- the hotter the outside loose material is the more it acts like a solar chimney- the cooler I am- I get some sun but no burns!) the less uv the more transparent ( lighter weave) i can wear until I need a cotton t- shirt underneath- it saves my T-shirts from being destroyed and that’s not a big issue for me as I’ve worked live shows for 40 years and have hundreds, but I always wear a big loose shirt ( with tails if I can find it!
