Biography

We manage a 40 acre wildlife area of the Texas Hill Country in the Edwards Plateau at about 3030 ft above sea level. The region is notable for its karst topography and tall rugged hills of limestone. The terrain throughout the region is punctuated by a thin layer of topsoil and a large number of exposed rocks and boulders, making the region very dry and prone to flash flooding. Native vegetation in the region includes various yucca, prickly pear cactus, native grasses and wildflowers. The predominant trees in the region are Ashe Juniper, Shin Oak and Texas Live Oak. Soil is alkaline consisting of caliche and clay.

Grass instead of acid for blueberries

Using grass as a compost tea might be a great way to give nutrients to blueberry plants.

Take your grass clipping and put them in some water overnight. Then water the blueberry plants with this compost tea.

Also you can use grass clipping as mulch on the blueberry plants.

Extra Mortgage Payments These Days: Yes or No?

I feel that using the extra mortgage payment method is great for when folks have some extra money.

Just make sure that your mortgage company applies the payment to your principle and not to the interest or use them like a regular payments.

I have not used this idea as I prefer to grow the way Mother Nature does.

I have read several threads here on the forum and thought you or others might enjoy these:

Looking for land ideas

Brianna Kathrinus wrote:This is new to me and it's hard to find info on where to put these types of houses. There's no one site that lists cities where it's legal. It's a f-ing mess. And I have to move ASAP for health reasons.

So it's a nightmare.

I'm in IL and need somewhere w all the hookups. I guess there are trailer parks but those are not for tiny homes.

I know it can be in someone's backyard. But other than that I'm lost.

I am sorry that you are lost.

Do you have a tiny house or are you looking to get one?

We bought our land that we put a tiny house on.

Another option is to look at RV campgrounds. RV campgrounds have full hookups. And most will accept tiny homes.

I think that there are some trailer parks that offer full hookup for RVs and will accept tiny homes, too.

Please tell us more about why you are lost.

Are earthworms to blame for missing understory?

I have always thought that earthworms were beneficial to the soil.

There are good species and there are bad ones.

Good earthworms are red wigglers and night crawlers that we buy for soil health.

These earthworms improve soil health through aeration, increase nutrient availability, and aid in decomposition of organic matter.
