In the northern hemisphere, winter is nigh. Without more details, I'd be likely to think of that leaf coloration as normal for this time of year.

OK I should have mentioned that I am in a subtropical region with high rainfall

Hello Permies,

can you help me with a leaf diagnosis?
Is this actually Chlorosis (lack of iron) or something else?







Thanks for any interpretation.

we trying this since 2 years but so far no progress. We tried plugging, cutting, cutting the roots, nothing seems to work what we tried.

Hello permies

we are an alternative community ( https://es.gofundme.com/rainbow-crystal-land-magic-hat )

And we have a lot of ferns and they are so invasive. They overgrow everything and we cant seem to push them back, I tried sheet mulching but they penetrate through the sheets.
Does anybody has ideas what we could do about them?

Thank you

Hello Permaculture Friends,

I live in the Andes, and there we have a lot of ferns, I guess because of the acid soil caused by all the rain.
We already put limestone to increase the pH.

Some Farmers here say that the ferns making the soil even more acidic. Can that be true?
Are there Plants that make soil more alkaline?

Thank you for your advice.
