…does anybody know when season 2 starts? I’ve looked all over and I’m not seeing a date anywhere…
Fall 2023 is when it'll be available across our streaming partners! Season 2 is in production now.

That's the one, Margaux suggested! I've been looking at it a bit. More reading to be done!
Regarding the Wofati greenhouse - it shouldn't need an RMH. Paul's stayed safely above freezing even at -12*F it's first winter.

That's crazy.. We were just hit with -22F (before wind chill) this past weekend.. Freaking cold here in Canada! My thing is, I want SO BADLY to grow citrus and other fruits but with our brutal winters it makes it.. "Complicated"

Get a really good, solid idea of how much wood you are going through now. So if you put in a rocket mass heater, you can get an idea of how much less wood you are using.

That makes sense! I'll ask a buddy of mine, he's a WETT (Wood Energy Technology Transfer) certified inspector. As far as I know, in Canada anyway, you'd need something that's CSA approved which would mean commercially available or a stamp of approval from an engineer which can get pricey.

I was in the same situation, but i'm learning slowly by reusing in my garden and orchard the waste of a mushroom farm. It is a good way for me to get used to mushroom. Maybee your have a mushroom farm around you ?

For example, let some of your lettuce go to seed. Plant enough that there will be extra and when it starts to turn bitter, leave it in place. Spend a little time harvesting the seed, so that you can spread it anywhere you might have tilled or bare soil. One method is to pick the flowering stalk once the seeds are mature. Put the seed stalks in a paper bag for later. When you’re ready to plant, just hit the ground with the seed stalk, anywhere you have bare ground or in spaces where you end up weeding…. Where you plant or have planted your garlic& onions. Where you will be planting your summer annuals. Come springtime, there will be lettuce everywhere. It germinates easily in cool soil. Germinates far earlier than if you wait to plant it.
The idea is to have lettuce as your most prolific weed. In place it prevents germination of warm soil weeds, and when it’s in the way, eat it😊.
Purslane is another weed to promote, let it live anywhere it comes up until it’s in the way, then eat it.
Parsley, being biennial, you have to establish twice. After that you’ll have some germinating every year, some seeding every year. All you have to do is let it go to seed, and keep an eye on it.
If you like neat rows and pathways, allow dill, cilantro, cosmos to come up in clumps here and there in your rows. This is also a good place for parsley. They provide habitat and food for parasitic wasps and pollinators. And they will also reseed.
All the reseeding saves you the time of seeding, saves the expense of buying seed. And it provides a latent seed bank in the soil…. So that you get something you want instead of weeds… or useful plants become your weeds.
