Si vols menjar faves per nadal, sembra-les en setembre.

As well as the home made compost I also have a bin of Korean Natural Farming IMO4 inside the shed, a worm bin at home in the garage and a bokashi bin to take any unwanted cooked food waste. And there’s a pile of leaf litter turning slowly into leaf mould.

Composting can happen in many guises. I wish more people embraced it in their own lives. We live in an exceptionally wasteful world fast losing our natural biodiversity. #Compost #Composting #NoDig #SoilHealth #Gardening #Allotment #Solarpunk

@Broadfork Thank you for sharing all the different December compost. And your plan is to use the very best of the compost for the soil blocks for starts. The Mastodon composting enthusiasts inspired us to get buckets of compost inside before it’s frozen. This will be our third winter of this step and our second season using soil blocks for the vegetable starts. Thanks all. #compost, #nodig, #minnesota.

This is my composting set up over winter. We are fortunate our winters are mild. The piles are unlikely to freeze.

The two palleted compost bays have been freshly turned.

Four compost Daleks contain maturing compost.

Another compost dalek recieves the weekly veg peelings and garden weeds with sawdust added over the top.

After taking the photos all the compost was covered or lids put back on to keep the rain off. #Compost #Composting #NoDig #Mulch #Gardening #Allotment #Solarpunk

Two compost bays are made from five pallets. Two pallets provide the back wall and three pallets at right angles make the left side, right side and centre divide of the two bays. Two piles of compost are dark brown. The left hand pile has three black downpipes down the centre line to allow air flow into the centre of the pile. The right side pile is older compost and is noticeably more broken down.Three different sized plastic bins or compost daleks each contain maturing compost. The lids are off to show the compost inside. An elongated oval bin contains the best, finest compost which has been sieved with a trommel. These three containers of compost will mature over winter and will be the base of the potting mix next spring.Another compost dalek showing the compost inside. The brown compost has some woody material visible in amongst it. It hasn’t been put through the trommel to sieve it yet. It will continue to mature in this bin over winter.A compost dalek nearly full of the fresher garden and kitchen waste. Handfuls of sawdust are applied with each layer of kitchen scraps every week. When this bin is full it will be turned into a different bin to continue to break down. Ground eggshells, basalt, biochar and other amendments are occasionally added to this bin in small quantities.

Most of the autumn sown field beans have germinated ok.

I didn’t think I’d need to weed them in December but at 13°C it’s still warm enough for weeds to grow. #Allotment #Gardening #NoDig

Two double rows of small field bean plants growing in a newly weeded bed. A wire frame surrounds the bed to keep the muntjac out. The bottom of the frame is wire mesh, the top sides of the frame is a loose textile mesh. I can reach in between the different types of mesh to hoe the beds from outside quite easily. Some beans in the rows have either failed to germinate or become mice food but autumn sown beans always have losses. The view beyond is of next doors plot the other side of a grass path.

@feinschmeckergarten @Broadfork All the soil life drawings and images in the booklet are inspiring. Good luck with the Schleswig-Holstein soil sample, microscope, glass slides, and camera. Do you have the right experience? #compost, #nodig

@Broadfork Congratulations. It is a good position to be in with capture and storage, where you can garden without using the tap. #nodig, #compost.

2025-11-30

@Broadfork Yes. The water collection system is ready. The old plot collection system sure helped keep the greens going. #nodig.

@Hesperalis Every month seems to fly by equally fast, except February, which moves tortuously slowly.

Good luck with the flower adventure next year.

November 29, 2025. We have an Indonesian hot sauce theme for this southern Minnesota snow day. The kitchen smells wonderful. Some of the fermented Sambal is getting a coconut and spices upgrade to become Sambal Kelapa. It’s four pint jars! The pan toasted coconut and spices upgrade is in the silver bowl. The straight Sambal is continuing to ferment in the brown crock. These recipe ideas are from #adelaide. #fermentation #minnesota, #sambal, #growyourown, #nodig, #compost

We see a luxurious orange paste in a brown crock. The wooden label handle is pointing to fiveoclock.We are trying to see the looks of the jarred chilies and the lids. Sambal Kelapa 11-29-25 is written on the lids.

A November 28, 2025 milestone. The shredded carrot fermentation is jarred after nine days on the countertop. The late November fermentation went well without fruit flies or bits of mold making a scene. The recipe is in the Kirsten Shockey “Fermented Vegetables” cookbook. We use this in baked savory muffins and more. It’s also a substitute for sweet potatoes as we leave sweet potato growing to other gardeners. #fermentation, #minnesota, #growyourown, #nodig, #Carrots, #Zone4b

We see two clear jars from 3/4 above. The silver lids say “Carrot Ginger 11-28-25.” We see shredded carrots in vibrant orange.

Hoeveel Ruimte Heb Jij Nodig?

Hallo daar, jonge ontdekkers! Ik ben Mauw de Poes, jouw nieuwsgierige gids in de spannende wereld van biologie. Vandaag gaan we het hebben over iets heel belangrijks: ruimte! Ja, dat klopt! Ruimte...

A very friendly former colleague of mine gave me this bundle of willow branches to use as bean stalks instead of bamboo sticks.

What’s happening? The garden’s soil temperature is 7 C today. The temperature should trend down and down until early March because we are in southern Minnesota. The backdrop is beautiful leaf mulch. We are fortunate. Our neighborhood has a mix of mature deciduous trees that share leaves. The old forest was the Big Woods tree mix. The old prairie was the Oak Savanna tree mix. The last glacier retreated north about 10,000 years ago. #compost, #minnesota, #nodig, #gardening

We see a silver circle, white surface with black markings. The black markings read from zero to 200. The black hand points to 45.

Ich habe vor gut 2 Wochen den ersten Kompost in den Berggarten gekippt und Knoblauch hinein gestopft.

Werde allerdings nicht nochmal mit diesem Auto voll beladen diesen Matschweg hochfahren. Enorme Festfahrgefahr.

November 19, 2025. We are fermenting the 2025 carrots. We can grow more carrots than the season shows. The other vegetables one row east were too big too fast. So too much competition for the sun. That’s a spacing issue to address. The fermentation recipe adds two heaping tablespoons of fermented ginger paste and two tablespoons of lemon juice. This is about 1,400 grams of prepared carrot so two percent salt is 28 grams. #fermentation, #minnesota, #nodig, #growyourown

We look upon the carrot crop. The lower seven carrots were happy with the garden. The upper nine carrots were under appreciated during the growing season.
The first off 6 squashes from the allotment has been slaughtered!
I roasted it and made a pasta sauce with some faux chicken, cream, blue cheese, walnuts and a bit of thyme. It tasted sooo good!
