Yesterday was a good day for cutting willow stakes and stabbing them back into the ground. So I spent four and a half hours doing so, and accomplished this!

It’s maybe 20 feet of #fedge that will eventually become an actual hedge to fence in the horses.

For now it needs protection in the form of an electric fence to keep them from chewing off all the growing parts before it gets established. It will take me multiple seasons to extend it all the way to where I need it to go.

Why do this instead of building more board fencing, you ask? (No one asked. I’m going to tell you anyway.) Well, the land our rural co-op exists on is very hilly, which means some parts are high and dry - great for putting posts in the ground and having them last for decades - and some parts are low and soggy - terrible for putting fence posts in because they will rot. Also, board fencing can be pricey, even if we’re doing all the work to install it ourselves.

But we still need fencing in those areas to keep the ponies contained. I don’t like using electric fencing for perimeter fencing. I want a real physical barrier that won’t suddenly stop working when it’s icy, snowy, the charger isn’t working, etc etc. I also don’t super like having the horses get shocked. Which does happen to poor Henry sometimes, because he can’t see very well and doesn’t always register that the fence is there before he walks into it, and then he gets a nasty surprise. There are things I can do to mitigate each of these problems, but… long term, I want to reduce the use of the zappy fence as much as possible.

Luckily, willow will grow into a nice coppiced thicket with a bit of encouragement, and we have lots of it growing here! I can cut whips from right nearby and use them to build living fencing that will benefit more creatures of our landscape than just the horses, and it doesn’t even damage the areas I harvest from because they’ll sprout right back up with even more stems. I think this is so cool. I can hardly wait to see it sprouting once the weather warms up a bit more!

I’m also looking forward to getting my hands on Paul Lamb’s new book, Of Thorn & Briar, about the craft of hedge laying in the UK. This willow weaving thing I’m doing isn’t quite that, but it’s not entirely dissimilar, either.

Während die CDU/CSU das #CanG zurück nehmen wollen, damit ihre Spender weiterhin viel Geld an alkoholabhängigen Menschen verdienen, hat der Markt sich schon angepasst.

Der Gartenmarkt des Vertrauens verkauft Erde für den Cannabisanbau. Mit Anbau- und Pflegehinweisen aufgedruckt. 🥰

Die Normalisierung geht ihren Gang und es gibt eine Alternative zum Alkohol. Aber man muss auf Stoffwechselblockade und stark erhöhtes Krebsrisiko verzichten. 😆

Die beiden Kreuzungs Samen ausm letzten Jahr entwickeln sich prächtig. Vaterschaftsfrage weiter ungeklärt. Kann von Nutzhanf oder Hobbygärtner sein - gesehen habe ich davon im oder ums Dorf nichts.

Auch wenn weder bisher klar ist obs Jungs oder Mädels werden und was nach der Ernte raus kommt;
Habt ihr Namenvoschläge für diese "Allgäu Strain"?

#420 #grow #cannabis

i kind of want to grow something (nonspecific.. i guess i dont have a preference yet) - but i've never done it before and i'm not sure how..
flowers are nice
i am a chaotic and sorta inconsistent person, but i do want to make an effort to see something grow!
is it too late in the season to start? no clue what to do
i think im in zone 7b (delaware) soo if anyone knows how i should start i am VERY willing to take advice :)

Moin ☕

Heute werden die Weißklee Samen geliefert.

Samen die ich in 5 Geschäften nicht finden konnte.

Eine Pflanze die den Boden schützt, Austrocknung vermindert und Stickstoff anreichert.

Die erste Nutzung werden die großen Stofftöpfe mit Cannabis sein. Vielleicht begrüne ich auch meine Kompostwanne damit.
