  • Somethin to keep in mind is that it’s a labor intensive harvest and the products aren’t really what we’d want to market. You’d wait until the whole lot of them kind of dies down and harvest winter squash, dry beans, and flint corn then till the remainder back into the soil.

    It’s not bad for substinence farming, but you’re not going to get the yields or reasonable market prices with those crops.







  • Ground cover, reduces evaporation and weeds. Beans climb the corn.

    Can only do this with the hardy types that will dry on the vine, tough starchy corn and winter squash like pumpkins though. You try picking squash that will rot, sweet corn, or green beans in a mountain of foliage and vines you’ll just end up ruining the whole thing. Can only harvest at the end of the season.

    He cultivated the yeast for a week using unfiltered olive oil, hand-milled barley and einkorn, one of the earliest forms of wheat, until he had a starter, like that used to make sourdough bread.

    This is so dumb. It’s highly likely the yeast he actually cultivated was the active yeast living already on the barley, the olive oil or in the air. This is literally all you need to do to make sourdough starter, no innoculation necessary.








    • A rat done bit my sister Nell
    • With whitey on the moon
    • Her face and arms began to swell
    • And whitey’s on the moon
    • I can’t pay no doctor bills
    • But whitey’s on the moon
    • Ten years from now I’ll be payin’ still
    • While whitey’s on the moon
    • The man just upped my rent last night
    • Cause whitey’s on the moon
    • No hot water, no toilets, no lights
    • But whitey’s on the moon
    • I wonder why he’s upping me?
    • Cause whitey’s on the moon?
    • Well I was already giving him fifty a week
    • With whitey on the moon
    • Taxes taking my whole damn check
    • Junkies making me a nervous wreck
    • The price of food is going up
    • And as if all that shit wasn’t enough:
    • A rat done bit my sister Nell
    • With whitey on the moon
    • Her face and arm began to swell
    • And whitey’s on the moon
    • Was all that money I made last year
    • For whitey on the moon?

    • Of whitey on the moon
    • I think I’ll send these doctor bills
    • Airmail special
