I ’ve get a lot of plans for the homestead decently now .
There are right smart too many enceinte horticulture idea in my head but I ’m plump to try and get the important ideas down for now .
If any of these strike your fantasy , try ’em and see how you do .
IDEA #1: Micro-farming
A box subscription sort of a deal . Like … $ 30 a calendar week and I provide a unconstipated box of newly - piece constitutive produce to everyone on the listing .
Just toy with the mind right now .
IDEA #2: Massive Banana Circles
We get a decorous amount of banana right now but I ’d like to have enough that each kid can consume one per mean solar day . That ’s a improbable order , but it ’s a goal .
IDEA #3: Grafting Mulberries
I ’m not happy with the fruit quality or quantity from my largest mulberry tree tree in the front yard so I ’m recall of ingraft a half - dozen different diversity all over it . Ought to be fun .
Imagine white mulberries , Pakistan long mulberries and other types all farm on the same tree . I do n’t know about species compatibility since it ’s aMorus nigraand I ’d be graftingMorus albaandMorus rubraonto it … but hey , why not judge ?
IDEA #4: Expanding The Annual Garden
I need more blank for solid food for the sept , so it ’s goodbye for now .
I ’m give way to press that region into service as an expanding upon of my veggie garden .
More roots , more Seminole pumpkins , more greens !
IDEA #5: Build a Smokehouse
After my successful lowly - scale experiment withsmoking on the StoveTec , I ’m going to go big .
It ’s time for me to take a bunch of cinderblocks and get busy building a killer smokehouse .
IDEA #6: Build A Tropical Food Forest
That ’s correct . A Quaker owns a greenhouse frame and wants me to have it . It ’s a HUGE greenhouse .
I ’ve get a protagonist with some land . She and I are talking about do it up at her place and planting a tropic in - ground solid food forest beneath it . The charge plate could be removed for half the yr , then installed in the wintertime .
I do n’t know if it ’s feasible or not but I ’d wish to try out .
IDEA #8: Grow More Yams
I need to grow some . I lovethe winged yambut my greenhouse license does n’t allow me to take it in my greenhouse .
I ’m face forDioscorea caymanensisin particular . If anyone has a source , please rent me love !
IDEA #9: Grow Sweet Potatoes In Plastic
I opine the tarp should keep them from subaltern rooting and weeds , leading to much bigger final tuber .
Going to have to try and see .
IDEA #10: Plant a Mahonia Patch
Why not plant it then start using the berries ? They ’re vitriolic but can be process into fix and jellies . mayhap they ’d be honorable dried ?
I require to know !
In Epilogue
Finally , what materialize to Idea # 7 ?
I do n’t know . thought # 7 was evidently so unavowed that my subconscious induce me to erase it .
And a good question , what are YOUR not bad horticulture ideas for the new twelvemonth ?
