Hello my fellow gardeners, I totally forgot to post about this amazing initiative called make soil. It lets gardeners all around the world to make soil together.

You can do both, for times when you have more than you can compost. I just received my first drop off today from Sumithra, who dropped off three bags of orange peels and a huge bucket of Bokashi. She composts but ha ..read more

Seeds, seeds, seeds everywhere (literally). Finally, after so many months, I’m back in the garden. I started later than usual this year, but I finally got to it. And of course I started with my favorite: tomatoes. I enjoyed working in the garden today. That feeling of the seeds in my hands, the texture of the soil through my fingers (I recommend you use gloves, but I just can’t help it), the smell of the garden, the sounds of the birds, and the sight of seeds, the calmness, it all brings me inner peace. I feel so good and energetic when I work in the garden. Early afternoon was still hot, but ..read more

My Moringa is back

My Moringa tree is back. I pruned it hard last year, well I simply chopped it off up to one meter away from ground. It took hard pruning really well before but not this time. It didn’t grow back and appeared dead. I was devastated as it was such a big tree. The only reason I cut it so low is because some of the branches had sooty canker (a fungal disease of the trees) and from my research the best action was to chop off the branches that were affected. Since I read about a practice of cutting moringas all the way to one meter from the ground I decided to give it a go. And now, months after the ..read more
