lemit Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Welcome! What kind of gardening do you do? I'm impressed by your English, which I assume is a second language. Is my assumption correct? Again, welcome. --lemit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My intention is moving to the countryside where I surely wouldn´t be on of the 40 people assasinated each wekend!You´re not the first one to say it but my English is due my education at Trinidad from 5 to 15 years old. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemit Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I was raised on a farm in the U.S. Midwest, in Missouri, part of which I inherited from my parents. I don't live there. I live in a college town 700 miles away, but I have a very small garden every year, to keep some dirt under my fingernails. Where I come from, "garden" means vegetables. Flowers are in flower beds. So, what kind of work do you? I hope it isn't something that could make you liable to be one of those assassination victims. Good luck! --lemit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you talking about gardening.Since quite a long time ago I´ve been studying hydroponics, aquaponics, cloning, etc.As products and US$ are difficult to obtain here, it´s just been theoretical.But I found a website about tissue culture which IS very interesting and the necessary products nothing like pricey. I get so absorbed, I almost forget evreything else.Another interesting topic is Biochar and Wood Vinegar. It takes too much time.What I hope to accomplish is micropropagate some plants like ( I don´t know how you call it, not even here ) but it decorates tables and gardens and anythig in Christmas because it´s green leaves all turn red in December. You should check these:Micropropagation by Tissue Culture and BioChar...At your own risk, cause you might forget everything ( just like me ) and RUN back to your farm.

Euphorbia pulcherrima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I just understood what you meant by poinsettia. Is that how you call this Christmas plant?.While I was answering I was watching CNN. They were talking about an EcoCocina.That´s the principle of making BioChar. You just char ( NOT! burn wood ) in abscence of oxigen. You can also make methane gas from organic wastes.. Like Cow, Pig, Cicken and even Human excrete ) The byproduct is a highly concentrated fertilizer!Anyway, it´s Wednesday 3:00am over here. I´m not sleepy yet, but what the heck?
