in a non food way i have been enjoying the assorted wildlife and the tree project.
3 live grafts of unknown ancient york apples ( one is very odd ) is pretty cool
the biodiversity in a very small and very sterile when i started space i have is a surprise, i have helped it but having hundreds of invertebrate spp is rather nice.
also my better to grow than collect every time rare breeds wildflower thing is going ok. last year was rarebreed dandelions , this year i have a decent amount of small purple vetch seed ( which one is not a priority for me)
my standard grown willow in a bucket is a bit of a beast as well, it needs a good home for a few hundred years, twig from a really awesome one.
anyone need a field draining? imho at least 50 from buildings or services in a damp place would be perfect,
stock from what was a roman bypass, there is a line of em although most are missing running a couple of miles that i can trace along
parent is about ten foot diameter .
at the mo my twig is 12 foot tall ,inch dia stem to 6 foot then then 3 pencils that are side branching and it is in a bucket with a good root system so it can travel at any time of year.
ace if you need a 1000 yr tree, just ask tis yours.
i could snip it down to stem and short 3 tops, use the bits to make more and it could travel more easily but it seems a waste as it is configured to become a serious tree in a few hundred years if it just grows with a bit of polled harvesting
if i want quick i grow radishes |
