NorfolkGregAt 09:09 this morning I decided it was a good time to take advantage of what the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/wind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wind</a> had done overnight. A lot of <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/duckweed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#duckweed</a> had accumulated in one of the bays in the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/lake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lake</a> visible from out lounge window.With the aid of a angler's net attached to a long pole and a rake I managed to make a good stab of removing the weed along with some sludge and twigs found on the bed of the lake. It's now in a number of piles on the bank. I'll give it a day or two to allow <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/invertebrates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#invertebrates</a> to crawl back into the water and then move the piles to the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compost</a> bins.

The celeriac is a week or two taller than ours. Our garden is on the southern Minnesota schedule. The mastodon gardening community inspires us to try different vegetables. We share a lot of gardening, compost, and fermenting photographs. Alt text descriptions are a big help to boosting posts. And hashtags are a big help for other gardening enthusiasts to see your posts.

Pottery by OsaTree cutters and wood workers have to pay to dispose of this stuff so you’re doing them a favor to take it off their hands. My husband found out about ChipDrop a few years back. Get a bunch of free mulch delivered to you for free, straight from tree cutters. And lastly, you can make free <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compost</a> by asking a coffee shop to save their used grounds and combine with free untreated sawdust. It’s the only reason I go to Starbucks lol. <a href="https://getchipdrop.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://getchipdrop.com/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#permaculture</a>

Pottery by OsaBetween <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pottery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pottery</a>, I’ve found so much use for free wood scraps. There’s just so much scrap wood out there from felling trees, woodworking and shipping pallets. Just make sure the wood is untreated. I got these scraps from a local woodworker that I’ll use in my outdoor <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rocketkiln" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rocketkiln</a> and for backyard fires. Also got a bag of sawdust which I’ll use to saggar fire pottery and to add carbon to my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compost</a>. 🧵

Last month, the Duarte City Council approved the development of the Duarte Community Garden at Tzeitel Paras-Caracci Park (2701 Royal Oaks Drive)."'This project exemplifies our dedication to creating <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sustainable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sustainable</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessible</a> spaces for our residents,' said Mayor Cesar A. Garcia. 'This garden will not only enhance the beauty of our park but also provide a space where our community can come together, learn, and share in the joy of nature. I am excited to see this project grow and look forward to it becoming a vibrant part of our community.'"The goal of the Duarte Community Garden is to increase <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FoodSovereignty</a> by creating garden plots for community members to grow healthy food, cultivate agricultural literacy with educational programs, gather community by creating a welcoming and accessible garden space, and perform ecosystem services by removing grass, installing a sustainable <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DripIrrigation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DripIrrigation</a> system, building a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeHabitatGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeHabitatGarden</a>, and collecting <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compost</a>."The garden will feature 20 plots and two <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ADAAccessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ADAAccessible</a> raised beds, available for rent at $5 per month. Community members can plant edible (excluding smokable) plants and flowers for personal, noncommercial use. It will include a storage shed with garden tools, an irrigation system promoting sustainable practices, and ADA-accessible decomposed granite pathways."The garden will be run in partnership with Food Exploration and Discovery (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FoodEd</a>), a nonprofit organization that collaborates with San Gabriel Valley communities to create edible education sites and provide programs on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecosystem</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/stewardship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stewardship</a>, healthy living, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environmental</a> innovation, and entrepreneurship. "Food Ed’s educational model will support gardeners of all skill levels, providing supplies and plants for beginners while experienced gardeners can use their own resources. The garden will also offer picnic benches for community <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gatherings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gatherings</a> and host educational programs on topics like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VegetableGardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VegetableGardening</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#composting</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DroughtTolerant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DroughtTolerant</a> landscaping, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SoilHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoilHealth</a>."As the lead on this grant project, Food Ed will be responsible for building the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DuarteCommunityGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DuarteCommunityGarden</a>.

We are going to make soil blocks for the first time after seeing them in action on Mastodon. The peppers, eggplants, and tomatoes starts will be our test vegetables. We have the ingredients. Though the leaf mould is not well aged. And the compost was frozen wedges. We are looking forward to the less stress potting up. <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/soilblocks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#soilblocks</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/growyourow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#growyourow</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compost</a>.

We have eggs and shells from the runner duck team. Some of the shells are ground up for treats for the red wrigglers in the worm farm 360. The rest of the shells have been added to the compost pile as slow release nutrients. We could do more apple cider vinegar for the garden.

BellingenNSWTonnes of microplastics infiltrate Australia’s agricultural soils each year How microplastics affects soil and food health"We found every kilogram of compost contains between 1,500 and 16,000 microplastic particles. In weight, this equates to between 7 and 760 milligrams of microplastics per kilogram of compost. ""In Australia, about 26% of compost produced at organic waste processing facilities is used in agriculture. So, we estimate that between 2.7 and 206 tonnes of microplastics is being transported to Australian agricultural land from compost each year." "The absence of clear guidelines leaves composting facilities, waste processors, and end users vulnerable to unintended plastic pollution." >> <a href="https://theconversation.com/tonnes-of-microplastics-infiltrate-australias-agricultural-soils-each-year-study-shows-250624" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theconversation.com/tonnes-of-microplastics-infiltrate-australias-agricultural-soils-each-year-study-shows-250624</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plastic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollution</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/microplastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#microplastics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/waste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#waste</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#agriculture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/soil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#soil</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#food</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compost</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/landfill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landfill</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/regulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#regulation</a>

NorfolkGreg<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a> Having been on Mastodon, for approaching three years it really is time to introduce myself. I understand that I need a few pinned posts to ensure my account appears active when people on other servers see toots of mine that others have boosted.My profile remains accurate with one possible exception. My first use of the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compost</a> hashtag almost doubled my number of followers, so these days I tend to keep folk informed of how I manage and use leaf fall and other vegetation that grows in our grounds (you really can't call it a garden).

NorfolkGregIt was a beautiful <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/morning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#morning</a> with temperatures forecast to be around 17°C, so it was time to turn the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compost</a> and tidy up the overflow in the pallet bins.It was 30 January when I cleared the bank of the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/lake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lake</a> and we ended up with the overflow.Today I emptied Bin 1, moving the contents to Bin 3. That created the room to get the overflow into Bin 1.

We have a flock of a dozen runner ducks. They are members of the gardening team. They are priceless contributors. They do pest control from caterpillars that eat the garden greens to mice in the coop. They are responsible for converting bedding to fertilized bedding. They also lay eggs. The duck chores keep us healthy. Laughing with the ducks is wonderful.
