Hey where did you get these if you don't mind me asking?

pineisander...why are you not mentioning that you use synthetic fertilizers? As far as I remember, Eric didn't like the fact that you were doing 100% clearing of the land before planting "permaculture" in its place, not that you used mulch. I understand you had lots of "bad" trees like melaleuca but 100% bulldozing of land and then creating a "permaculture" forest in its place is something I would consider quite questionable if you want to be teaching permaculture to others and be the example of it. Would be nice if everyone named things by their names, not tried to make things look like they're something they're not. then no one would argue.but just the fact that I use irrigation and mulch made me part of the horrible ones....
What's wrong with mulch? I never heard anyone in the organic/regenerative space criticize the use of mulch. In my Environmental Horticulture AS program, the instructors drove the point home about all the benefits of mulch.
My zone is now 10B but I will continue to grow like 10a. No soursop, sugar apple and star apple for me.This is what makes me think there is more to plant cold hardiness than temperature, I went 10a to 10b, but have never lost a soursop, sugar apple and star apple to cold.
I have a zone 12 greenhouse, heat mats and lights, so it is NEVER winter for me!

Sunday looks like the best chance of some rain for next week.
Anyone use this? Most weather stations from major forecasters are from airports... this can get you more local temp data from amateur weather stations

Have you tried this, there are a few tools on the page. I like the QPF for an idea of how much rain.
