These permaculture/tree planting NGOs are planting a tree for every comment on these videos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LCTVO_Y5Rs

So, if you wish, you can plant 2 trees by leaving 2 comments. The videos are good as well.
I also suggest you share this with more people. This is valid until the end of the year.

I am a long time subscriber to Andrew's channel as well. It is worth a look.

Tropical Vegetables and Other Edibles / Growing rice without flooding

« on: March 24, 2021, 05:28:46 PM »

I recently became aware that flooding is used as a weed control method and is not a requirement for growing rice. This inspired me to learn more about it and maybe have a small scale production for my self and the family.

Is anyone growing rice without flooding, or has any experience on the subject?
Thank you.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Contemporary hydraulics/irrigation experts

« on: October 31, 2020, 04:34:02 PM »

Some one/company that would possibly be able to recreate something akin to the Tivoli Gardens. Some one able to use natural materials and work as Nature to create a natural irrigation system.
Does any one know of such people/companies and would like to share?
