Let’s discuss our plant growing challenges.

Hello Community, Several of you mentioned you want to grow herbs this year, so I thought it’d be a good time to start an herb conversation as the season begins to shift. I added some starter information in the Herbal Classroom (more is coming soon). I’m also attaching a simple primer on doshas / constitution, the internal tendencies that influence how we feel day to day. Before we match herbs to a symptom, it helps to understand your baseline: - Do you tend to be dry or moist? For example, is your mouth usually dry or does it stay damp? - Does it change at different times of day? - Do you tend to be cool or warm? Are you generally cold-natured or warm-natured? From there, we can choose herbs more wisely with some are warming and drying, others are cooling and moistening. What helps us best depends on what your body is asking for. Remember, you’re the only one who can truly hear your body speak. What herb are you most excited to grow this year?

Hello Community, I shared a few introductory LM videos to help us start seeing soil as a living neighborhood, not just dirt. Plants don’t thrive just because minerals exist, they thrive because soil life makes those minerals available. Synthetic fertilizers can act like a chemical “IV” pushing quick growth, but in nature, plants are fed through relationships between bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, arthropods, and more; each playing a role in cycling nutrients and building soil structure. This is why tilling can set a soil back, it breaks fungal networks, collapses pore spaces, and disrupts the habitat these organisms live in, like tearing the roof off the neighborhood. What questions do you still have as we keep building this understanding?

This unit is in the garage on the lower level. It keeps the garage warm and flows heat up the steps. 40F outside cost about $6 a day, when under 20 outside it counts about $10 a day.
