RE: Still Eating Fresh, From The Garden!

the rains aren't the problem, its nutrients.
making sure you plant appropriate plants for acidic soils, and not arrid climate things.
The other plus is, rotating the second planting... meaning, do not replant the exact same type of plant. No tomato right into the ground where tomato was, no zucchini, into zucchini, etc. Change up what goes there.

Remember, Composting is your friend.

We are going to grow under fully organic conditions, which means composting is going to be essential. Off-grid is the eventual plan. We don't want to be dependent on municipal anything, especially water and electricity. I dunno about rain not being the problem; it's the problem for local farmers. Many erect greenhouse-type structures over their crops to divert the water. I'd rather just used raised beds filled with native soil or huglekultur filled with compost. I'm pretty excited to get started with all of this.
