Hi all, I’ve heard that growing your own vegetable garden doesn’t offset the costs of buying them in store, due to the price of water. Is this true? If so what are ways to get free water if any, such as collecting rainwater etc so it becomes worth it in terms of cost as well?

Thanks!

I’m working on a university project that aims to create an app to allow users to know, based on their location, what plant (can be either fruits, vegetables, trees, bushes, lawns, …) they can grow in their garden.

For that I’m looking for a plant database that can provide various details such as:

• The Hardiness zone they can grow on
• The amount of sunlight required for their growth
• The amount of watering required for their growth
• When to plant/harvest them
• Their resistance to frost/drought/heavy winds

I have already checked Trefle API but thing is they are no longer maintaining their project and the database dump they provide is kinda useless but the idea would be to have something like that.

Interested in any idea you might have that could work for european countries (France, Belgium, …)

It sure looks great, though.

I’m super thrilled with how well this is going. Well, except for making that mistake on the foundation and having to demo the stem wall and rebuild it again. The mistake was trying a stabilized earthbag stem wall which would work just fine, but I discovered that I suck at earthbagin’ and hate it so much.

I just have to find the strength to make the roof in a timely fashion. It’s a living cactus roof. That’s gunna be rad. I could use some encouragement, though. Even though I hire subcontractors for most of the work, it’s a loooong and arduous travail. I am tired.

So i started to grow goji berries and im pretty disappointed in the taste. They are very bitter and waxy. I thought they would taste similar to the dried goji berries you get at the Asian markets.

Do these need to be sun dried first before eating? I have no idea what type of goji berries they are. All I know is they produce little purple flowers before fruiting.
