3 Tips to Help You Live SUSTAINABLY!

1. Save every jar (within reason). I use upcycled mason jars from nut butters and salsa all the time. They’re great for holding dried goods, propagating plants and much much more. Just make sure it doesn’t become an obsession…

2. Eat more plants! Animal agriculture (in a factory farm setting) has a highly negative impact on the environment, but you don’t have to go fully vegan to make a difference. Just incorporating more veggies on your daily dinner plate can be a great first step, and make sure to support the local farmers in your area.

3. Rethink your transportation. The majority of car rides are within 5 miles of your home, so to cut down on environmental and traffic pollution, why not try a bike or public transportation instead? And if you have to drive, think about investing in an EV as there are lots of federal rebate programs available.

3 Tips for Anyone that Wants to Start Growing! ??|| Farmer Nick

/in , ,

3 Tips to Get GROWING! ?

1. Seeds!

Experiment with seeds! Yes, it may take longer, but it is incredibly rewarding and very cost-efficient. Plus you can start indoors with microgreens and level up to growing crops that can be transplanted (or succession planted) all throughout the growing season.

2. Lights!

Invest in grow lights. Not only will grow lights be valuable for your edible plants, but they also supplement the lighting for your houseplants during the darker winter months. Grow lights nowadays are very energy efficient and can blend in with most house lighting fixtures.

3. Check in!

Perform daily check-ins with your plants. This will allow you to be proactive and catch potential problems early and often. I do this for my indoor and outdoor plants (time permitting depending on the size of your garden) and it will save you lots of time and heartache in the future.

VIDEO: How to Care for Kumquat & Limequat trees ??with Summer Rayne Oakes

/in , , ,

Join Summer Rayne Oakes of Homestead Brooklyn as she guides us through the process of repotting and nurturing Kumquat and Limequat trees.

A Kumquat is a delightful orange-like fruit indigenous to Southeast Asia. Unlike many fruits, the rind of a kumquat is entirely edible and is where most of the fruit’s nutrients are packed. On the other hand, a Limequat is an intriguing hybrid of the Kumquat and Key lime, inheriting attributes from both.

For the optimal growing medium, Summer uses a mix of Espoma Organic Potting Soil and Espoma Organic Perlite, ensuring her trees get the best start.
