Re: Fruit tree purchase

I purchased an apple tree sapling from Derry Walsh (https://www.derrysorchardandnursery.ca). She had a great display at the Langley Seedy Saturday in March 2022 with so much selection (apples, pears, cherries, gooseberries, currants, and more). And she's very knowledgeable as she has many years expe...

Re: Mushrooms

Hey Jordana, I've read and watched a lot of mushroom growing videos as well and I've decided to try wine caps (Stropharia rugoso-annulata) as they grow in wood chips instead of needing logs and drilling holes to put the spawn in. And the beds seem fairly low maintenance with a good success rate and ...

Re: Making LABS from Leachate

I can't seem to find this in the course module but can I get the recipe for making LABS with milk and worm leachate from my bin?

Re: Food Security Steph

Re: Burdock

Hi Jack - I think you're fine to treat it as an annual and manage it that way. I haven't seen it aggressively spread in this part of the province but it's good to include in the discussion as it might be a bigger problem in other areas. I manage a patch of stinging nettles (not on the list - there i...

Re: Burdock

Hi Jack - I did an in-person Foraging workshop this summer lead by Mrs Locavore (she's on Instagram) in Langley as I want to learn about medicinal and herbal properties of plants too. She took us on a tea foraging workshop through the Langely Demonstration Garden and Arboretum. She pointed out a hug...

Re: Hello From Pitt Meadows

Hi Jen - It sounds like we live close by and I've got 6 year old twin girls (& a plus 1) who love to help in the garden too! And I'm really looking forward to more intentional planning of my garden as I tend to cram it all in too.

Before having my own family, I worked with a non-profi...
