Too Many Zucchini

We have too many Zucchini and other summer squash. Then I went on vacation and now we have too many giant Zucchini.

Plastic Bottle Green House

I want to be able to find this again. I might need it in the future.

Here's another Green House design

Growing Potatoes

Haven't grown any yet.

Not sure when I'll start.

But I liked this video and wanted to make sure I could find it again.

How to Plant and Grow Potatoes

Permaculture

It is an interesting topic

Wiki Definition

Some books about it.

Goodreads list of best Permaculture Books

 Here are a few on this list

Sepp Holzer's Permaculture

How to Grow More Vegetables .....  on less land than you can imagine.

Introduction to Permaculture

Permaculture: A Designers' Manuel



There are many more, like over 50. But I can't link them all. Simply don't have the time. But at least this is a start.

One Straw revolution is on the list. I link that elsewhere on the blog. So are a bunch of Tom Brown books. I have some of those left over from my home school days.

Had to add this one since if I get a book on permaculture, it would probably be this one:
Gaia's Garden (amazon)

Fermentation Fest

I never knew such a thing existed.

It was started by these folks:

The Wormfarm Institute

They hold the Fermentation Fest every year.

I may or may not make it to one. It makes it a lot easier since my brother happens to live nearby.

But whether or not I make it, I'm interested in buying a couple of books that I learned about while discovering this place.

The Art of Fermentation

And

Wild Fermentation

I'm interested in growing food and hopefully grow enough to preserve some for later.

Wild Blackberries

I have them on my land. I want to learn how to take care of them since they have volunteered so cheerfully to live and thrive without any help.

Here is an article from Mother Earth News on Blackberries.

A Couple of Backyard Aquaponics Bookmarks...

... For my own future reference.

This idea of a floating salad bar is so crazy, it just might work.

Since I'm looking at buying a large section of a grain bin as a pool and perhaps later as an aquaponics tank, I thought this thread utilizing a huge water tank and filtration system might be helpful for later.

Speaking of swimming pools, here is a thread talking about converting a pool into an aquaponics system that you can still swim in. It has other links to other interesting things within the thread.
