Ein Köhler

I talked to a guy who said that he doesn't think CO² emissions have not increased that much compared to earlier.
He was actually surprised the requirement is to get to zero or negative emissions, not just stop increasing -_-

If you (the reader) want to lazily support Cory Booker:
1. go to a livestream of him. like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2utlMxAwtE
2. mute the tab and do something else
3. enjoy the algorithm manipulation
Or listen to him for bonus points ^^

leeching fertilizer from your planting soil is a good thing too as far as i know :-)

A nice related trick i saw and successfully tried is to plant your seeds and do the initial watering with boiling hot water.
That is supposed to sterilize the soil and kickstart the sprouting process.
It sounds brutal and probably is, but i tested and it works.
(never do this with already sprouted seeds though -_-)

For fruit trees: Check out https://mundraub.org it is very german centric, but maybe there is an alternative for your area.
It is a searchable map of trees that are either abandoned or are free to harvest :-)

yeah, basically taping it on 😛 You have to ensure the correct combinations, though.
I hear of wild grafting, where one tree has 6 different fruits ^^

My point is:
If you manage to convince the state that
a) somebody will take care of the fruits or
b) the rotting fruits and rats will bother no one or
c) it is worth to pay for managing the fruits as community service
then you might have a good chance to convince the state to plant fruit trees.
Like why should they care if they are planting apple or oak.

I guess they are afraid of rats and wasps and do that on purpose.
And tbf managing fruit trees is probably more work than managing an oak.
In my area the state is planting loads of orchards not even intended to be harvested.
If you offer the ground the state will sent professional gardeners to plant and care for fruit trees for like 5 years i think.
They don't care if you use the fruits or not, but i guess that is because they can forget about it afterwards.

Yeah, i have a 10 liter bucket with like 30 garlic plants and another with a 70cm Lovage at my kitchen window. Works great 🙂
But i do cheat by having a 40watt lamp there for cannabis reasons.
I didn't manage Lettuce, Zucchini even with a garden, though -_-

shameless plug:
If you don't want to use Perlite, then consider #biochar. It is actually CO2 negative in production.
