The Secret Weapon of Annual Gardening
Annual vegetables reproduce very quickly and in turn are very susceptible to inbreeding depression. After heavy selective breeding, they lack the genetic diversity to adapt to various climates and soil types. Remixing genetics allows a gardener to broaden the genetics of a vegetable variety and restore vigor. Through interpollination and saving crossbreed seed, a gardener can adapt a variety to the local climate. After the initial mixing of genetics and saving seed from this mix, the gardener can reselect for desirable traits as long as genetic diversity is maintained.

Loading A Compost Cage
We are making thermophyllic compost using a method inspired by the work of Dr. Elaine Ingham and Dr. David Johnson. This compost can be made quickly while we are waiting for our static pile compost to mature. Stay tuned for more updates and biofertilizer experiments
