A Food Forest In Your Garden
Plan it - Grow it - Cook it

I think self sufficient living means it's a good idea to learn to bake bread because if it becomes more difficult to obtain then this is the solution.

Homemade Lavender Dryer Bags

You’ll need:
• Dried lavender flowers
• Organza favor bags

Instructions:
This project doesn’t really need instructions, but it felt wrong not to include them…so here goes.

Just take a spoon or a small scoop and fill the bags with dried lavender flowers.

Tie them off tightly (using 3 or 4 knots just to be safe), and voila! You’ve got a dryer bag.

Using Your Dryer Bags:
Toss a bag into the dryer along with your laundry. Your clothes will smell wonderful when they’re done drying!

You can use each bag between 5 and 10 times before the flowers run out of fragrance. Once that happens, you can untie the bag, dump out the old flowers, and put some fresh ones in. You can also toss your lavender buds with a few drops of lavender essential oil if desired.

As for the old flowers…save those to sprinkle on your carpet before vacuuming. The brush of your vacuum will release the last bit of lavender scent, and freshen up your carpets.

#DIY

Solar power, wood burners and gas cylinders, hot water bottles ...at the ready.
How is anybody expected to come up with that amount of cash(£571 per household a month)? People will be eating raw food or only buying it precooked at this rate to put in the microwave.

How to set up a Bee Water Station in your garden!

-Can use a small bowl or convert bird bath that sits in the yard/garden.
-Add rocks or marbles or crystals of various sizes to create platforms for the bee’s to walk on.
-Fill up the bowl with fresh water so that some rocks are slightly submerged and some are partially above water line. These mini platforms are inportant.
-Check on your new BEE water station weekly to refill & make sure the bee’s have a reliable source of water.

***note Bee’s breathe from their bellies, so if they become submerged they can no longer breathe very shallow water is key.***

If no bee's are visiting the new bee water station, add a couple of lemongrass essential oil drops to the edges of the bowl (not in the water) Lemongrass scent attracts bee’s as it is very similar to their own pheromones.

How are you creating a water resource for your local bees? Share a pic below.

GROWING POTATOES IN A BAG OR POT

-Use large sturdy bag, or pot 8-10 gallons.

-Make a few small holes in the bottom of bag to prevent the bag becoming waterlogged or choose pot with drainage holes.

-Fill the bottom of the bag/pot with 4-5” of compost or soil.

-Plant 2-4 ‘sprouted’ potatoes with eyes (depending on size) evenly spaced in bag/pot.

-Add rest of compost/soil to fill almost to top leaving couple inches.

-Place in a light, bright location balcony/deck/yard and continually water well.

-Water when top 2” is dry and water till excess comes out of base. Do not over water or seed potatoes will rot.

-After aprox 90-110 grow days depending on variety & the potato plant starts to turn yellow/brown and wilt it is HARVEST time!

-Turn over bag/pot and dump onto ground or tarp and dig through for a wonderful potato harvest.

-Enjoy your yield and remember to save a few new potatoes to sprout for another planting round!
