Hot off the press! This video is only three and a half minutes long. And in that three and a half minutes, a huge amount of permaculture is demonstrated: 1) filmed in august and there has been zero irrigation 2) the leaves on the squash plants are flawless 3) horetail (equisetum) has been sprayed to control blight/mildew 4) the flavor of the blueberries is far better than the other blueberries I have tasted on this trip. https://www.youtube.com/paulwheaton12#p/u/0/4KLt6R90VlQ Thanks!
horsetail/equisetum is a noxious weed in Australia and had been banned but biodynamic gardeners do use casaurina teas as a substitue which is also high in silica.
