Hi there!

Im so excited to join this community. My partner was a member almost a decade ago and im happy to be back on our behalf. I am a seasoned gardener and herbalist in a 5b zone in the US. I’m interested in finding unique and staple plants, flowers, foods, herbs etc. and am excited to share what I have too!

Thanks for having me!

Truffles depend highly on your soil (too much clay won't work for truffles) and on the tree (oaks are the surest bet). You do not have to wait "many years" - in the third years mine were growing.
But, essential for mushrooms is a) soil b) tree c) PH-value
As many mushrooms form symbiosises (that's the plural?), the best way is to soak dried mushrooms (the ones you like to grow) in water and than either water the tree with this mixture (positive outcome not guaranteed), or put the naked roots of a young tree over night in this mixture - I tried it with chanterelles and it did work perfectly!

hello there from Brittany!

I started creating different wind breaks in our garden. Not too high and loosely placed in order to well integrate. The micro-climates created by those small breaks are incredible - I grow kiwi, akebia and other tropical plants now without massive walls surrounding me.

"The Walipini (underground or pit greenhouse) in this bulletin is designed specifically for the area of La Paz, Bolivia. However, the principles explained in the bulletin make it possible to build the Walipini in a wide variety of other geographic and climatic conditions. The word ‟Walipini” comes from the Aymara Indian language of this area of the world and means ‟place of warmth”. The Walipini utilizes nature’s resources to provide a warm, stable, well-lit environment for year-round vegetable production. Locating the growing area 6’- 8’ underground and capturing and storing daytime solar radiation are the most important principles in building a successful Walipini."

Hey there,
I am Philippe from Brittany and I just joined this forum! I have been growing/ experimenting with edible plants & mushrooms for some years now and am still stoked about seeds coming to life, growing & flowering.
As the climate in Brittany is very humid and very mild, it is actually a pretty amazing place for experiments.
Depending on the season, I always have different seeds to share!

Does anyone have advice how to get your Kratom plants into a compact shape?

In a 2 meter high grow tent they quickly reach the top, becoming rather long and spindly. A long strong stem without leaves or branches, then a few branches at the top, all quite lanky. Any chance to get it more into a shrub form? Even cutting back the main stem to half high just resulted in the plant pushing out one long branch from that point, instead of branching out.

How to get it to branch out more?

Maybe cut it back to a few centimeters above ground and hope that it will regrow as a shrub? Or is that going to kill it? The stem is already quite strong, about 2-3cm thick just above the soil.
