Balcony with a view and Fatty's Live Vinegar House

She loves the Saturday trips to the nursery

Little green thumbs

She loves her flowers like you @Meesh hope to help her in the garden one day like your pops.

The owners weren’t as stoked with her picking flowers as she was but hey she’s only 2 :man_shrugging:t4:

Weather is crossing over seasons from dry to wet which means even less sun for my girls and an extra 20% humidity to deal with. Going to put mesh up on the fence this weekend to block the view and finally move the flowering plants outside off the balcony, my yields aren’t going to be worth the effort otherwise… they are barely worth it already and since the mornings are still sunny… as I’m typing this it just started pissing down, at 10am faaaark… maybe not then. In less than 6 weeks my green house roof will be built, that will be the game changer but I’m getting impatient. Decided to scrap a high cost design and just focus on keeping the rain off, originally I was going to go with a 100ft walipini style design but can’t afford it.

Meanwhile things are growing slower than cacti :cactus:


You are probably wondering why I don’t grow in a tent instead, we dont have the space or money unfortunately.

I thought some of you might be interested in how I make my effective microorganisms(EM). This is the base I use for fermenting bokashi bran and other bio ferments using things like moringa, canna leaves, comfrey etc.
Super simple just mix
500ml of LAB
500ml of blackstrap molasses
In a 20litre bucket with 19 litres of dechlorinate water, I used rain water.
Mix well, seal the lid and put in a cool dark place for 1 month and that’s it. It can also be added to your worm bin or compost pile to help speed up the process by adding beneficial bacteria.

Thanks for stopping by, I’ve moved my plants out in to full sun this week so hopefully things start to move a bit faster now… wet season is also in affect so it’s going to be a battle of the elements

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday, see the OG survival special with guests “The beast from the East and the thunder from down under” rage against the machine in Battle of the Elements! :sunglasses:
Just put mine in the sun today, they are weak and light green… the struggle for survival against the rainy season goes on.

The balcony grow has finally been moved in to the full sun, ironically right at the start of the wet season but there’s still plenty of sun especially in the mornings it just means I have to play a little musical chairs moving the pots through out the day but they can now potentially get the full 12hrs.

Game changer

Hey I see what you did there! Lol

You’re lucky I have a huge soft spot for baby animals. I may look tough on the outside, but on the inside I turn to jelly when I see cute little babies :grin:

Hoowee, those dogs are really fucking cute.

The plants are okay, too. I guess… haha.
