Eliminate watering & weeding with mulch mounds & electroculture 🌱

in HiveGarden β€’ 10 months ago

Water restrictions are becoming more and more common here in the south of france due to lack of rain so to combat this we are creating gardens which don't need watering. We are doing this by trapping moisture in the ground with logs and mulch either side of a soil layer, as described in this post.

A diagram of the basic technique here.

In addition we are including three electroculture techniques which will further boost the plants.

  • An antenna (likely a cloudbuster)
  • Basalt in the soil
  • Magnetised cables in the soil

Enjoy the film!

Electroculture is fascinating. I hope you experience a bountiful garden despite all the water restrictions.

Hello there @ironshield & family! How is the winter developing with you i wonder? We've had amazing warm sunshine for the last few weeks but temperatures will be dropping down to sub zero in a week. As for the restrictions they are very much still in place but if these mulch mounds work we will do this on all our land and ultimately be able to stay 'legal'.

Many thanks for all the lovely tokens πŸ™

It's been a mild winter here, yesterday felt like spring and now it's cold and snowing.

Difficulties often bring about innovations, keep trying until something works. I think you're on to something big!

Welcome for the tokens, have some more!

Wow! Very interesting project with a lot of work. This would save a lot of water and water bills.
I have started putting dry leaves around my fruit trees to keep moisture inside the soil. The dry season is very bad for the all as it tends to dry up very fast.

The countryside looks lovely with blue sky and views of mountains.

By the way, have many people on the village started to pass away from vaxx effects?! Here things have begun to accelerate.

Absolutely right about saving water. In the heat of the summer we usually water every day to stop the plants from dying so this is a total game changer and will ultimately create lots of free time for us when normally we would be watering.

I guess you could say it's lots of work. It's a fun kind of work and feels very useful in getting the muscles working again after a number of months without much movement.

Good idea putting leaves down around your fruit trees. Just how it is in a natural forest, leaves and branches always fall down every year and ultimately create food for the trees by enriching the soil.

As for vaxxed people they have been slowly dying since the vaccine rollout, most people in the first year. One person died just last week in fact (bringing the total to around 15 now), while another person has just been diagnosed with cancer and their situation is not looking good. Even our village Mayor looks so sick. He lost a load of weight this winter and has purple bags under his eyes which are so puffy and swollen, something is evidently going very wrong in his body and i will be surprised if he makes it to the end of the year.

Yet still the people have no idea why they are all getting sick.

So yes, i can't really say that things are accelerating in this village but speaking to friends they tell me more and more people are dying in France everywhere. Our (church) electroculture antenna is likely helping to keep people alive longer than those who live in the cities.
