I've never heard of coco peat before. New term to me. Maybe because I've never bought a bag of potting soil. Or maybe because we don't have any coconut trees around here, and not many coconuts. Interesting technique. Good thing to keep in mind, but I'll probably keep starting my seeds in dirt. Good stuff, primo.

Our new land has over 2 meters of top soil. My aunt and uncle’s ranch has manure piles over 100 years old and they also have a bog for peat. I am also in Saskatchewan with the richest potash deposit in the world 🌎! So I am good. I still find it interesting how you create your solutions.

Most small garden fertilizer in old days came from your outhouse. Below my property is land that was owned for 165 years by my family. The outhouse was the PLACE for great soil and worms for fishing the brook. My grandfather would dig crawlers in Massachusetts or buy them....drive them up to "tha farm" and put half straight into the outhouse. I can go down to that property in spring and get worms from that same spot. Outhouse been gone for 20 years. Leaves sawdust all went in as a mix. Im making hugel beds. All my brush stacked in rows and covered with leaves. Add dirt from around the property and beautiful garden area within 2 years. As I clear property 22 acres....ill be building soil piles essentially with my brush and leaves. I also have roughly 10 years left in 3D sooooo...not going 2 nuts. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Coco Peat. Good name for a bartender in some tropical beach bar. You’ve even got a blender!

Looks like the coco peat would be good mixed with soil (that you've sterilized by heating it in a solar oven) to use as a seed starting medium :-) Would the blades on the coco peat machine work more efficiently if they were turned upwards a bit and sharper, like the blades in a blender?

Bravo! Not many grow their own seed stock either. Im watching.

you don't want to know how much peat I just had to "import" into my urban garden. The price you pay for living in a city instead of a farm....

thanks, am more privative than your set up at present. What is the blade set up for the grinder, i understand everything else thank you .

Looks like a plan to us dude!

Is this carbon neutral and could you get a grant from Uncle Joe? I read comments.... Not sure why peeps think this is not a great idea? cocopeat is a high end potting and composting thing up here in Canada. Having it free is awesome both now and in shtf. One thing I have always done is never 'start' indoors and never use potting or seed soils. All my stuff from seeds (presoaked) and into the actual ground. I figured in shtf I'd be able to maybe add stuff but best if I did not need to lose stuff. Growing calories in most places won't work very well. I plan to kayak down to you!

So many talks, boring
