Good morning! The correctional Institute comment was me! It's Sumpter Correctional in Bushnell. Yes, they are bringing in mulch, and manure also because it's free. They are doing aquaponics with a koi pond, and have almost 200 koi. My brother is the designer of their aquaponics/pond system. They watch all your videos! I'd love to see them incorporate your master classes as part of their training program. So glad to see Jim got the alley! That will be a great space for expansion.

I work as a nurse at a prison here in Farmington MO and we have a greenhouse. SO hard to get compost and supplies. They grow some veg but gets donated to food pantry. They don’t allow offenders to eat it. Part of restorative justice. We have many flower beds and they get on quite a competition. Our medical building had the most beautiful flower beds this year considering we are working with nothing. Bare hands and small plastic containers to work dirt. No watering hoses so we have to be creative. You can’t trust them with fruit as they make hooch. I wish they’d let them grow enough to feed everyone. Would make them healthier and save tax money. They won’t let me bring seeds in. Was a huge mental health hospital and farm and dairy in late 1800’s. They supplied their own food and dairy back them. Great idea they’re always asking me the name of plants. Fun
@laneeacannon1450 Жыл бұрын
Maybe if you reach out to community centers, gardening clubs, garden centers they might donate some tools/supplies. Composting should be done on site. All the food scraps, cardboard, paper, coffee grounds that accumulates should be enough to fill a ditch. Throw some bokashi on it.

So short sighted. Imagine the inmates coming to dinner and having a questionnaire to answer about do you want us to plant X or Y this year, brought to them by their "market garden" peers. A couple of bee hives, compost heap, and worm farm and you would have a platform for some of the inmates to break the cycle of boredom, learn new skills, develop a hobby. Impoverished areas on the outside are food deserts.

@@jiewang5175 Hey there this may help - Jim mentions "Azomite" which is a mineral powder. A good supplier is "Down to Earth Organics" if you reside in the US. The other term is probably "Colloidal Phosphate" powder, or "Rock Phosphate" as it's called sometimes. Jim's recipe is inspired by the Eliot Coleman soil block recipe.

You can eat the leaves of cauliflower and broccoli. We use them in place of kale and it’s delicious 😋 Maybe you can sell the leaves as well to get more out of the harvest?
