Good evening folks! How do we prevent rodents from entering into our Hugelkultur this winter? Are there any non toxic ways to combat critters from sheltering in our beds? Take care.

M.K! How are you? I'll check out Field And Forest for the mushroom mix. Do they accept PayPal as a source of payment? Thanks!

What's happening! I'd like to find out how I create my own compost bin with simple materials all recycled nothing expensive and free from critters in the winter or anytime throughout the year. Where could we find the simplest materials from our local hardware or horticulture stores? Could please share some examples of how a compost bin can be done at anytime throughout the year? I'd like to build one this winter in my backyard. Please reach me if you need me. Good night!

Good evening friends! How's everyone? I'd like to find out how I assemble a corn grinder. I have Estrella and I'm trying to assemble it. I don't know how to read instructions well and which is which. Anybody has videos and stuff on how to put together an Estrella? I'm trying to make flour for cornmeal or mush, tortillas and stuff without going to no store everyday. Please reach me if you all need me. Good night!

Good evening! Found one of my targets in the Winnigstat cabbage and successfully obtained them from a seed company in Illinois yesterday. Looking forward to growing the historic variety to help reclaim memories of my community's German settler past in Chicago to edify everybody. If anybody has any of the stuff I mentioned on the list, please let me know in the Purple Moosage. Take care.

Good evening friends. Blake back seeking a few key targets for his Balkan garden this year and beyond to help his community remember their past. Here's a short list.
1. Osmak white corn
2. Serbian white pumpkin
3. Sunny Creek (Serbian) cucumber
4. Serbian or Croatian red onion
5. Serbian or Croatian carrot
6. Serbian sweet melon
Needing more help to accomplish a successful European settler garden in Chicago where I have one of the largest Serbian populations in America and among the largest Balkan populations in the country outside of their motherlands. My community has a rich economic and religious history of these ethic peoples who have contributed greatly despite scars being left behind.
If anybody has seeds of any of those, please message me on the Purple Moosage so we can discuss ways to obtain them this year since I don't know anybody from the Balkans and will have trouble bringing them to America due to the legal obstacles. Be blessed.

Cool process! Where I get the bag and mushroom mix from? Could we find those at any store such as Home Depot or Ace? And do they have the large plastic bag as shown on YouTube? Thanks!

Good evening M! Your beautiful encouragement is more than welcome and it's an inspiring sight. Wish there's more people out there to aid me on my quest. My love for horticulture and nature has been a treasure and they empowered me lot to aid others and myself. Take care friend.
