Gardening

We use it for fertilizing almost everything or now amending the soil. Since it’s early enough I mix it in directly and allow it to decompose naturally. Because its roots go so deep into the ground it pulls up a lot of the minerals needs for good growth.

We did green bean in straw bales this year…they (the beans) love it. Must of picked 20 pounds so far. They get dehydrated and stored in glass containers. Throw into soups and stews to rehydrate tons of flavor. That’s how most of the onions will be processed.

Dehydrating a lot more this year to save on freezing so much. Onions, potatoes, squash, tomatoes, celery carrots, corn all those a being dehydrated. Some broth, beef or chicken throw in the dry ingredients bam!…soup or stew.
At this time we have about 3 months of meals in ‘dry dock’. This includes a variety of beans and lentils.

Started this a couple years ago with the idea…”if it all goes to shit we got this”. Properly stored dehydrated veggies can last years.
