Oddbean new post about login | logout About the power of #open #source in #gardening: "Over the next 3 months, we created a new normal where 19 of the 30 houses on our block in Austin, TX hosted a front yard #community #garden. We began blogging about our mistakes and successes and open-sourced the vision. Over the past 7 years, over 350 branches of #Food is #Free have sprouted around the world from amazing people like you!" https://foodisfreeproject.org/about-us/
@aaed8915 Their raised wicking bed is a wicking fantastic idea! I love the idea of a garden bed that only needs to be watered 1-2 times a month, but has protection from over watering! And all made from found materials! I just want to find a way of doing it without using materials that are likely to leach toxic chemicals into the food. Heat treated pallets are ok, but using tarps seems problematic, and I wonder how long the tarp+burlap would last. #OpenSourceGardening #Gardening
