Carbon Gardens: Part 6 - Edible Carbon Gardens

SolarPunk Permaculture

Edible Carbon Gardens Ever since your run-in with the forest mage, you've been racking your brain tryna remember seeing any limes in the forest. After a few days, the thought gradually catches up with you - *There aren't usually that many edible species in a natural growth forest system. Not many you know of with limes anyway. In our day and age, fruits, along with nuts and timbers and fibres and edible foods and medicines, are usually grown in orchards or greenhouses, or in properly managed, straight-line farms. And often this is for logical reasons. Growing edible foods for populations of humans that eat a couple of times a day on average is no easy feat. You want to be organised so you can keep up to date with the latest growth patterns, nutrient holding capacities and an array of other water and sunlight-related data points. But these food factories. And I mean quite literally, factories. Are often designed to function like the robot arms on C-Deck. Incredible feats of engineering as they are, they're rarely running on truly regenerative software. The fact is. We can model our carbon gardens the way our forests do naturally. Which also means we can leverage the Gaian algorithm to produce an abundant edible carbon garden... If the hangover from your mojito had any silver linings, it's the pounding memory of brollies in the bushes. If the genie's blue aura still bedazzles your subconscious with his loud proclamations of soil protection. If that crazy little nymph hadn't knocked your knees into nursery mode. Then I guess you wouldn’t know what to do by now. But because you've been collecting observational data over many moons, you're probably beginning to realise you’ve got yourself a pretty valuable and practical tool kit to start your own edible carbon garden. The type that can and will feed you and your community for good. -------- @mr.betteridge --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/solarpunkpermaculture/message
