this is dry dandelion root its basically a supplement liver powder, when baked its a good coffee sub that doesn’t have the crash
its very hap hazard and not really efficient but homy and as cheap as possible
i collect seeds from the things i eat and things i grow in the future i want to get the genome of a few of the plants copied like that sunflower that is crazy

You are from Utah, right? I see some big trees in the background but the soil does not look rich in humus. How well does stuff grow where you live, is it harder to grow there?

super clay filled soil in holladay utah things grow well its been basically sense it was settled by the mormons its been worked this land pre ww2 was a orcard and the new up and coming area in the “country” its been a cow farm a orchard and now housing for the wealthy lmao
the soil is shit and i keep hitting MASSIVE rocks ive been workign on this hill for 2 years and i kinda do a thing my great grandpa from poland did while farming to keep water and make room for roots
bury logs and trees and sticks and leaves deep as fuck and then add the clay back with grass clippings throughout its gonna take years to get everything to where its gonna grow well
raspberries grow fucking well they love the soil here
utah used to be a inland sea and water so high the mountains were islands
so theres alot of calcium and shit that fucks plants in this ammount
plant love some calcium but not this much
you will find alot of trash and bones cause how long the area didnt have trash services
i dig up ribs and teeth and all sorts of bones and glass and things
i found old milk jug lids only about 5 inches down
its keeping it good for plants thats the struggle

I see, thank you for the explanation. I have a picture of Utah in my mind, alas I have never been there, that it is more a scarce kind of landscape. In your pictures there are a lot more plants and more gardening in general than I would have suspected to be possible. Now that you have mentioned the clay I think I am able to see it in the pictures. I am happy following your progress. Keep posting, please
