Dry season realities in my compound garden
Hello homesteading wishing you all happy New year.
Today I took some pictures of what is growing right inside my compound aloe vera, lemongrass, and scent leaf. These are plants I truly value not just for food and health but also for the joy that comes from growing what I use daily.
However, the dry season we are currently in has really caught up with them. Despite consistent watering I can clearly see signs of stress. The leaves look dry some are drooping and the growth has slowed down. The heat has been intense and the soil dries up very quickly.
This experience made me pause and think that
How do people sustain leafy plants like these during the peak of the dry season?
What local or low cost methods do they use to keep their plants fresh and healthy?
Do they mulch provide shade or water at specific times of the day?
Please I am open to learning from your experiences please help your brother. Homesteading for me is about observing nature sharing knowledge and growing better even in challenging seasons.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, am eagerly waiting for your response.
All pictures are taken by me.
Mulching will help retain moisture and keep the soil cooler.
Okay. Thank you for this contribution
Hello everyone I hope you are all good and well today
I'm only really sharing this because of this racist weirdo on Hive who really thinks downvotes and word's do anything all I can do is laugh 😂 and share the truth and we all know when your lying the truth hurts
Some try to say that downvotes are good for Hive but what good had come out of downvoting good honest people away 🤔
You some stupid whales on Hive trying to get others to promote Hive like it's something good and offers freedom when we all know it doesn't offer no freedom unless you are part of the gang ⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕
Here's some screenshots you might find very Interesting I only work with facts not made up stuff 😂
Anyone can talk shit 💩 it means nothing when there's evidence that shows the truth 😁
