⬛️ Biochar
Here is biochar: activated charcoal available to be added to compost.
Biochar is often produced from burning 🪵 wood in 🔥 fire pits.
By adding “#biochar” to any ComPost, such as a 🥗 compost pile,🪣 compost bin, 🚽 composting toilet, 💚 compost deposit, or 💩 commit, you increase the soil’s capacity to support biodiversity.

🌱 Invest in the Natural Human Diet 🌞
King Fresh Fruit & Dried Seafood sells fresh durian whose seeds can be germinated.
Price: $15/lb, ~$75/fruit
Seeds: ~9-18
Fresh durian is a complete food. By investing in a fresh durian, you enjoy a full spectrum of nutrients and seeds that can be germinated to grow durian trees.
Volunteer propagators with Lupin Gardens would be happy to germinate provided durian seeds.
Donations to Lupin Gardens can be left at the Lupin Lodge front office.

Proposal: 🌿 Central Park
Residents of Central Park area have expressed interest in incorporating more plants into Central Park.
To start, I recommend building biochar compost at The Clearing to amend the dry top soil here.
The regions blocked in orange are recommended as vegetable gardens
The various shades of green represent fruit trees and understory flowering plants.
The sections with blue represent suggested campsites, parking spaces, and picnic tables.
Developing Central Park into a lush garden would improve the image of the entrance to Lupin Lodge.
Proposal: 🍽🌱 Kitchen Garden
At the time of this writing, the composts on the Lupin Lodge campus are not ready to be applied on the surface. However in a few nearby trials, buried compost was undisturbed by local animals.
L’s Nursery
I am a fruitarian, a style of life where one handles a lot of seeds.
I would like more fruit trees in the world.
I plant the seeds in pots of mixed biochar soils and chart them on PlantDiary.
I give the rest away, with biochar soil, to provide others with fruit trees.
I believe everyone should have fruit trees.
Join me for Garden Day at Lupin Lodge!
