Gezocht: Voedselboswachters voor Nederland en België > Op tientallen plaatsen in Nederland en België wordt gezocht naar collega-Voedselboswachters, die willen helpen bij bestaande initiatieven of met anderen nieuwe voedselbossen willen realiseren. In meer dan 100 ha voedselbos zijn al Voedselboswachters werkzaam. Een Voedselboswachter heeft een of meer van de volgende vaardigheden nodig: initiator, organisator, liefhebber van de natuur, netwerker, idealist, maar bovenal iemand die bereid is tot samenwerking want er moet veel via samenwerking met overheden, organisaties en andere deelnemers geregeld worden voordat een voedselbos kan worden gerealiseerd. De eetbare bossen zijn de beste vorm van samenwerking tussen de mens, de natuur en de aarde. De Voedselboswachter is hiervoor de ambassadeur. Het oudste voedselbos van Nederland ligt in Groesbeek en is aangelegd in 2010.
Voedselbossen zullen op termijn de landbouw en ons landschap drastisch gaan veranderen. Hoe leg je een voedselbos aan? – Praktijkervaring. Contact Related In "Inspiratie" Over deze blog | Eetbaar Landschap. Hallo! Ik ben Vicky. Ik heb een passie voor de natuur maar ook voor lekker eten (uit de natuur). Mijn persoonlijk aards paradijs -waar ik al enkele jaren aan werk op kleine schaal- is dan ook een eetbaar landschap: een plek die er natuurlijk uitziet en waar zoveel mogelijk lekkers te vinden is of waar zoveel mogelijk ‘natuur’ (fauna en flora) aanwezig is.Met natuurlijk uitziend bedoel ik:een landschap met bomen, klimplanten, struiken, lage planten, bodembedekkers, paddenstoelen, …die allemaal lekkers geven of waar veel leven op af komt. Bijvoorbeeld: een bos(je) met notenbomen en fruitbomen waartussen bessenstruiken en kruiden groeien en waarin hier en daar nog een kiwibessenplant of andere klimmer met eetbaars naar boven kronkelt.
Wat ik niet versta onder ‘natuurlijk’ zijn veldjes met maar 1 soort gewas dat mooi op rijtjes groeit (zoals in landbouwgebied).En met ‘natuurlijk’ bedoel ik ook:natuurlijke processen zo goed mogelijk behouden en/of nabootsen. Forest.
Zoekertjes. Zaad en plantgoed. Hoe planten telen. Serre. Fruitbomen. Growing Celery Indoors: Never Buy Celery Again | 17 Apart: Growing Celery Indoors: Never Buy Celery Again. Remember when we tested and shared how to grow onions indefinitely last week? Well, at the same time, we've been testing out another little indoor gardening project first gleaned from Pinterest that we're excited to share the successes of today — regrowing celery from it's base. We've figured out how to literally re-grow organic celery from the base of the bunch we bought from the store a couple weeks ago. I swear, we must have been living under a rock all these years or just not be that resourceful when it comes to food, but we're having more fun learning all these new little tips and tricks as we dive deeper into trying to grow more of our own food.
This project is almost as simple as the onion growing project — simply chop the celery stalks from the base of the celery you bought from the store and use as you normally would. We let our celery base hang out in the saucer of water for right around one week, give or take. Update 2: Here's how we are looking at almost 3-4 weeks of growth:
How to Grow Green Onions Indefinitely | 17 Apart: How to Grow Green Onions Indefinitely. I'm officially dubbing this the week of Scallions and Pinterest. Mary and I separately came across 2 trending ideas for using and growing green onions on the highly addictive bookmarking site, Pinterest, last week — we couldn't wait to try them. When I came home over the weekend with a bunch of scallions, Mary exclaimed, "did you see this scallion/ginger sauce I pinned — you should totally make that! " Little did she know I had pinned it hours before her, which is virtually light years in terms of Pinterest discoveries. I had been planning to make this ginger scallion sauce from Lottie + Doof since I first set eyes on it.
Find my own variation on the recipe newly published on E.A.T. — this is one I'd definitely recommend trying. It's a great little accompaniment that could be used in so many ways. Think bread, scrambled eggs, hot dogs, meats, pastas and more... So, back to scallions and Pinterest. All I can say is... it works!
See how much the roots have extended as well... P.S. 50 Resources To Help You Become More Self-Sufficient. We live in an interdependent world. Although at one time all of humankind lived independently and self-sufficiently, group cooperation allowed for more efficient use of resources when hunting and gathering, raising young, making clothing and tools, and building shelters. Banding together ensured our long-term survival; dividing labor into specialized tasks has helped sculpt today’s modern, globalized society.
Because of specialization, we enjoy a high quality of life. Yet being a small cog in the greater machine means we are often disconnected from – and unaware of – the processes that go into fulfilling our most basic needs. Becoming more self-sufficient means you’ll develop practical skills that will surely serve you well throughout your lifetime.
