    Small ones with grow light that can stand bij the window, for a lower price and then payable.

    Thank you Gid for doing justice!

    Please help out this farmer, maybe you can setup something to collect money and stuff he needs. Now he will have to fight to get his stuff back, may justice be served. It our future to, our rights and for the next generations.

    In Europe it is already being made almost impossible, do not let the same happen in your country’s.

    That is so wrong, why did they not come out and just saying the truth. That it was what they did and sorry, is that so hard just to be honest after doing wrong.

    Bayer now over here, beginning of the end was my first thought. We will see in time, if the farmers, buyers and consumers can stay free.

    One of the gene bank we work with is at a university, there in the Netherlands and are far in these practices. It is how the commercials breeds are made, but also to protect the old heirloom breeds.

    They are able to crow more then just one generation so more generations in one year in greenhouses. And take out or put in gene, in laboratories and then grow the multiple generations in a year.

    Yes both they will give yearly growth, also done for fire wood. But not with the fruit and nuts, Salix is a good one to use like that. And yes as fencing from dead twigs or even living, can make tunnels and huts kids and big kids like us love them. And it is so nice in there, like a living air conditioner.

    With heirloom you got to find the right ones and grow them generations to let them adapt. Keeping them from cross breeding, takes a lot of distance, barrier, covering and work. You can see Deep South Homestead there experience, those seeds are gone. For them to mutch work to back breeding, time will find out if it is possible to breed the back by hard selection. That is how gene banks growers do that with the couple seeds left, if not it is all lost. But it takes years growing and selecting, to get them stable enough so you and others are able to buy them in a couple years and keep buying them.

    So treasure the growers that are doing these hard work , to preserve for you all and next generations.

    Look up the story from the Russia gene bank, they are true heroes and gave their lives for the preservation of all those seeds, bulbs and plants. And years of hard work from the gene banks, a part is saved in that world gene bank to.

    Who said I did not tried it? I am feeding the chickens and rabbits greens, also from bushes and trees. The chickens foraging themselves al day, they also take the fruits they can reach. Fruit and nuts bushes and trees in there pastures, each group has his own and connects so if it is empty they can go there.

    I was just saying the farmers and biogas Anlage will not go there, tried to explain why. Those biogas are so big with multiple uge tanks. They are laughing already that I use a sense, but what if fuel is hard to get?

    I personally think we should treasure our old wayward and knowledge, so we are able to give it to our next generations because they have a right to that! I am already working together with my best friend my little sister from different parents, teaching her al I am able to. And with a community, to build a community for our area. And hoping others will do the same, seeing it is not so stupid as they think but hard work will pay off.

    It is good you do what you are doing, keep on doing and learning. Also check out collecting scraps (witch is forbidden in Europe) and composting with chickens, works really good. And only takes a meter x meter. A different set up with composting worms and soldiers flies, growing with that compost for your family and animals.

    Hope you understand what I all wrote now.

    Did you read all I have written, there are so many farmers and biogas Anlage here. They will not switch to this old way, even if they wanted to. The hybrids business and machinery business will not letting them, they will just nit be able to.

    We grow old heirloom breeds for gene banks, and the hybrids business let us because they use the old breeds to make new hybrids. We are no competition to there business, and our work is so mutch more and less it will give than hybrids. Also with old bushes and trees, fruit and nuts you name it.

    I believe in old breeds, beacause they are created by God and not man made. That is why I support growing old heirloom breeds, to protect for the next generations. And I can tell you it costs, it is not my work.

    Old but not forgotten yet, grass and corn and potatoes brings more for less work. Also it sells better, hybrids business will not support this old way. Also a lot of machines are made for the hybrids business and not the old way.

    The chickens go out to get leaves before feed, when they are changing their feathers so they must now it does them good.
