What Are Planting Zones?
What Are Planting Zones?
Planting zones are areas you can find on a growing zone map that show exactly which plants or crops are best suited to thrive in your given area, or zone. When shopping for new plants for your garden landscape, the terms “plant hardiness zones,” “growing zones” and “planting zones” may at first seem a bit confusing. In essence, plant hardiness zones have been used by growers for years to simply identify the plants that are most likely to survive in their area. Being able to understand a hardiness zone map means you’ll have a starting point for making wise planting decisions.
Temperature Range for Planting Zones
Temperature Range for Planting Zones
Planting zones are broken down into thirteen areas which cover the entire United States, including Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico. Each agricultural zone covers a 10-degree range. Zone 1 is the coldest, with an average minimum winter temperature of -60 to -50 degrees F, while the minimum winter average temperature in Zone 13 is 60 to 70 degrees F.
What Planting Zones are in New York State?
What Planting Zones are in New York State?
Four cities are highlighted in NYS: Albany, Buffalo, NYC, & Rochester. Albany, Buffalo, and Rochester are Zone 6a. The NYC area is 7b because it has warmer temperatures. Unfortunately, there is no space for farmland in NYC (relative to the rest of NYS).

Food Dome..
This bad boy can feed 50 thousand (50,000) people a day. It costs $12 million to build.
It creates its own water supply by pulling moisture from the air. It is 1/3 the cost to operate compared to a normal farm.
No GMO'S
No pesticides
No roundup. ❤

Dr Zac Bush - Glysophate And Healing.pdfDr Bush lists the Reasons that make it very difficult for Farmers to Transition to Organic Farming:
Many are locked into debt structures
In an area where most of the farms are being farmed with chemicals, there often is a collective agreement amongst farmers, that you don’t talk about farming problems, you don’t tell anybody that your crop yields have been decreasing for years, and you certainly don’t tell anyone that you think chemical farming is hurting your children and causing birth defects - this leads to feelings of isolation, depression and helplessness
Collapsing health in the families due to chemical contact and aerial spraying.
Emotional family tension
Misinformation given to the farmer by Big Ag
Community/peer pressure - many farmers who take the jump to Regenerative Agriculture are immediately ostracized - no one will talk to you at the bank, at church or at the bar because the perception is, that by making the jump you have made a judgement call on everyone else. Lack of community is the biggest reason farmers resist moving to regenerative agriculture
Solutions:
Educate the farmers on No-till Organic Regenerative practices
Provide a financial safety net for farmers while transitioning to these new methods

A Nebraska Greenhouse That Grows Lemons and Oranges
Can the Midwest grow citrus? - Russ Finch lives in northwestern Nebraska in the town of Alliance. He designed and built 'The Greenhouse in the Snow,' a greenhouse that runs only on a small fan that circulates geothermal heat. Using energy costs of 80 cents a day, Russ produces hundreds of pounds of citrus fruit every year to sell at local farmer's markets using only the heat from the earth in the winter and its coolness in the summer
The Nebraska Greenhouse (con't)
Winter temperatures in Alliance, Nebraska can drop to 20°F (the record low is -40°F/C), but retired mailman Russ Finch grows oranges in his backyard greenhouse without paying for heat. Instead, he draws on the earth's stable temperature (around 52 degrees in his region) to grow warm weather and produce citrus, figs, and pomegranates - in the snow.
Finch first discovered geothermal heating in 1979 when he and his wife built it into their 4400-square-foot dream home to cut energy costs. Eighteen years later, they decided to add a 16'x80' greenhouse in the backyard. The greenhouse resembles a pit greenhouse (walipini) in that the floor is dug down 4 feet below the surface, and the roof is slanted to catch the southern sun.
Finch relies on the warm underground air fed into the greenhouse via plastic tubing under the yard and one fan to avoid using heaters for the cold Nebraska winter nights.
Finch sells a "Citrus in the Snow" report detailing his work with his "geo-air" greenhouses and says anyone can build a market-producing greenhouse for about $25,000 or "less than the cost of a heating system on a traditional greenhouse."
The Lost Medicinal Berry
Rowan Berry is an all-to-forgotten SuperFood that grows in the wild. It is said that Rowan Berry has the ability to reduce or resolve some types of Type-2 diabetes; with more antioxidants than blueberry; with more beta-C than a carrot, and with more Vitamin-C than an orange - packed into one tiny berry that ancient Greek scholars documented would add 30 years to life when added in 1/2 berry quantities twice daily. If you dig around a little online, you’ll see glimpses of its history, especially in the old Celtic and Anglo Saxon traditions of Europe.
Gabe Brown on Regenerative Solutions to Modern Problems
Gabe Brown of Browns Ranch — a pioneer of the soil-health movement and regenerative practices — discusses regenerative practices and soil health as the bottom line solutions to the myriad problems we face as part of our podcast. We discuss the Covid19 pandemic and what we can learn from it, how healthy living soil helped Brown’s Ranch weather the difficult, cold and wet 2019 season in North Dakota.
Food producers from homesteaders/gardeners to larger farmer ranchers can start improving their operations immediately without huge capital investment. Gabe also describes how they have actually been getting a boost in sales due to their direct-to-market approach. And we describe the 6 rules for building amazing soil and growing lots of food!

The USDA arrested this Amish farmer for selling raw milk and natural meat without required antibiotics.
BUT HE JUST WON IN US APPEALS COURT!!!
“USDA processing plants require all meat to be treated with a chemical cocktail of citric acid, lactic acid and peracetic acid.
It’s not citric acid from oranges or lactic acid from sauerkraut. It’s all created in a lab. It’s a synthetic sterilizer that causes many health problems.”

Why We NEED Our Earthworms!
The earthworm is a major tool (if properly fed) for restoring and rebuilding soils. — Dr. Thomas J. Barrett’s 1947 book Harnessing the Earthworm
“In the chemical and mechanical laboratory of the earthworm’s intestines are combined all the processes of topsoil-building. The earthworm swallows great quantities of mineral earth with all that it contains of vegetable and animal remains, bacteria and the microscopic life of soil. Finally, it is ejected in and on the surface of the earth as castings – earthworm manure – humus, a crumbly, finely-conditioned topsoil, richly endowed with all the elements of plant nutrition in water-soluble form.”
Thus, castings are said to contain 5 times the nitrogen, 7 times the phosphorus, 11 times the potassium [and 1.5 (?) times the calcium, and 3 times the magnesium] as ordinary topsoil.
