Over here it's just coqina for rock but mostly pure white sugar sand for a long way down. Trick to growing things in it is compost and pH. So much edible stuff grows native in the wild here too. Fellow by the name of Green Dean turned me on to Smylax. He holds foraging classes every weekend all over the state. Your area too I'm sure.

I think I'm out of horseradish and compfrey range, I'm jealous.<br /><br />The Moringa tree (also called Horseradish tree) grows well here. Leaves have a hint of horseradish taste, and supposedly the peeled root can be used as a horseradish substitute. Haven't tried it yet.<br />I always heard compfrey make a good fertilizer tea.

You ever try sharpening that stuff?;;) It's worth that gold nugget or a whole deer!<br /><br />I love me some permaculture 'mi! Plant it once and your good - if it lives. And that's the chore. Picking stuff that will survive your area. It took me years to get dandelions to grow! (Clay "soil")<br /><br />I have jerusalem artichokes (sunchokes) and walking onions and elephant garlic, chocolate mint, oregano, horseradish, and comphrey... Mostly "invasive stuff! I figure it's got to be tough to fight it out and survive. Just got some gingko trees! My plan is to fermint the artichokes with salt. <br /><br />I mostly use buckets for growing stuff! They use the humidity drip from my roof to survive. I also have some dwarf orange trees & a lemon tree. To store that stuff I'll dry it and/or fermint it in qt jars with salt! Just like limey sailors did when they invented marmalade! Oui oui! Plus I figure since citrus requires extra care - inside in winter, special fert, etc.. And since people are stupid, and oranges are very rare here, they won't kill me as fast because, ORANGE MAN GOOD! LOL!<br /><br />The hardest part is choosing plants that will survive your area WITH NO ADDED work or WATER! Which is why I try to concentrate on "edible wild plants" instead of domestic ones. It's just easier.<br /><br />So find out what already grows there then add it to your yard! Most of the wild stuff is weird tasting but if it's what you got...<br /><br />One thing I have in my yard is "invasive" Japanese honeysuckle. A valuable antivirus herb! (Make tea from the twigs lol!) Requires solid identification!!!!<br /><br />For example. Mr. Dakin can grow Mormon Tea in his yard! It looks like twigs! Makes a great tea for folks that need to stay up late (for many days;;( and defend against them horrible -ists!<br /><br />Permaculture is like food forests and wild plants but you choose them instead of them choosing you!
