Check out Lectric's e-bikes with our link: https://lectricebikes.com/?utm_source=influencer&utm_campaign=seasonalhomestead&utm_term Spring is officially here, and the to-do list is massive! This week, we’re building our first hot compost pile, starting Midnight Roma tomatoes in soil blocks, and planting a disease-resistant apple orchard on Geneva rootstock. I’m also sharing my new method for planting peas to fix common germination issues and explaining why we’re integrating fruit trees directly into our garden layout. Whether you’re into thermal composting or seed starting, I hope these homesteading tips help you kick off your growing season!
