Alright, I went full hillbilly and made my own version of the PET method with palm tree scraps from a neighbour's garden. Turned out nicely, let's see how it goes!

Honey, that ain't full hillbilly. That's how we Catasetum newbie growers roll with class! That's why my one where I used manure is alpaca manure..... none of that common cow, horse, or chicken poop for this gal!

WaterWitchin isn't a presentation kind of gal. She just grows stuff. Also... ummmm..... probably better grow it successfully for a year prior to expounding. Meanwhile, maybe I ought to do some YouTube videos.

Only the finest, three to four year old composted. Probably mixed with dead mice I know nothing of...
