Loads of fun

more seeds planted. I've taken some seedlings to Tyler, Tx. and planted them there.

3 of them had been planted in pots with terra preta. after only 2 weeks, the lower half of the soil I used to plant the jatropha curcas in, was pure black as if the terra preta had converted the rest of the soil into terra preta.

I think the plants in Tyler are going to do extremely well for the summer and fall. I hope they survive the winter. I'll be planting a lot of other stuff there as well,

raspberries, bell peppers, miniature bell peppers, roses, blackberries (already planted), grapes, probably some corn, watermelons, jalapenos and even more types of fruits, veggies, berries and such.

in the meanwhile, I've a nice little handful of jatropha curcas still growing in corpus, and I'll plant some more as well.

most of the people I've spoken with in the past about biofuels have lost contact lately, so I guess Im just growing it for fun now, without a care towards becoming a business.

c 'est la vie!

Blogging my start into Biodiesel production. Using the plant Jatropha Curcas. Hopefully, documenting the start of some success at raising the plant, obtaining the seeds for press, and marketing the oil.
