Nope, still dont have any land, but i planted 14 more jatropha curcas (staying small) of the seeds I had such great sucess with last year. Planted in a mixture of topsoil/sand 50/50, and THIS time, I got to use TERRA PRETA in the soil. So we'll see how that goes.

I planted 13 in regular 1 gallon planters, and 1 in a very large planter. I guess it'd be a 30 gallon one. Maybe it will not sense the confinement and grow faster and bigger. Again, we'll see.

For those tracking this, I have 8 seedlings of the non-toxic variety growing out of 21 planted. After 2 weeks of daily watering, thats less than 50% germination, while last year I was enjoying 95% or better germination of the toxic variety.

It will be interesting to see how 1 year old seeds do. Im hoping still for at least 90% germination.

I've been invited to do a phone interview by Nate at Biodieselnow. Not sure when or how it will be published but I am sure you will be able to find it at www.biodieselnow.com

Feel free also to go there and check out the forums, there is a lot of talk about algae, solar, wind, geothermal and almost every other type of alternative energy out there.
