Those are just great. Makes me want to start my own outdoor patch. Kudos to you and GSAFarmer!

Joshua or GSAfarmer, could you elaborate on the patch with all the moss? Is the moss part of the method you're employing, or did it just grow there naturally? Looks excellent! Great pics, as usual Joshua. Peace.

I have a theory, that the moss helps to moderate the humidity under the trees. My friend GSAfarmer has developed a nice outdoor cultivation technique using our native moss. After an outdoor bed is spawned it is covered with water soaked moss. Every 2-3 days the moss is gathered, soaked and replaced.
The moss seems to work very well. It provides moisture,shade and air exchange all at once.

Is The moss your using a single peice? Where can you get fairly large peices of moss, and what kind of moss is best. I have 2-3 foot tufts of gren moss growing on the ground in a nearby forrest.

I believe it is a sphagnum moss.
I suggest cleaning the moss by soaking in a bucket and washing with water. The peices we use are chunks. We just make a nice bed from all of the chunks we gather. We have used moss from the ground and from trees.

what regions in the US can such a venture succeed in? I suppose it depends on the time of year. If the natural conditions in an area are too dry, can the moss technique bring the RH to a suitable level? I'd like to try this.

I bet you could grow in every state with the right modifications at sometime in the year.
I have family from Pheonix, their low the other night was 92 F. I don't think Pheonix would work right now, but perhaps during Winter.

Thanks for logging in!!!
The battle isn't quite over yet. I spread some fresh diatomaceous earth (DE) yesterday. I saw slug damage today. The reason being, the neighbor has been keeping his sprinkler on too long. He is putting down some new turf. The soil in my yard is so wet that it saturates the DE a few hours after I put it down.
On a better note, I went out and scoped out a location for a new bed. It is on a river bank right next to the river. GSAfarmer and I went there last night and prepared three outdoor beds. 1x 10 gallon bed, 2x 5 galllon beds. Any progress will be updated in this thread.
Thank you all for your appreciation!!

Im going to try the moss with a new bed im making. I had been soaking straw and spreading it like you do the peatmoss. It was very time consuming and messy. Thanks alot for the idea josh/gsa. I was thinking of making a 2-3 inch trench around my patch that would be lined with plastic so the DE would not absorb moisture from the ground.

Hey there, My outside stuff did great last year but this year has been kinda funky. Seemlingly unaware of my intent, the earth seems to eat everything I put outside. Your friends items look mightly tasty.....maybe I will have a little better luck in September. The slugs seem to have strong radar for cubes...they can spot them from 50 feet it seems. Best regards, King Bolete

Here are some more FG outdoor pics. I ate a couple specimens the other day. I tried a new method of ingestion...salsa! It would have been better if I had had some decent salsa.

I don't think I could eat that with the salsa you have. When I look at that picture it just makes me think of strawberry preserves and shrooms. UUUUGGGHH!!!!!
