A Funny Thing About Walnut Hulls

#25943315 - 04/19/19 10:12 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

I collected @ 1,000 Black Walnuts and composted them between layers of soil in 5 gallon buckets. In about 2 months the hulls had softened to the point of easy removal and no longer proved to be so indelible on the hands. I liked the texture and flavor of the wet walnut kernels so I left them in their compost abode and retrieved a dozen every other day thruout the winter months.

As the weather warmed I began to suspect that the remaining walnuts would hatch so I rubbed off what hulls remained and set the nuts aside to dry.

The buckets I had them composted in were previously used as planters and had drainage holes, but the soil the walnuts were in was decidedly wet so I thought that would be a good addition to the soil of my early spring vegetable starts and this proved to be the case, the soil in the little pots remained moist and spongy and absorbed irrigation easily so I planted a few flats worth and set them out in the sun and wa'd'ya know? A squirrel excavated them looking for the nuts!
