Vegetive reproduction is what I learned how to garden with, but I’ve fallen down the seed rabbit hole. There’s so much variety that it’s honestly addictive

RSS is awesome. My favorite fun fact is that podcasts are RSS-based, which is why you can listen to any of them from any podcast app.

RSS is probably closest to what you're looking for. I just scroll through the phys.org feeds that I'm interested and pick stuff up from there. You probably could use regex to filter it down to specifically stuff like this using a list of keywords, though I'm not the person to ask how to do that.

Heck of a shot there. Thanks for sharing

Satsumas look really cool. I love mandarin oranges. Any specific suppliers you recommend?

Thank you for this awesome resource! Though I don’t live in that area, it certainly is useful. Oh, and I did add my hardiness zone. Don’t know how I missed that

Some very interesting picks! I actually have quite a bit of Chaya outside, but I haven’t sampled it yet. It was here long before I got here. There was also a sour orange tree, but it succumbed to a whole host of issues that I couldn’t even begin to identify. The flowers smell divine though. I notice that you have several plants from the ginger family on your list. Any tips for growing them? I’ve been failing rather hilariously with any attempts just working with the usual stuff from the grocery store.

I’ve been eying some figs for awhile. I have a very small citrus seedling. Don’t even remember what fruit it came from (probably a lemon), though it’s very fragrant

 

Potential sources for them would also be appreciated. The weirder and more niche, the better. Edit: I’m in hardiness zone 13b

Some stuff I already have: Basil Mint Tomatoes Sage Lemongrass Marjoram Coleus caninus Cuban Oregano Passion Fruit Pumpkin Honeydew Avocado Cashew Coconut

You could try using it as a PWA. Just add the website to your home screen via Safari. You could also try using Brave to access mbasic.facebook.com. All browsers on iOS are basically just Safari (unless you live in the EU), but at least it comes with a tracker blocker built in.

I am in the Caribbean with a pretty heavy clay soil. I mainly grow herbs like Cuban oregano, basil, sage, mint, lemongrass, etc. I also have some fruiting plants like tomatoes and some eggplants. I have some shady raised beds, and I also do a little growing in ground, but mainly I use pots. What I'm really trying to do is to build out some more raised beds and have enough soil for the sunnier pot-based growing space.

First thing first, just to be clear, it seems like you are looking for more of an editorial perspective?

I mean I'm not read at all on soil science literature, so while I'm not opposed to anything "scientific" you have to say, and in fact would be happy to learn, I would probably need to do some googling. Also sorry mate, but you are officially a soil scientist at this point.
