Pura Vida - Costa Rica

Todays topic will be how I planted sugarcane . Another really easy-to-cultivate plant with a great variety of usages. A few weeks ago, we tried growing fodder beet but we did not have any success with those. They did not even germinate. I figuered the best way the reuse it was by planting sugarcane. It truly is an amazing plant ! The most common use probably is making sugar , which we definitly look forward to doing. But it also has other uses. We will use it secondary for feeding animals . They will absolutely love it. Also it is a nice snack in between while working. You can just jew on a bit of a stalk and it will taste sweet.

Sugarcane likes loads and loads of water , but also a good drainage for best yields. But my neighbor, who has some experience in growing sugarcane, told me, that it is really easy...

My flight to Costa Rica in June of 2021 was the first long-haul flight I have ever made. All the more important to make a good plan.

 Welcome back, visitor :) This will be the first real post on this blog in the form of a series I really creativly called "THE TRAVEL" I want to detail step by step how the heck we ended up in the jungle on the other side of the world, starting in Germany. A big step down, right? At least that is, what most people we talk to about our plans thought.              "What if you get sick?"          or             "How do we even stay in touch, when you don`t have internet?"          or             "Don`t go out at night!"
