So this is for everyone who wants to grow all their own food. I found a website www.eriksjodin.net that has some fun information on the water fern azolla. Anyone who has seen my constructed wetland will know that I have a fair amount of azolla water fern and have been giving it to my earthworms.
Because of the nitrogen fixing properties of it and its high nitrogen content it is almost equivalent to a “brown” for composting purposes.
I am now particularly interested about the links in the website above to Japanese work on the co-culture of rice and azolla. I tried growing rice in the constructed wetland before and could not get it to reseed. But now with the large quantities of azolla I have it may be fun to try it again. Anyone know of a good place to get wild rice seed? Any type of food store rice won’t grow because of the dehusking process.
