AVOCADO GARDEN SLIDE
Can Avocados be dehydrated?
Regarding your brown thumb - I used to be the same way-I think it was because I killed them with attention-too much water etc.
Anyway, my daughter gave me a book on sq. ft. gardening. So I tried it, and the first year I had more than I thought possible, in a 3x4 ft. area. I think the secret is in the “soiless” ie Mel’s mix. Equal parts peat moss, vermiculite, and compost. Almost impossible to over-water. Ha.
Check it out:

“The Square Foot Gardening method is estimated to cost 50% less, uses 20% less space, 10% of the water, and only 2% of the work compared to single row gardening. Additional benefits are: virtually no weeds, no digging or rototilling, and no heavy tools are necessary.”
That’s a cool dig. I think I will incorporate that next season. Have the perfect space

But this site

says:
“Listen, some foods can be dehydrated if you really want to go through the process… but they won’t taste the same at all. Sucking all of the fat from olives or avocados will turn them into a strange mush that no one wants to eat. It won’t kill you–but ick.”
So I’m not encouraged. LOL
Interesting. I’ve thought of that, but always wondered how I would keep the neighborhood visitors (squirrels, opossums, raccoons, community cats) away from such an attractive and inviting looking “box garden”. So I haven’t pursued it. But now I am thinking about it again. Ha...
I also have a book called _The Edible Landscape_, by Tom MacCubbin, a Florida expert, but it is too overwhelming for me. LOL
