I'm new to gardening in an extremely warm tropical area, where summers often soar above 110°F and winters barely bring any chill. I'm focusing on organic gardening using things like rotted compost, eggshell powder, and wood ash. I'd love to kickstart a discussion on how to manage plants in my climate! Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there! Are you looking to find out what crops can thrive in your climate? Check out gardenate.com. It has a seed sowing guide tailored to your zone—just input your climate zone, and it’ll show you what to plant month by month. Also, make sure your wood ash is from untreated sources. Creating big piles of hot compost can be tough, but it’s super effective for enriching your soil and helping beneficial microbes. Check out Kath Irvine’s resources at ediblebackyard.co.nz for great tips on organic gardening! Taking time to observe natural gardening methods can really boost your skills too.
Thanks for the helpful info! I've been trying to explore what to grow in my hot climate, but it’s tough to find solid resources for areas like mine. I just started composting in a big bucket since my space is limited, and I’m a bit worried about the wood ash I got, as it comes from a place that uses coal.
