Yacón-saison

“Peruvian Earth Pear”

Yacón (Smallanthus sonchifolius, Syn.: Polymnia edulis)

cultivating yakon makes your life better: you learn about an(other) amazing plant, you get the better body by working the earth and eating better food.

all you need is free time, free earth, and some yacón seeds or rhizome shoots:

rhizome

you can also replant last year’s stem with some rhizome left.

unlike potatoes or topinambur, you can’t just leave bits in the ground and expect them to grow by themselves the next season. instead, it’s essential to find them a good place over winter: either in the cellar, or as a houseplant.

 

really really free market graz

graz has tons of free food.

i never stand in line at supermarkets. instead, i harvest 0km – negative waste food – multiple times a week, if i want to. me and my friends can’t possibly eat it all.

also, i’m finding free, wild, healthier plants all year round.

tired of slaving your life away for shitty food?

Join me – the free and better life is full of surprises and marvels.

where tropical meets rural

Here is some newer stuff:

no oil crisis

Olive season – so they throw out olive oil…

extended chestnut season

Posted before this i have not:

can you find the missing egg?

some more Best-of-s:

highly haram

t’was me humble share of an evening worth mentioning. the odd things (center) on top of the eggs are Maracuya, the seeds even sprouted. the cookie were shid, i fed them to birds. the Plum Schnaps/Slivovica in the back actually were expired! i spiked some of it with hot chili fingers i got from a friend. washing machine for size comparison.

 

… wo jeder Tag Ostern ist…

i followed a rabbit down a tunnel, and found the places, where every day is Easter day! One man’s trash, another one’s treasure – one supermarket bin, one week of food.

 

the rest of the west

 

Altmetall

All this toxic metal i gave to people who appreciated it.

bag of bread

The eternal cycle of white bread…

some more bread rain

… turning into new white bread. (more bread shots at the bottom)

But don’t panic – it’s all organic (matter):

Tomatensaison

I love how the colors change over the course of the year. I actually matter the plastic it’s wrapped in. But helps to keep the waste fresh.

Bananensaison

Must be a banana-country i’m in…

… but not always vegan…

bin of milk&honey

If it’s on the shelves, it’s just a matter of time before it’s in the bins – I consider it ethically vegan (“freegan”) then.

The following section documents crimes against humanity:

bin of bread

Not good enough for human consumption – because some rule-abiding bread-winner lost all sense of deceny.

role model

The deed of another capitalist role model… your family must be very proud of what became of you…

same bin, same scene.

Another day, same result.

bread bin at low tide

Must be low tide in the bakery… still, more bread than a person should eat in a week.

 

supermarket’s logo

I wouldn’t recommend eating bread out of the bins.

 

pigeons like it anyway

I use it to feed animals.

 

crisps, anyone?
