According to the various amusingly narrated youtube videos and the web in general, you can take the leafy top of a pineapple, prune it and get it to start rooting, then plant it. One year later you have a little pineapple plant which makes more pineapples. I think the pineapple I tried so far was too dead to begin with :(

Ha ha ha well I was planning on keeping it indoors, but the idea of growing pineapples outside is also intriguing! Steiner as in Rudolph Steiner, the 19C esoteric?

Look at Steiners methods. If he can do it in the Alps you can do it in the lowlands.

How does one attempt to grow a pineapple? (Pineapples are one of the plants that baffles me completely!)

Do you still need chien-building wood? I can bring some with me if you like

See you there! :)
