easier than you think,,same as your compost pile patients bring great results,,earlier this summer i didnt have enough soil to finish some transplants i had for my garden,,went to another compost pile out there ,been there a while,,dug down to bottom of it and guess what ,new soil so i used it and those plants i transplanted yeild me a lot of veggies,and damn they got to work quick to,,i might have killed it for a minute distrubing it,putting in my containers,,but i tell ya it didnt take long to come back to life and finish out them plant,lol i als o use rosemary ,for pest,,peppermint oil ,rosemary,neem oil,,the smell will open your sinus for sure,,imagine what the bugs think,,and that pepermint oil alone,one squirt and you watch them spiders get some were,kinda funny really,,they move like a bird after there ass,lmao
i know it will,,let it come legal here,,i have this whole damn hillside planted with it,,i pretty much live on a rock,,33 deer visit the place,.but legalization,,i have that jack hammer out putting in post and fencing in a heart beat,lmao
You make it sound so simple :joyful: I have an outdoor girl for poop and giggles, all I've done to her is top dress with homemade compost and drench with a tea here and there, and shes been doing great. Slower than my indoor but looks nice. It's been raining so much I haven't had to water her much. I've collected enough rain water for my indoor garden too (mostly.. I fill up from a buddies well when I have to)
simplicity is the whole idea,,let mother nature do the work,and hope she is nice,lol
every time it rains it introduce more microbes,,and that a good thing,lol
Very true, didn't think of that! Microbes are our friends hehe
i got it 2 years ago,and your in for a great read,well worth the money,,if you got time watch living web farms on you tube,got a 6 series study of bio char and the making,,good stuff,then terra preta thats the real magic of great soil,there kinda long,but by end you will understand soil a lot more
Awesome thank You! I'm always looking for new (good) info. Lot's of misinformation out there lol. I do enjoy a good YouTube vid as well. Now there's an idea: thread dedicated to edicational growing videos (centered on organics of course :smug:) ...annndd GO!
the terra preta,was really informative,,since begging of time folk has used this method of char to build workable soil,and looks like bottom soil from way down south,,full of goodies that give life,,im so pissed i cant make any char right now because of water restrictions in my area,,i have a 500 ft well,water isnt the problem,but the burn ban is,,so in close future im going to build one them tin man that you will see on the living web vids,make my own shit in a control burn,,you will see ,i watched both there long ,about a hour each but you will be inspired after watching them,i was,,ive used ash for 30 yrs to the garden and really didnt know much about it overall,but knew it helped in y garden a lot,,soil base gardens most of my life,,but the char is another critter to admire,,it soaks nutrient from soil and holds on to it,when the plant is ready it takes it,,the char just keeps on going,,i recently told JIPP about this method so she gave a try and just the other day she was telling me the difrence is very recognisable,you will have to excuse my spelling ,i cant lmao
That's incredible! I'm not exactly sure what biochar is but it sounds like a very good thing! I take from what you've said that it's just as the name implies; biochar = some kind of wonderful burnt material? Ill research it a bit and check out those vids when I get outta work. :bookworm:
you will be amazed,i was
makes them trees n back ground look like shit,lol and thats the great thing,,just put another right back in same hole
