Serial killers don’t stop till they get caught!

This is great chucky!! HAHAHA!

Mixed some soil for next season. Hoping the 4-5 months of sitting is enough.

1 part is 1 wheelbarrow

2 parts manure
2 parts top soil
1 part perlite
1 part wood chips
1 part part compost

Also added about 2-3lb worm castings, about 10lb fish bone meal, and maybe 5lb combined of gaia power bloom and all purpose. Hosed it a bit with each layer and stirred.

Really gonna test rhis ‘you can’t overfeed with organic’ theory. Worst comes to worst I’ll mix in more top soil.

My wife ordered a bad ass hexagon green house on temu before the tariffs hit wanna do three garden beds in it with two plants each. Here’s to hoping.

Thats awesome! You’re going to have some rocking soil! You could throw some of that great white like stuff in it to help that part along maybe you dont need that as the compost should start all that naturally right? either way I like what you got going on!

I’ve been making a “hot compost” with my chicken shit and coop bedding! it should be ready by this next spring! (veggie garden only not ganja).

I hope it works out I think I’m gonna add a little more top soil and some carbon something I have laying in the yard

I’ve been working the manure in with veggies first ironically, I’m more okay killing them then the weed

Water day.

Frosted guava is definitely a photo. Also looks SO SAD. Maybe it got too close to the heater.

Was showing my wife how frost the cheese was getting when she asked why I hadn’t bent it over like the others. I was about to explain that I did and almost broke it when she pushed it and it SNAPPED. So hopefully it keeps together I don’t want it to die in flower.

Tell her that was going to be your “1 pound plant” and she owes you a pound from the store now!

I can totally see my wife doing this. lol. (she doesnt even know what im doing in the shed)

lmao right

I’m glad she even comes out in the greenhouse, she likes the end product but doesn’t care too much about the grow. besides whenever she goes in the green house she tells me it smells

 

[cbrians]

well fuck

totally disconnected. probably gonna die, but why just let it we scraped up the cut because there was a good amount of calloused material. Dabbed each end up with some great white water. Made a duct tape band aid with a cloth strip in the middle lined up with the break so it can sorta breathe.

Science! And a reason to guilt my wife every second

hell yeah!!! Love the commitment to spousal torture!

either way that can be her plant!! hahahahaha!!!!

 

[cbrians]

Almost poetic, one died and two broke ground.

Although from what I’ve read, if the plant is still green there is hope, but I’m not getting too hopeful lol

 

[cbrians]

forgot one

 

[cbrians]

Babies update!

I think I planted 11 of these? Ended up with 7. Which is like 64% success. Lines up with my school successes

Anyways, we have
3 black runtz (labeled domina)
2 grape ape f1
1 black orchid (only one of three sprouted but it’s the biggest of the babies )
1 northern lights

We’ll see how they do lol will post pics of the big sisters in a bit, they’re soaking up water now. Will say tho, blueberry big devil is getting far way faster than the others.

Mixed more soil for next year. Pulled the tarp off and it smelled like wet garbage. Probably a bad sign, hope it was just too wet. Layered and gave it a good stir. Will probably let it sit until february and marinate lol.

Total recipe
2 wheelbarrows manure
2 top soil from yard
1 perlite
1 wood chips
1 compost
1 dead grass/straw
1 oak leaves from my neighbors yard
1 garden bed soil (dirt manure compost and grass ripped from yard, dumped in my old weed soil as well)

dressed up with worm castings, gaia green power bloom and all purpose, fish meal, kelp meal, gypsum, and azomite. Got some seabird shit on the way. Don’t ask me what it does I’m following AI’s lead

Flowering update!

Lemon wonder is impressive. It sat in soil for a week before popping and is making up for it.

Blueberry big devil is probably stacking the most. And it REEKS.

Frosted guava is SUPPOSED TO BE AN AUTO. I turned off my supplemental lights a while ago. Thing needs to flower already.

Pineapple express is pretty bushy still, sure it will be okay.

Cheese is dead but wife wants to leave it and see, fuck it

All looks good, not sure about the wood chips. Usually you want wood chips completely composted before using. All the horse manure around here is full of wood chips for bedding, takes a few years for the wood chips to break down before using. I think it was that Viking cat that explained why it’s not a good practice. The rest of your stuff in there is good.

Yeah I had mixed in a wheelbarrow and read they use up a lot of nitrogen when breaking down too late to pull them out, hoping time helps.

Also feel I’m a little nitrogen heavy? I added manure straight. The compost I added was manure and leaves. and the fish meal? I think it will correct itself, I’ve got a bit of time.

I appreciate your advice your plants and garden are bad ass

You can screen out the wood chips before you use it. I wouldn’t have a tarp underneath the pile, not sure if it’s helping anything. I like mine to be on the dirt, turn it over weekly. It keeps everything moving. Your mix is good, definitely want it composted, meaning broken down by all the little shit that lives in there. Open to the ground lets worms and other stuff get in there and chow down. Bug shit and dead microorganisms is what you are looking for. For a guy who says he knows nothing , you got it going on. It takes time to figure it out, if I can do it, any dumbass can. Not implying anything about you with that statement!

I’ve been called worse things

I put it on a tarp, I was worried about all the good stuff leaching into the dirt. I’ll let it sit for a bit and when I mix it I’ll just pull it off the tarp.

I’ve picked up a good amount in the six months I’ve been on here, but I’m still learning. Open to being taught even

Thank your wife For me! That one still counts towards the, Eat, crow or not! You’re going to haul all that over to Modesto? I suppose you could just fill pots up and take them over! That should get your neighbors attention!

Hahahaha

yeah, to manteca, one truck load at a time.

One neighbor has a pretty big garden going. the other side has some weird shit. Like a big fancy gate, but behind it there’s a broken down box truck. Looks like they have a build on part of the house, inside of it there’s a security door. Inside.

I don’t think anyone’s gonna trip on my smells too much
