I crushed 10kg of fresh comfrey herb (Symphytum) and a few banana peels in a blender, added enough water to make the mass smooth; I spread the mass with a few new earthworms directly at the base of the plants.

Light depro!Jack hasn’t stopped flowering but I think the candy hash has stopped growing
every morning and night though! pain in the A!
One of my “hacks” is to slice up a bunch of bananas (4 in this case), and let it steep for a couple of days in a five gallon bucket of water. Then use it for watering. I didn’t invent this, but this is how I incorporate bananas into my grow. In the off season, any old bananas and all peels go into the garden until they get tilled in.
A good percentage of my soil contains wood chips of some kind. Not a travesty in my mind!
I would be a little leery about using pine! Don’t know how those resins would affect the grow!
I would worry more if the pine was fresh, but it is kiln dried, and well composted before plants ever see it.I’m pretty sure his are Oak! And they have to sit for a year before he will use them! But when he digs into the pile, he gets some steam! That’s always a good sign!
There were 5 grape vines planted on the back fence when I moved into the house. Only 1 of the vines produce grapes I that are good to eat. The rest are very seedy and don't fully mature. I suppose I could remove some of the clusters, like they do in wine country to make the remaining ones more concentrated. I just never bothered. I get enough from the one vine that its more than my family can eat. They all sort of ripen at once. I like the way they look though.Do you ever get to eat your grapes Pete? I’ve got a large vine (I use for privacy) and although I can get fruit set, never can pull them over the line. Not sure if it’s just the critters chowing down or something on my end.
Nice plants BTW

man if I didn’t work this weird rotating graveyard schedule I would do that all year! I want a light dep greenhouse one dayLight depro!
Damn!!! This type of space and setup is my retirement goal. Bravo!!!!
Not much of a choice! Let her ride! There’s a fair chance she will regain her bearings and finish off nicely! It’s still pretty early! As with all reveg’s outdoors, it is wait and watch! Nothing is guaranteed! Keep us updated if you can!UPDATE TO MYSTERY PLANT….ReVeg!!
So I was away for a few days and came back to find that my Mystery plant (seedsman freebie) started to reveg! Not surprised as I had to, for various reasons, put her in the ground in mid-May (zone 6 NE) when I usually plant young plants early June. She started to flower by mid June and originally thought she could be an auto. But I could tell it was acting funny because the flowers sort of stayed pre-flower and now I am seeing single point leaves and other craziness. Would love to save her though because the aroma is a lovely, pure tropical fruitiness…
Question is: what to do?!? I’m leaning to letting her ride as an experiment, letting her veg again and then perhaps pruning out the initial flowers in a couple of weeks (golden tigers, pre98 bubba and purple panty dropper all still solidly in veg, so not worried about bulk of the crop or yields). Any suggestions??
