Incorrect , cannabis is not a weed by agriculture viewpoint , just govt viewpointIt's a weed . In pots I think nutrients would deplete unless recharged . In the ground I think of it as the roots die wich supply nutes plus most ppl fertilize anyways
I was listening to a Jeff Lowenfels interview on KIS' podcast and it got me thinking about the issue of crop rotation and reusing soil. Both Jeff (author of teaming with microbes) and tad seem to be strong proponents of reusing the soil without break. As an organic market farmer this seems contrary to the principles of succession planting and crop rotations. How do you successfully grow in the same soil without issue of disease, pest incidences, nutrient depletion, etc. It's so contrary to everything I know and have practiced for years.
Crop rotation is standard practice for organic farming which is why I don't understand how cannabis can continually be grown in the same spot without issue.
This seems so foreign. Is there something that makes cannabis different from other annual vegetable crops that allows this?
Now thats what I'm talking about, errr or what @Burned Haze was sayn. :DIncorrect , cannabis is not a weed by agriculture viewpoint , just govt viewpoint
Unless your a cop and you don’t want cannabis here or want to arrest people, cannabis by definition by 5-0 is a weed since they want to destroy it and it’s not allowed.
“
A weed may be defined as any plant or vegetation that interferes with the objectives of farming or forestry, such as growing crops, grazing animals or cultivating forest plantations. A weed may also be defined as any plant growing where it is not wanted.”
Cannabis is in same family as hops and intill this stupid drug war it was well respected world wide for 1000’s of years on record and in religions and holistic remoldies ( hemp fiber and cannabis for consumption)
jumpincactus thanks for the links I'll look them over later, I'm always open to learning something new... but as I said this concept is completely foreign to me. I am a market organic farmer and crop rotation, companion planting, and letting the soil go fallow for a time are all cornerstones of organic agriculture. I can't imagine someone growing tomatoes or zucchini reusing the same plot of land year after year (the thought makes me shudder).
