yes it reeks mate big time. It is awesome, you can ferment it and use it up to about week 3 bloom at a rate of 1ml per litre or 1 tsp per 1.5 gallons US.i got a 5 gal bucket full comfrey,,been sitting in the sun about a month now,,dont no how use the shit,,hadnt had time to investgate it,lmao,,but think its broke down to about 3/4 bucket now with the stinkest shit you could imagine ,lmao had on back porch for couple weeks and had to move that shit,lol
true story mate. I ache like I been hit by a truck some days. I just drink more chaga juice and olive oil and get on with it. Trees dont prune themselves anyways LOL. I have cuts which are on cuts. Everything here is either spiking you, scratching you, or plain stabbing you. I have hands that look like I ran them over a shredder, insect bites and now its raining which will bing out the mosquitoes.didnt happen,got to house and truckm broke down,,so bettween that and the house ,got a full 10 hrs misery in,,lol but pain be telling me ,IT'S ALIVE,lol
navelinas are big fat segmented eating oranges. they are super mate. The quality of the citrus fruit here is really awesome.really,,interesting,,you go to border here get 10lb bag for 5 bucks,,cabbage 3 for dollor,onions 10lb sack 5 bucks,,that is one never heard of ,,would like to see fruit,,these are small bastards here,,you get hungry just trying to get peel off,lmao
Beautiful place! It sounds like a labor of love!actually you can see a small lemonade tree also and over the fence are some of my juice oranges, beyond that a few more almonds, the road and then a bank of olives
yes it is. The land has been widely abused. The pic wih the palm is a fine example of what i am left with after years of herbicide, pesticide and fungicide use. The land is totaled this side brother, it will take a few months just to get the remediation work completed phase 1. its a sorry state, but how and why someone didnt see the system collapse which is fairly obvious and begin to question the practices before i got here I will never know.Beautiful place! It sounds like a labor of love!
Agreed :)tunes are good for the soul.... rock on bro
it does thanks,,was gonna use in the outdoor veggie,,so you mulch it up ,,do the worms enjoy it also,,when mulching do you mix in the soil or just the top,,this place im at now is covered wit it,,tried pulling some by roots,,damn need a wench to get it out,,the root system it has identified it to be comfrey ,,light bulb went off,,drugs uhhhmmm this is drug food,lmaoyes it reeks mate big time. It is awesome, you can ferment it and use it up to about week 3 bloom at a rate of 1ml per litre or 1 tsp per 1.5 gallons US.
It is great for delivering amino N and Organic K, but it does pre ripen pistols if used in correctly reference timings, a bit like Kelp if you get me?.
I use it from day 7 to day 21 bloom only as a liquid feed, but I use it as a mulch across the grow, this works really well imo and saves you have to bottle it and get that smell bro.
You will find many elements fit in to this time line anyway bro, post day 21 flush you will need more N than Comfrey can deliver alone, but you can use it to tweak branching both above and below, and for increasing flower bud sites. Once you have flower set stop using it. It can delay harvest if used on formed fruit, great if you want to prolong your picking period, bad if you have a time line or want a plant finished, this only applies to the liquid applications mate, a mulch wont give you this headaches as access to the related compounds which cause this are slowed or non existent. Fermenting it changes a few proteins in the material as a consequence of secondary metabolites secreted by the microbes in anaerobic states, these remain viable for up to 12 months in the liquid.
Hope that helps
Pretty sure you've found heaven there.... :)here are some of the Almonds and a bit of one my date palm trees
feel ya there,,daughter in law just went 2 weeks ago and got several lemon grass,,and several mosquito plant,,hell i transplanted them to 5 gal buckets,and put around door openings,,shit you not ,they were in such bad need of transplanting,,after i did ,next day were twice the size,,she bought a ton of deer resistant plants for the garden area,,had on porch for a week,,i just knew deer were gonna have feild day,,they came all up on the porch ,nosed around a bit couldnt find nothing they liked,,lmaotrue story mate.
