Thanks for the look, I'm not sure what you mean tho--- sorry. I think you just grow with no inputs but you do amend?

Yeah! Amend during the winter! Have to replace some of what they chow down on during the summer and fall! That is a tough place to grow! Googled closed Loop! That’s pretty ambitious! Good luck with it! I don’t have enough summers left to blow a few fine-tuning, something like that!

Ahhh yes winter! I will, again but with more of a plan, keep roots in my soil year round coupled with chop and drop :)


What do you do over winter exactly?? And what zone??

Also, I'm all in on being steward of soil thus it, for me, means cultivating soil over several years--- think plants before human interaction just with a lil training:)

Got it, look into companion plants that will likely keep most pests away, the few that remain can be stoped with a neem oil spray--- just use 100% neem and cold pressed

Your post was listed 5th on a Google search, so there's not a lot of information associated with the phrase "no inputs." There's more information about "low input" farming, which means optimizing use of internal production inputs. That's for a farm, however, and quite different from a guerilla grow (as I understand it).


What do you plan to use for nutrients for your plants?

.y own foraged compost and companion plants starting in April, in June/ July ill plant cover crops to keep the cycle going

I did inside last year and I can see myself doing it again but for now I want to do natural plants. This year will be my 1st 100% natural outdoor grow! Very excited! I have some hydro nutes if interested for shipping--- maybe a few other things for hydro grow

I read an article about the Chinese I think we're experimenting with things to do with used coffee grounds .like mixing it with cement .to see if they could build with it.and how long it would last.
That is what made me start using them.

Empty the pots out into a pile roots and all! They stay! Then add four or five bags of chicken, compost, some worm, castings, crushed oyster shell, bonemeal, dolomite, lime, kelp meal, Gypsum, Possibly blood meal! Add it all to 300 gallons of reused soil and stir it up and let it sit for three or four months! Oh, and I forgot the most important part! Make sure it has adequate perlite in it! Northern Sacramento Valley! Extremely hot and dry! Perfect! L O L

Sure, a small amount of grounds go into my compost. I'm a huge fan of worms and have several absolute studs in my 2 pots--- their 1st winter. I'm hoping they have survived--- and we are getting more snow tomorrow. I've insulated these pots with leaves and some straw. It's been above 40 for the most part but I'm looking at 19 tonight into tomorrow morning. Keep your fjnghies

Hmmm not sure how that would work with the grounds being organic material. They are deff. Beneficial tho. They are essentially biomass that compost/ decompos which feeds the bacteria in turn producing nutes for the goals:) also fyi, check out the fermentation used by some Korean farmers it's very interesting
