Joint time

What did you roll in it? “Weed! hardy har har!”

 

[Mikedin]

Those roots on the clones are proper! and as usual the garden is looking great (even if its early yet) : )

thats a great sense of humor! she’s probably sassy huh? dude my little one already gets sarcasm! she’s four! keeps me on my toes for sure LOL!

Facts haha yeah she’s 11 but she’s super creative does all kinds of shit I did when I was younger, wife already sees her following in my footsteps, has my attitude, yeah… lol

 

[Mikedin]

I so need to get to work in my garden. I’m not going to do any outdoor this year just veggies.

Yeah I diddnt plan to, but I can’t rip a perfectly good suprise seedling out lol, especially since I built those to actually grow in, it’s a sign, I’ll probably grab a clone of her before flower, I plan to keep her faily small so I’ll let her veg, then cut her back before she starts flowering and let her re stretch, lookin to keep her around 3-4’ high

 

[Mikedin]

Thats nice! Veggie gardens (for me) are so much less stress! : ) and the kids can help with this gardening hahaha, they dont help in the other gardens ; ) ; ) hahahah!

Yep same haha I don’t let em touch my stuff, that’s usually why I keep it in the tents, kinda secluded at least till they get a bit older but they see them all the time so they don’t even pay attention to them anymore

There’s nothing sweeter than hearing that! I love having my little me’s!

Dude it’s a fight if they know im going out into the shed! They think they are my official nutrient stirrers! Hahaha! But yes they dont touch ganja just based off of “societal norms” but i could give a crap otherwise : ) when i know they aren’t going to turn a work session in the garden into a tag session and break a plant they’ll be able to hang out more!

I know! Thats why I buy great white premium, it has every single organism that can live in the rhizosphere. I also know there are changes of ph in the rhizosphere that help take nutrients even if the PH is 7, but the rhizosphere is only surrounding the roots, it has no effect in the rest of the roots.

No product has every single organisms that can live near the rhizosphere. There's more in your backyard times 1000.

Diversity:
Naturally occurring soil bacteria are more diverse and adaptable than bottled strains.
Long-term benefits:
Establishing a healthy soil microbiome through natural processes is more sustainable and beneficial for long-term soil health.
Cost and ease of use:
Bottled bacteria products can be more convenient and quicker to use, but may require more frequent applications.
Environmental factors:
The effectiveness of both bottled and natural bacteria can be influenced by environmental factors like temperature, moisture, and soil pH.

Wel here comes the rain! Glad I started at 7 this morning lol, got everything done and the wind gusts are just starting to jump in rot eh 40’s and 50’s and rain should arrive shortly, I can smell it

Grabbed a huge flank steak, stuffed it with rice and got it in the oven then cut up some taters to make some roasted herb potatoes on the side

One of the reasons I use various amendments that all contain different (and the same) species of organic when possible, but yeah, outdoor and nature will always win when it comes to a true living natural soil, we can do our best to imitate it, but we’ll never match it

That’s funny shit lol, I mean, I treat all my gardens the same indoors and outdoors so really they know everything lol, they just aren’t aware of it haha

I just have a more tuned feeding regemin in the tents than I do outdoors is all lol

Compost

 

[Mikedin]

Compost

Oh I use plenty, as well as cover crop, additional earthworm castings, my outdoor holes each get amended with 1/3 by volume composted leaves I save every fall for the spring garden

 

[Mikedin]

Compost

This cover crop was over 2’ tall 13 seed blend 50% mixed clover plus landrino white cliver

All dropped back into the box after being chopped up

Also my daughter went out 2 weeks ago and pulled every weed out of every planting hole in the whole garden without me even asking this year, she’s on it!

Didn't mean to answer with just that .. , but yeah compost and EWC, best we can do without doing the Korean Natural Farming stuff, that I know of. I see some folks on YouTube just using compost and that's it. Has more stuff in there than I can think of right now. I also use proprietary bottled stuff but probably don't really need too if I'm using compost. The last bag I had became a whore house for fungus gnats...so that went to the trash. Think I mentioned it couple months back (here on your thread) found a local shop here, been meaning to try some of their stuff. I just don't have the means or patience to make my own right now. I've done it, and it was a cool little project. Came out super rich, but if I can buy a bag for a lot less effort... making your own does has its rewards ..

Yeah that’s why I added the 50 worms per bag red wigglers and nightcrawlers, why make a worm bin, just let em live with em that way as I chop and drop they provide the plants with constant fresh earthworm castings

Went down and watered while food was cookin
