Well, not real old yet but not exactly a young girl anymore hence the handle Canna Crone. Been growin many a year (since 70's) but still learning. I grow in and out. Make my own organic compost and ferts for outdoor grows. Grow in soilless media indoors so am still experimenting with organics with that but haven't found organic nutes I prefer yet. Using Fox Farm right now.
Lookin forward to reading more here. I know this is a male dominated industry but I can talk like a sailor with the best of ya. :tongue0011: Hope there's some other estrogen infused life forms here. Love you dudes but sometimes a little balance is nice, no?
I haven't seen familiar handles here yet but if you know me from other places, please say hello. I use the handle SillySister and CannaCrone elsewhere on the web.
No particular recipe. We collect all our livestock poop/bedding and that of another local livestock owner. We mix it all up in big piles and let it cook. We turn it regularly and when it's all done we spread it on the garden area. The organisms and worms in the soil do all the rest. The plants love it.
We also have composting red worms that get all the kitchen scraps. I use the castings in a burlap bag in a 5 gallon bucket of water with an airstone to make compost tea.
