pigs are going to be spending the days now in the greenhouse, getting the ground all chewed up for me, tilling the grass, and adding a nice layer of compost in to!
You're a genius.
Looking good. Wishing I could get a head start like you are. We got 40" of snow last week and my yard was already knee deep in snow. Things have warmed up significantly but I still won't see grass until April.
Thanks for detailing your efforts again this season.

Ty, but its nothing new really. growing cannabis is not that different from most farming practices. Pigs are just about the best rototillers money can buy, tried and true practice for ages. My general process will be: I let them tear it up for a month, (you will be amazed watching the pics at how quick they tear the shit up.) then I add 10-15 bales of straw, and let the pigs finish out a week or two with the straw. Then I will pull em out, and dump all last years soil from the smart pots - 8 100 gallons and 8 65 gallons. These were topdressed after the season with 4 inches of rabbit manure, and planted with crimson clover. I then will dump a years worth of rabbit manure from my little rabbity. I have 4 does, and 2 bucks, and cycle babies. I prob have 15 years of composted rabbit manure and bedding to dunp in, then I will rototill it in lightly. Cover crop with clover, fava beans, and asain marigolds. hopefully will have cover crops going by april, and then burying 10 gallon smart pots with 5'x5' plants directly into the ground by June 1st. I will be moving them indoors, and outdoors daily, to get them as much sunlight as possible. Then when undoors, they are under 1k metal halides. Hopefully I will end up using all 14' of headroom in the GH>
Oh, I understand how they are lol. Grew up on a dairy with around 150 head of cattle and a handful of other animals at any given time. Didn't grow anything though so we never used the animals for that purpose. Great concept though, probably could've grown crops using this system looking back now lol. I'm assuming their manure and urine has less ammonia and nitrogen content than cows and horses as well. Got some super soil right on the ground out there, and not in a bad amount of time either. You've really gone all out since you set up shop where you are now, bet you and your patients both are appreciating all this hard work.
