Whodat I've just spent the last couple of hours on conditioning clay soil. I found a couple articles from OSU and from UNC. Sand is a no no unless you use lots and make sure it's not fine sand our it will make it worse. So that's out of here. Real small gravel or crushed shell was 1 thing for drainage. And I also found out that peat moss is also a no due to it will compact even harder. What I did find was some amendment products specially for clay soil. Some is liquid that softens the soil and the other is a product for drainage and such nut isn't going to compact like sand. So from what I've researched, as long as I add the claybuster amendment with lots of compost depending on my soil test. While researching this I even found a product to spray on my gen. yard and eventually this is suppose to soften up my clay and even let my yard drain easier.

yer, I have a lot of sandy clay rock on my 1 acre here, you know I'm going to leave it that way because I HATE to mow the lawn.....we live on an ancient lahar, lava, mudflow from the volcano.

 

[james2500]

ironic now that I give that a little thought, I thought the lands at the base of Vesuvius were famous for being enriched by volcanic activity. Anybody wants some of this I'll ship you a box of it, maybe beardo can sell it on ebay for me.

Im good, I got some azomite.

Im good, I got some azomite.

The hydroshop down the road claims they can only get Azomite in 50-lb. bags and bigger.
?
So I bought some Aazommmiseteoswt:

"Almost A-to-Z Of Most Minerals Maybe, Including Some Essential Trace Elements Or So We're Told To Tell You".

TM-7
"soluable humic acid concentrate and 7 micro-elements.

I just recently ran out of that. I have a humic fulvic mix I use now. I highly suggest some azomite if you want to toss some coins into your soil... Its cheap.

 

[DoobieBrother]

I am temporarily crowned!

Hail to the king, baby.

Will defo stock up on a 50-lb bag of azomite when we've moved into a house.
Going to do raised beds, and thinking of letting the soil mixture cook through winter so it'll be ready next spring for the starters to get planted outdoors.

I looked the TM-7 up and it seems that around $45/Kg

Then again 1 g will do for most needs:
========================
Soil and Container plants: 0.75-1.25g/gal of irrigation solution.
========================

This is not too bad.

Thanks for the idea.

[Dr.D81]

what's up 6 hope everybody is doing well today. all this talk about Europe makes me wish my wife and I could take a trip this year. I have wanted to take my wife to Brussels as it is quite a beautiful city. also remember Holland has a lot of cities not just Amsterdam. Rotterdam and Maastricht were very cool as well and much smaller. Amsterdam is home to the Van Gogh museum as well as many others. you can drive in Europe on a us drivers license for 30 days. it been a 12 years since I have been there but for your music I like the U6311 in Frankfort Germany , the fuse in Belgium, and my favorite is palazzos in bingen Germany.(not sure on the spelling on the last one will pull some fliers and check) I will be getting some land and a house with my va loan this year so I have a down payment to make. jig I also flew over the alps in the winter on my way from Germany to Macedonia was very cool. I have some pics in a photo album. jimmer I glade you are getting a handle on your soil. I have used the clay buster and it works well made my suggestion because I am a poor boy with two kids and a wife in collage. it will have the same out come a lot cheaper. kind of off point but adobe is clay sand and straw, and I have used it as a forge turning 3000 f. look in to Ibiza some of the best clubbing in the world. well I am whooped today so have a good one yall.

 

[Dr.D81]

have some stuff kind of like this whodat

 

[whodatnation]

WHat are you doing sneaking into my grow!!! haha,,, I got some mad amendment pr0n! Btw on the fulvic humic blend, Iv just been adding a 1/4 tsp per gallon in teas, I did not make the suggested liquid concentrate~~~~~~ lazy stoner. BTW that stuff smell awesome hu?!?! I think so, like powdered super expresso or something.

When I made my first order I was just so amazed by selection and went crazy "add to cart, oooh that too, add to cart, gotta have that!, add to cart"~~~~~ checkout= $580 had to work it down to 250 hahaha.



Those are some cool pics btw, thanks for sharing! My grandfather helped organize this enviro friendly village type thing out in cali, all the buildings are adobe.
Ive looked into hay bail structures too, didnt know they were so cheap and effective some still perfect after 200 years. Super super doooooooooooper energy efficient. House = hay, bamboo, and mud. I'd love to live in one.... Wanna tear down this fukin place and build one haha.

 

[Dr.D81]

made the mix my self but added the si and some super thrive. use it every 3rd watering to night in fact. I didn't spend that much had already dropped over a grand on the grow. seedless Ithats cool I have been talking to dst about bb strains and had settled on the dog. I have three RP og (and many more) going under the six this weekend after a trip to holly beach.

In the mid 70's I lived for 2 years in Albuquerque and a small town south of there called Socorro. We spent a winter in a very old adobe house with wood stoves and outdoor toilet. The outhouse had no door on it and you had a view of the Rio Grande Valley a major flight path for migratory birds. We were broke. Worked side by side with indians and mexicans and the blend of the 2 cultures. No TV, just a radio and we used to listen to The Mystery Hour with EG Marshall. The nights were clear and dark and the air was filled with Pinon wood smoke and sage. If I ever leave the Pacific NW it will be there. Sorry I went on, you just triggered a very nice memory....
