    KNF and IMO "Indigenous Microorganisms"

    Sure thing. I took a foraging class w/ famous forager and that was one of the plants we covered. Hemlock is way different and you just look for the major stuff, hairy stem/smooth stem, colors, ect. It really grows everywhere in this area of my state. I also run a market garden so I have the...

    oversaturated soil loses nitrogen

    lol How about if your soil is oversaturated it would be anaerobic. That means no O2 to the roots. No plant I'm trying to grow, grows in those conditions. Any soil that has anaerobic conditions will lose N to the atmosphere through digestion of OM with those anaerobic organisms you would be...

    KNF and IMO "Indigenous Microorganisms"

    Would that be the same Angelica that is considered weed here in my area? You can candy it and it's highly medicinal. It grows in wet ditches and it's a noxious weed here. If it is one and the same . . . I know where to forage it. . .

    Worm Castings Smell?? Should there be??

    My lawn is an acidic sandscape. I am working to change that. I don't give a rip about my lawn (lawns are a waste of space, effort, recources, . . .ect). My wife says no beds in the front :( (That's the best sun!!). I only help it along when it suits me. I got a 55 gal drum of clean hardwood...

    Worm Castings Smell?? Should there be??

    I have two different containers of worm castings. One from a local maker bought from my grow store. They are six months since purchase and still hold moisture but have No smell. My friends who have a worm castings manufacture outfit sold me 50# of their product and it look much more granular...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    I agree. I straight broke some limbs. If you brace it and keep the area together it can be pretty amazing what can heal.

    Wedding Cake VS "Wedding Cake"

    I'm firing a free gift from a UK vender. It seems to be coming along nicely. Would this be the same house brand that you fired? If so what did it taste like?? I'm also running this same house vender's Amnesia Auto. It's further along and I'm hoping to see some lateral growth soon. The little...

    What kind of mites are common in EWC???

    I was wondering if EWC is usually thought of as a vector? I know I have some mites walking around in them and I was wondering what are the common types found in worm castings? My friends run a castings manufacture co. and I'm trying their product. From the little I've heard, most are...

    Soil Softening . .It worked!

    So this year I dove into the deep end of the soil food web and living soils. I've been gardening for ten yrs and indoor for seven. I recently got offered free land to grow on and so we are having a market garden. I was worried when I couldn't easily broadfork the beds. I did follow the normal...

    Best organic medium for autos

    I bit the bullet and bought a Panthr X 2. What a light. I learned with guns, "buy once, cry once". Spend your money on something of quality and it will pay for itself. I'd love to run HPS but they would cost me too much. I had an old switchable ballast LED 250w (sungrow) and it cost 30 bones a...

    Boveda or Old S'Chool??

    I have really come to like the hang dry and then into paper bags in a nice thick black trash bag. If I can have this good of flower on my first go round with virgin living soil and my first full term grow ever. I had no one to help me with the cure. So since I hated buying shit weed I started...

    Fish shit diy??

    It's not the calcium, with water soluble forms available it just a bonus. You find in nature that different areas amass different nutrients. This is why kelp is so popular. If I am land locked, wouldn't be smart to try to make up most of those TM's with locally available resources (some of...

    Fish shit diy??

    Has anyone tried to breed snails to harvest them to use as compost??? I gotta figure those shells are easily broke down and full of calcium? I know they multiply fast so it may be sustainable . . .

    Problems with first WW organic grow. NEED HELP!!!!

    Ash is a source of some nutrients. And if it's not all white ass it does contain some potash. Also the bio-char (if any left) would be a big plus. I agree on the watering though. Never on a 24/7 would you let them get that dry. If you want to water less, put in some cover crops. Also use...

    Best organic medium for autos

    So I just removed the 2fast4buds chem dawg auto. This is the third one that has died because it couldn't get rid of the shell. I tried helping two of them, to no avail. I'm not real impressed with this whole Auto craze. I prefer the higher yield of a photo anyways. And to all those that would...

    From the fields of Pripyat

    How many use/used coots mix from buildasoil?(Think my cat peed in my soil that’s “cooking.”)

    Any kind of waste is okay if the animal's diet is okay (generally not commercial pet foods, more along the lines of a raw diet/all natural). Urine is a good source of nitrogen. How do you think they "charge" bio-char . . . For properly composted Bio-waste, you need four months for it to be inert...
