Hey, Runa. . . . I am in alignment.
Spent five decades being corporate, husbandly, father to two, avoiding law entanglement, pretending to be part of the establishment. Paid off the last of my dues when my wife passed away last Feb. Now I'm picking up right where I left off in 1972, growing my own. The new tech and flood of information is great, ain't it?
Insert digit into soil two inches and note the sensation of, or lack of, moisture in my three gallon bags. I find I'm on a 2-2-1-1-1 watering protocol (the numbers are pints in a day looking at a week's effort.) Always with 1/4 of the recommended dilution of fish emulsion. My girls are very, very happy. Oh, yeah . . . . I also stream classical music in the grow room. No complaints from the ladies yet.
