Outdoor Growtogrow.. Michigan Unlimited multi strain organic grow

[Stylez2]

I'm in PA, so we get the snow. I have 2 compost piles (in different stages of course), we have a 1000 square foot veggie garden I tend to. Once my kids leave the house I can get more into the teas, my kids are at the nosey stage, . I'm just growing them in pots right now. Promix soil and blue planet nutes. I posted some pics somewhere. Lol
I agree 100% teas and amended soils are the way to grow, very hard to switch from what you (6 years) know.

Ima keep up with this journal if you got room for some more eyes, and take in the knowledge.

Cheers

Thanks man for making the world a better n more beautiful place.

I guess you find those people who just dumped their stuff anywhere they want to.... ....everywhere in the world...
I was reading a storey the other day how this farmer over in England somewhere and that people keep dumping trash on his property all the time.. He cleans it up.. And another dumping happens.
The farmer says 2 or more times a week. He keeps taking the authorities to prosecute these people. (there's so many) and the authorities aren't... well they just aren't doing their job..The story was on Google just a few days ago.
So we have the same problem here and apparently it's everywhere with people that just don't care....and with..recycle and trash cans every where... I don't get it...in my area recycling commercials are on the TV every day. The majority of it is free.
I don't get it man.
I know if I had a spot where POS would keep dumping on my land.
I would put some nail strips down in the most common areas. Pop a few tires... You don't get nothing for free... That's how we cought the mail box maahers back in the day. Just down the road from my father's farm. I had a small farm in the 80s. We all kept getting our mailboxes smashed one summer.
So I told my mail carrier to put my mail in my father's box. And not to come by my box no more. And so she did...then I laid out nail strips in my mailbox carrier Wheel tracks where my mailbox was was a little bit off the road so you had to get off the road to get to it a little bit.

So They come through one night a few night's later and they smashed all the boxes on the road and they got mine too that night.
My neighbor l and my father they had seen them in the middle of the night and they took off in Chase in their pickup trucks after calling the cops. (Back then there wasn't cell phone so they had to call before they left LOL). But they caught up with them by the mile and a half away with two flat tires on the right hand side of their car.. A group of kids.. They ended up having to pay for 56 mailboxes that they smashed all together that night... Or will be prosecuted with federal crime and put in prison and pay for all them mailboxes... So they had a choice
We were all happy the prosecutor the cops the community.
Those kids learned a valuable lesson I'm sure.

But that's the hillbilly country way to handel them. Dumpers

GT , you are spot on with the soil . I use a lot of what is around me . I do a bit of a hybrid way of composting . As my soil has worms in it I will put stuff on top of the soil [ which are in big tubs ] things like horse - cow manure - leaf litter from the rain forest - chopped up banana stems , Time is the factor here and as you said , microbes do all the work . Climate is a big factor too . How I do it in the tropics may not suit a colder climate . But are the same principles .

It's real messed up that you got me itching

Can I say fucking? Fucking plants look great! I asked the wife if I could grow OD - told me some choice words she did. I know I can't do it OD where I'm at but I don't even want the bud I just want to grow stuff like you do lol

You're the second person I've seen mentioning that chemicals kill microbes - salts or more specifically like pesticides? In general or at high concentrations? I wanna start organic outdoors for food but I'd like to use my salt based stuff while I get my composting and stuff together.

hey GTG Thanks Bro, yes we only have one earth.
Exactly, in this case i know suspect it was builders as the homes on the hills back onto the forest, and i bet the builders wanted to save on dumping fees and used the bush as a tip.

I noticed that at national park carparks, they just dump their cans in the bush, even a baby diaper. The autorities cant be bothered which is bad, as it would not take long to chase them down or clean it up and put signs about dumping.

Its bad in your area also with cans, no idea why they cant take it and recyle it and not just throw it out the car window. Poor English farmer, no help from the law even. I am confused also whats going on in their heads

That is great the mail box vandals got caught, the parents would not have been happy with them also

They needed a good spanking, that is good the cops and authories did something about the kids.

That's great... I'm so glad your seeing the way of the earth..

You can buy compost most any where in the world... Someone's always making some.
And then there's the store bought. I use store bought all the time..... Hell I have 6 or 7 bags of commercial composted cow manure right now holding down the front of the tarp on the grow cage.
Last summer I found a farmer about 15 miles from me who had alpaca Lama horse goat sheep cow mule and one other animal I can't remember the name of. But she gave me bags of their manure I think they were 40 lb bags for $5 a piece. I found her on Craigslist. This spring on Craigslist there was all kinds of people on their advertising organic compost soils. All around me worm castings by the ton as well. So you can get the shit and start composting. Or use the compost right away... kind of like plug-in play gardening...so to speak

GT , you are spot on with the soil . I use a lot of what is around me . I do a bit of a hybrid way of composting . As my soil has worms in it I will put stuff on top of the soil [ which are in big tubs ] things like horse - cow manure - leaf litter from the rain forest - chopped up banana stems , Time is the factor here and as you said , microbes do all the work . Climate is a big factor too . How I do it in the tropics may not suit a colder climate . But are the same principles .

Yeah I think we are on the same page..
I compost the same way... put all my biodegradables on top and then every so often turn it inside just keep doing that over and over again. I don't even care about it being completely decomposed by the times I need to use it. I just throw it in the garden when I'm ready too. if I need it there....it'll break down eventually...right... something's going to eat it there's always something living in my soil worms and bugs... I fluence the birds to come to my compost pile by throwing Bread on top of the pile so they'll come and eat and poop and do their thing on my compost pile... Other animals too......
if they're all doing their business on my pile.. Then all that stuff that is usable in the microbe world..... Somehow or another it just keeps coming back around to the microbes don't it...... LoL...
It's all about the microbes...when your organic...

Could not agree more .

Well boys and girls we're getting down to the wire now...

We haven't got much further to go. It looks to me like the Blueberry cookies and Silver haze #2 are going to be ready to come out probably by this coming weekend

I expect on Sunday I'll be harvesting those 2 plants.

I sure hope so because the yard girls that are in the fiber pots are getting big very big the sage and sour 2 is almost 7 freaking feet tall and I really don't want to bust it or Super crop her yet until I move her .. but I may have too it is a monster... And I also noticed when I was out today doing work on a 2-yard girl's that are in the ground the OG fire HB3 and Chem berry D3..
I super crop them today and trim them back.... Because I noticed them stacking.... It is the 15th of July and it's time in my region for them to start thinking about getting ready for flowering naturally.....
It's pretty cool how these plants know when it's time. The daylight starting to change now the evenings are getting shorter an the mornings are also shorting so the daylight is shorter in a day and these plants are already knowing it....crazy huh... it's funny though how a little bit of light change can change the whole aspect of what a photosynthesis plant can do. When you pay attention to your plants you'll see subtle changes.
I noticed the changes immediately this morning when I came out to water the girls. The Day before yesterday they weren't looking like they look today. So I went to work on the girls in the ground trimming an super cropping...And hope by this weekend I can Harvest the 2 of those plants in the garden and get the OG fire HB2 and the sage and sour2 in the ground in the grow cage and start their flowering time now and super crop them that will push them for a early Harvest this fall.
