Hecno's on going organics

[hecno]

Well what a bunch of old farts we are I hear you about the acks and pains @trailanimal I am still lugging around rocks and heavy ironwood tree trunks ect , do I have to do it - no - do I want to do it - yes - It is part of our make up , --- Get the job done --- I have learnt to go a bit slower at it , but I get there in the end . I see a lot of blokes my age a round here that would be flat out digging a hole , they don't seem to live to long ,
@Mossy this is what was in the slow cooker , My take on pork brawn , I spent the weekend making Ham , smoked lamb leg , bacon steaks , smoked cheese , need to restock

I post some photos of the other stuff later .

, Thank you and give every one close to you a big bloody hug -- The light at the end of the Tunnel is a lot bigger now ,Mossy - Waira - Garden time ,

I'd say you've cleared the tunnel old mate, and well deserved too! ...sorry for the lag time in response, been spread rolling paper thin lately...
I can hardly believe that after all the scrambling around with housing, you're only 5 min. away from the old place-
Clearly you've been a busy numbat to get that spectacular garden looking like it is already, like you've been there for a year! And with the usual magic aplomb =
...looking.... bugger me, is that the same Strangler?! What a beast-- it's ready to eat another tree now mate!
I see that awesome tripod Fig, and the giant clam shells ... several new (?) beefy ponytail palms about the place,...
Nice assortment of Alocasia/Colocasias! I love that dark velvety one,....calanthes...earth star... of course, lovely brom's and tillandsies! So many others too, bloody fantastic mate

Waira , Real good place , I did have to change my style of growing , as in a lot more shade to deal with , but it was not hard . Soil and Microbes
With Microbes you can see by the photos , no problem there , Soil is not real good , lucky I make my own . The soil is a ripper , works very well most of it has been moved 4 times , I just added as we went along , In the back ground the photo above is my fish pond . I would not be without one , I have 2 , ODxZ99 . First up I have not grown a Diesel before , The plant was the only different one so I said to myself grow that one as I thought it had more SD in it . Glad did I was right The sour Diesel was the predominant flavour , but z99 was in the background .
Vey good . I have more photos to post , but that is it for now

I guess the shade has it's up sides,... downside is any OD growing may not be feasible anymore? Not that it was a huge thing at the old place regardless, but options are always nice...
Damn skippy that uber-soil came along for the ride every time! Pretty much priceless, it's been so well tuned the micro-herd must be like a prime yeast starter, only for more new soil... Fish Poo for the win! Dude, there's a company out there called FOOP that's just what it sounds like- ...I think Hobbes is in touch with them?

SD is a lost classic IMO, but still fab' bud! I've not grown it myself yet, heard it's iffy outside- ... that Z99 must be adding in some nicely exotic twists to the SD's nose burning stank!
Speaking of fuelly stuff, this NevLime is starting to make very enticing aromas: lime and fuel right now, and LOUD!
You should get with Twenty20Mendo Adam about some Trainwreck auto, which has shown super well in grows here... And you saw my photo version, she's a beauty! I can't wait to have at her -
The cat pee pheno' will marvel your mates for sure -

Ah, thanks for the invite. but this is where I'll auger in. I'll be struggling less with new ideas. We'll see how it works out. Already enlisting more help from the village, which I've rarely done in the past.
And thanks for the Reps. Reps for being old and beat-up, pretty good

tough and grizzled as you are, one week in that Spanish oven and you'd swim back to the North Pole!

Well what a bunch of old farts we are I hear you about the acks and pains @trailanimal I am still lugging around rocks and heavy ironwood tree trunks ect , do I have to do it - no - do I want to do it - yes - It is part of our make up , --- Get the job done --- I have learnt to go a bit slower at it , but I get there in the end . I see a lot of blokes my age a round here that would be flat out digging a hole , they don't seem to live to long ,
@Mossy this is what was in the slow cooker , My take on pork brawn , I spent the weekend making Ham , smoked lamb leg , bacon steaks , smoked cheese , need to restock

Right! The OD kitchen, meant to ask about that - I gather you're well sorted on that too?

I can hardly believe that after all the scrambling around with housing, you're only 5 min. away from the old place-

So he can sneak back and steal that soil he worked on....1 wheelbarrow at a time.....

I'm flipping Starving now.........it Looks Amazing............

 

[WildBill]

Really? 5 min away from the old place? At least ya know the weather and local amendments.

 

[hecno]

@WildBill as you know , that is what growing is all about ,

 

[hecno]

Ok guys here is my one and only dear plant , [ Auto ] at the moment I am sort of sure it is one of Tobes BBG crosses . it is 4 weeks old today and has had Humic acid , Molasses , and that is it , I also topped up the soil . After these photos where taken I did some training

It is cruise mode at the moment , soil is working well , some of you will remember the curly grub poo I found , well this time I mixed some in the soil just before potting up , is it helping , I am pretty sure it is .

 

[trailanimal]

Could this gal be any healthier? I doubt it! Don't remember the grub poo, but I do remember the turkey dirt
