Folks have commented about educationpal value of this Thread so in response I wanted to share this story and article

Folks who might be considering LOS and think it is a lot of work or it’s difficult ....... it‘s actually the opposite .....

if you take a minute and read about this Gal - how gardened NAKED into her Old Age you’ll come to the realization of the fact “No Till Gardening” has been around for a long long time and is really simple AND less work involved than with bottled methods and how No Till applies to the plants we love to grow .....

This Gal introduced me to this way of gardening in 1978 - the next year I sold my Troy Built .... She changed the way I gardened and how,I looked at our Planet Earth ..... Here is a take form the article and while it is short there is a video or two worth a look .... Hope it helps.

Ruth’s Growing Methods

• mulch mulch mulch – to protect the soil and retain moisture
• no digging or tilling
• minimal effort (lasagna methods) and minimal weeding
• year-round food growing (protecting the crops with hay mulch

Best grow to you,

This was grown no till - outdoors, different plant but imagine what you could do - Early Girl Tomato with a weight of 8oz - this one is just a little bigger ..... I pull this type of food consistently outdoors - principles indoors are the same ..... hope you enjoy reading about Ruth, an amazing gal ..... Plenty of info on the web about her, check it out ....

Thanks everyone for your contributions which helps make us all “More Smarter”.

BTW - You can’t buy these in grocery stores!

8oz average - LOS Soil ROCKS - Guarantee you’ll eat this tomato over a “Hydro Model” - No offense Hydro Growers

Straw mulch - Top dressing of Alpha Meal Pellets and Kelp kelp PLUS crushed eggs shells when flowers start to form for Calcium

Left Early Girl and Rutgers Heirloom Right - Rutgers were available in stores until early 1900s before mechanical pickers took over .....

Did you know store tomatoes are picked green and stored in ripening rooms with Ethylene Gas when they turn red they go to store without any regard for taste whatsoever- just interested in color and firmness

Hey @MrOldBoy are u around? Need advice on best option for mulching straw or whatever!! What do u use?? I’m at tractor supply place but only have bales of generic straw! Should I go to the feed store up the road and check there? Plz let me know ASAP if on cuz at store now!

 

[Fermented_Fruitz]

Does type of straw stuff actually matter?? If so what kind should I get or if easier which should I avoid? Also from pet store what type should I look for cuz only have 4 (2/1gal&2/3gal) so don’t need tons to just lay around forever waiting to be used! Thanks

@TxRebel or Mark ..... I get my straw from feed store but it might contain unwanted pests but i let it age outside and then put inside a garbage bag and more aging in basement ..... I generally get 12 bails for the yard, twice yearly so I’ve got plenty of straw on hand ..... haven’t had issue yet .....

As for kind of straw, I just get normal straw, have no idea what type it is other than it isn’t alpha although I do get alpha and alpha pellets for the garden and might use some alpha mulch next spring when I get more ...

In your case i would get straw from pet store and use as is ..... unless you just wanna grab some for your yard as well - no need to age but be sure you have plastic cover over the container so bugs can’t travel from soil to plant and back again .... good luck.

Update on Sour Livers - She has been in box for little over a week - had a few training classes and is exhibiting tremendous growth - The earthbox and this gal seem to have hit it off

Training Session Typically Last 3-4 Hours - Here we have a candy cane gently pulling cola down so lower branches can develop- I like to get these first few bud sites up as they are closest to the root and food - so we will have numerous sessions with her - all mostly short except for leaf tucks, which she already has two leafs tucked down

U talking the straw at pet stores sold as cage liner stuff/ maybe even feed sometimes for like rabbits or since what I saw was lil expensive for size (esp compared to B.A.S.prices and they do free shipping on size if need) but if I grab from feed store should I have to worry about bugs if I get the staff that’s pressed and in plastic wrap? I don’t mind ordering from BAS and waiting couple days shipping if there’s is bug free compared to bales at feed store? Thanks amigoS:smoking:

We had to make new accommodations and you have to do what you have to do, right - we took our homemade seed start cubical and turned it into a flower area - nice thing is we are able to maintain 75 degree temp in an open area and raise the light - I’ve had light issues, too much light but won’t in this setup ..... To the left is my original tent - short thing ..... will probably turn small tent into a direct Earthbox seed start tent once I get enough stash together
