Well we burn all the stems and big fan leaves when we cook out. As far as the soil goes we save that and use it for our outdoor grows.

I just toss em into fire pit out back when we barbeque, they burn very fast to a clean white ash

I am a n00b for the most-part, when it comes to growing. I too asked a similar question on another forum.

I was told that you can compost the leaves, stems, and the main trunk (as well as the roots) of the plant. You'll just need to cut everything up fairly small (smaller plant matter = less decomposing time).....make sure you also have a good amout of air into the pile.....

and if you live near a bait shop, pick up some red wigglers.

Hopefully I was able to help out,

Any questions, ask away...I'll answer them to the best of my ability.

Great lookin' buds I must say

can you compost the waste from a grow that you don't use? possibly reuse your medium in another aspect of your gardening, flower beds etc., although I've heard that Mj plants produce a mild herbicide in the ground around them to deter encroaching weeds from there root area but I'm not sure if this is true or if it would be harmful to a compost pile, anyone know about this is it so?

also congrats to Buddy for his harvest looks like you did ok for yourself, I can hardly wait until mine are ready,

Compost everything possible or burn if able. Can you reuse the soil and containers? Got a garbage disposall? Chop and grind is what a buddy of mine did. Only go a little at a time, he found that out.

There is nothing like a nice camp fire after the grow.The dirt gives me the best looking lawn in the neighborhood.

Do not put this down your garbage disposer. Garbage disposers are NOT garbage cans and should not be used as such. What in the world are you going to do if you have to call the plumber to auger out your drains and there are pot leaves in there? Flat things like leaves and potato peels and round things like stems and spaghetti do not grind up well in a disposer. If you have a septic tank, the leaves can stay in the tank floating on top to be found my anyone working on or emptying the tank. For the same reasons you should not flush leaves and stems down your toilets.

i compost mine as well toss them in a rubbermaid tote with worms and more used soil, add some dried yard leaves and turn every few weeks. i also add composted cow poo and lime. before plantin in the soil i add perlite. works good so far.

I keep a box in my trunk of my car for my stuff. I black bag it and then put it in the cardboard box and close the lid. If I get pulled over by the gestapo then it looks like a box. I drive the speed limit and always check that my lights work before I leave so that I dont get pulled over for a break light out of some other stupid thing. I find a dumpster behind a grocery store and dump it and leave the box in the back. I never dump at the same place.

chuck em in the compost pile, blue mold coffee grounds, egg shells, all the leaves i rake up starting about now, tote it to the plot in the spring and till it in while i swill about a twelve pack.

 

[Tater]

I take my stuff to the dump myself. Through it out with the rest of the household waste.

Doesn't it stink? I mean, I realize the wood smoke would dull the herb smell a bit, but does it completely cover it? This would work out very well for me, but I've always thought it would be a dead give-away because I live in a heavily populated area so I never tried it.

I just add mine to the trash and set it out on the curb on trash day.

 

[godspeedsuckah]

Mine get tilled in the veggie garden after I cut everything into small pieces.

The area where I live does not have curbside gargabe pick-up. We do have access to several dumpsters for our domestic trash. I make sure that my "trash" goes into the dumpster when the dumpster is about half full. I feel that there is little chance of it being discovered. Also, If I have anything in my fridge that is really icky and needs like a haz mat team to dispose of , I might just dump it on the top of the cut up leaves and stems--and into the dumpster...hehehe
