That's absolutely gorgeous MrCane! I would love to sit there. I hope my backyard is as beautiful as yours one day.

Welcome friend!

You can see sure see where the majority of the tyranny is.

The no till method has been around for a long time. I think the Rev just found about it and decided to use some fancy names and marketed it to sell his book. How I understand it is leaving the soil untouched except for added compost, top dressing, different teas, and cover crops. This allows for...

Much mojo in your new place THG!

Haha Rosebud. I just thought you were extra helpful! Yeah I must have killed it with too much love or too rich a soil. Yeah Zem, it isn't too often we have to figure out how to make crappy soil is it? I found this mix online from http://www.gardeners.com/how-to/grow-lavender/8597.html...

Thank your for sharing your story and your wisdom brother. I'll keep it close. I'm sorry about that red neck judge. Mean people suck.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1ElU0t-1r0 This is an hour long about growing marijuana in Humboldt County, but it's really about being self sufficient and living with the environment. When the woman speaks about homesteading at the 35 minute mark it hits home to me. I'm going to do my best...

Amen. I can't figure out why everyone is in such a rush. People just need to learn how to enjoy slowing down and taking it easy. The world would be such a better place. International Institute of Not Doing Much

My wife bought some lavender, rosemary, and chives. Last year I had lavender and rosemary and both died. I always thought I had a green thumb until then. Anyway...the tag says rosemary and lavender like sandy soils. Does anyone have a good soil recipe for them or even a good ready to go bagged...

Yeah I'm living in the nightmare now. My wife loves the city and I hate it, but I love her more than I hate the city. I've tried to convince her to move to the country to no avail :joint4: I know what you mean about the trees blocking the sky. When I was young I had the best of both worlds. I...

Well I heard about the moonshine mix and bought everything for that before I heard about this no till so it's what I'm going to use. I'm sure you know, but just in case you don't the moonshine mix is just a bag of FFOF, bag of FF Light Warrior, and a bag of FF Planting Mix. It calls for...

That's a beautiful view you have there. Looks like the perfect spot for relaxing with a smoke. I had a goat when I was a kid. I loved that goat, even though she was a stubborn sob. I wish I could see her again. I live in the city so it's probable I'll never get a goat again, but if I could...

Awesome! 6 inches was what I was thinking and now that you said that's what it'll be. How do you top dress? I've been reading to put about an inch to two inches of EWC down after I plant; does that sound good? I also read to amend with crab, neem, and kelp, but just a very little bit. How...

With the no-till method how much space do I have to leave between the top of the soil and the top of the container? I'd imagine that if you don't leave enough space eventually you'd reach the top of the bucket after years of top dressing. I was planning on using a 20 gallon smart pot that has a...

Thanks Umbra. I'm sorry your original reply just confused me. Your second one, spot on :aok:

I should clarify, I'm talking about bugs in the medium, not on the plant. Will perlite get bugs in it or at least less than coco?

I was first thinking about doing a DWC, but I came across hempy buckets and they seem so much easier so I figured I'd at least give it one try before going to DWC. My question is about the medium. I was thinking about coco and perlite, but then I hear about bug problems. If I run just perlite...
