RE: Grow Diaries 2024 #16 'Living Soil' And A Weird Growth 🍄
Great points you bring up in this article about composting your own live soil.
I could claim that this compost above was a 'hyper soil' with a certain strain of slimy fungus in it, and some people would probably buy it.
Insane.
That is certainly true, and in my opinion one of the issues with the industry. It's easy to choose the next buzz words and slap it on a bag and clueless people will buy it right up.
It makes more sense to learn how to compost your own.
I utilize a type of fertilizing composting, which is not really composting, while adding blood in a composting type of way to the soil I have sitting nice and moist in a bin. It sometimes grows mushrooms too :)
If you grow indoors, it might be different. But then you are on the wrong path to be begin with.
That doesn't leave a good taste for those who believe we take into the field what we learn in the books, or maybe better put as a question; how can it be starting off on the wrong path when valuable insights can be taken into outdoor growing? It seems a little cynical towards indoor cultivation the way you put it. Can't say that I agree with this perspective but that's ok.
I just throw it all into a pile. That's it.
Nothing to learn, honestly.
If I didn't have my own compost, I'd find a place where leaves congregate; ditches, under dead tress, etc... I'd just dig some of that up and bag it.
Did you read the linked post?
I go into more detail there and I don't think you could disagree with that and also understand, where I am coming from...
This seems logical to me. I've heard soil that's been under heavy leaf cover can bear nutrient rich soil, and that makes perfect sense with the foliage breaking down and cycling back for uptake. as well as protection from getting scorched from the sun.
No, but perhaps you will change my mind if I do. I feel doubtful that you will change my mind that experience growing cannabis indoors translates to useful experience that will be beneficial for outdoor cultivation as well, but I'm always up for a challenge :)
