RE: Grow Diaries 2024 #16 'Living Soil' And A Weird Growth 🍄
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.
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.
Did you read the linked post?
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 :)
I can't get over this:
Somewhere, someone shovels coal into a plant, burns it, that heats up water, that produces steam, the steam is run through turbines, those produce electrical current.
The current gets transformed and distibuted via long ass cables and things, gets transformed again and delivered to people's walls.
Then people have plants under a roof, which blocks out the sun.
They use the coal power (or oil or whatever), to grow the plants.
That's so backwards - just from an energy viewpoint.
Imagine, if I told you:
I have no bycicle, but instead I have a stationary push-bike at home, connected to a generator, where I charge an e-scooter battery with it.
I have to pedal for 2 hours, to use the scooter for 5 minutes (tops).
...
Maybe I am bitter about this; under prohibition, we only had indoor weed.
Just from an environmental, pollution, energy efficiany viewpoint - just imagine the amount of CO2 that releases, the infrastructure it takes, all while the sun is shining - Doing the same thing, just as good, if not better.
