Fish Hydrolysate

[itchybromusic]

It makes perfect sense itchy and what a wonderful cycle to be caught up in. I May have to live vicariously through you, cc and the like until I get my shit together. My veggie garden is pathetic also sorry I'm a downer but I feel I just suck at life. I'm trying water only through blumats in CC's mix, I have tried them before in coco with miracle grow plus silica and struggled dialling in and then slime blocking the lines, I just went back to hand water in the end. So please wish me luck with this round, total stranger

I will save the link thanks itchy, bye.

You be right mate , all been there i think , one day it will click mate , you watch & when it does you'll just giggle ya mother F'ing arse off , cos it'll feel good , real good

good luck to ya mate , any time , any time at all brother  

Cheers 

Itchy

cheers itchy, They just self propagate here the buggers are feral. I know how to fillet, I burn myself cooking all the time.

 

I'll look into it, wondering about putting in the worm food blender. They got some blended males today.

Not sure about the worm bin worth trying a little bit to the side somewhere & see what happen

but the fact it go's off pretty quick when fresh & producers stuff i don't think the worms will like 

but that would be the inner fillet maybe the outer green might be diff

 

aloe coming up everywhere should give you a good idea of what soil is round the place ,

if ya don't know already but i'm guessing ya do 

 

Got some males in the bin today aye , happy tribe of little vegemites they be

 

did you see the post re juicing raw cannabis , doesn't get you high unless you blend the juice with a coconut water & flesh  

well so it seems to be , just be interesting to see if it works without decarbing 

 

cheers husky

sweet 

didn't know you were a lacto kind of girl

Ex organic market gardener... in between then and now I have opted for the hydroponic simplicity with regard to growing weed, especially indoors, but I am slowly redeveloping the gardens (front and rear) with a view to maximum food production. With that in mind, I am paying more attention to the bugs again.

Sounds very sweet Lu , if only to live next to you to knock off the front garden stuff as i walk by , Nuh not good happens a bit round hear , people stealing new plants u've planted in ya front yard , dirt bags

 

Just a note on using the yakult as your lacto source , I'm not to sure about yakult but the milk fat in full cream milk seems to add a little to the mix , yield wise you can seem to get more serum from low fat or 2% fat milk

but you def have a better product with the full cream milk , in fact if you live near a dairy & could get it direct from the cow that would be better again but unfortunately there not aloud to sell direct like that

 

If you've got the time & a little spare space you can run a test , try using compost &/or castings & bokashi as a top dress , keep well mulched nice thick layer & no till just top dress & leave ,  bokashi will get the nutrient

cycling happening for you & the added life in the soil will aerate  & there for no dig needed & no destroying of mycelium network though digging , there's also cover cropping but i know your very aware of that already

We used to have the same sort of things happening, even a new rubbish bin would get nicked off the street if you weren't quick enough to get it in again after the truck went through... it is a nicer neighbourhood these days, but I will still be putting up a front fence as a bit of a deterrent.

I could always add a splash of full cream milk? I know where to go if I want milk tapped straight from the vat... bit of a drive but when I go out to pick up spoilt silage for the garden I will pickup some raw milk.

Yup, the veggie garden is already in raised beds... I am on a clay fill for the most part, the only digging and turning is to incorporate enough compost and coco fibre into the native soil to stop it from turning into rock as the weather warms. Once established, the beds are no till. The worst thing about a no till bed is that the soil is so lovely you just want to have a dig around in it

It was a long and difficult day... takes me a few hours to wind down in the evening. Enjoy your gardening

well i'll shut up now Ms Ex market Gardener , spoilt silage , raw milk , you got it going on there Lu ( Ex = Expert )

 

now i'll just have ta get ya some malted barley to grind up & feed ya garden , will help the microbes do there thing & make ya plants pray to there vege god ,

something to see i tells ya , at under $5 kg cheap too , love to send you some Lu for a test feed , well maybe a small test feed , yours sound quite spacious

& i'm not a tight arse i swear

 

Have seen vids of a guy describing similar ground to yours with a demonstration of that ,  he only ever top dressed , compost castings mulch

& in only a short time he was able to push his hand though the soil to his elbow with ease , never tilled once just let the soil dwellers aerate the soil for him

Haha the oxymoron of notill is it's so lovely you just have dig around and check it out! Sounds like some great soil you are building Louise nice to see there is knowledgable organic garderners here. I am trying to be strictly organic in my garden but I like hydro aswell its each to their own with what they prefer or circumstances permit in life.

 

Something random but has anyone used soapnuts before? Full of saponins, ive only just started using it to try keep my peat from becoming hydrophobic easily. It's too early to report but I like what I see after Using at transplant this week and wet easy(no mulch)with today's first splash of water. Best thing is I no longer use laundry powder! 5 nuts in a clothe bag will do 5 cycles and it is working like the powder septic tank should be loving it.

I had to read that three times, for a moment I thought you were using laundry powder as a wetting agent for your peat
