pedro de pacas Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 you can buy geopot planter beds , there more like 12-14" high from memory don't generally need depth , more width IMO concrete can be a prob , i'd have something as a buffer between the concrete i think i've seen what looks like flood & drain tables as a sort of drip tray for beds & buffer from concrete but also guys using blu mats in beds with no run off https://youtu.be/T_dncqRuB8Uor running large SIP beds in tents https://youtu.be/mzhJezefA1E moving plants from outdoor to indoor is always a lill tough outside you have the protection of the soil food web , bugs keep each other in check once indoors you loose some of that food web , if a few sneaky lill suckers get in they might not have any control bug keeping numbers low need to have a good IPM regime B4 moving plants indoors i reckon Not to worried about pests, have always run a open door policy, what's outside is normally inside, if its a soil problem the cure will be in the garden bed outside, a few shovels of dirt from there should fix it.cost me about $1.50 an ounce this season, pots where outside all day or 12 out 12 in, only used the lights to see or bad weather daysNot one pest problem this year inside or out, only found one caterpillar, but seen plenty crawling across the foot path (never made it) got a 1m x 2m flood and drain tray on milk crates, to keep the pots off the concrete, might be able to do something with it, run it on pallets to spread the loadgot a bit of time got some on the go at the moment, next one I will give it a go, should be funGot a green/brown thumb and not shy to have a go, got plenty of different plants/weeds here to compost and make teas out off Not sure what IPM is, or maybe I do, internal pest management?

cardrona Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Just don't forget to fertilise your cucumber plants with a rich source of potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus... or you wont have any cucumbers to cut up and stick around your plants. Or you can cut out the middle vegetable and just fertilise the cannabis plants directly.Yes true ...have you tried this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardrona Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 , cutting up any vegetables and leaving it on top of your medium is fucking stupid. . you must be from the school of itchybro hey.

_Puff_Tough_ Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Yeah, because rotting decomposing fresh vegetable matter is fine to plant right into the top soil ....... Why is there a need for proper composting protocols then dickwad ? You fucking nimbin-ites are fucking done with, when there is med cannabis growing everywhere in oz the revenue you make by ripping off the influx of tourists and fellow ozzies is going to dry up and youre going to have the shittiest fucking dope in the whole of oz...... well done!
