cardrona Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) I am an old school horticulturist ...we know how to grow tasty herb ....for flavour and yield....I aint a dealer there is a difference ....oops and I forgot other additives are 3 or 4 shovels of ash out of a fire,and ask your local coffee shop for there used coffee and your hairdresser for a bag of hair these are cheap highly nutritious and free and in dry areas with highs over 40 place ag line in a circular snake with a piece sticking out of the ground to water into to stop evaporation.Water the foliage in nov dec Jan as well before 4.30pm so they are dry by night .....mimics the tropicsThat's a 20 year old recipe...if you do this properly you will provide enough for one person smoke for the year and too make some oil as well...and give some away.Best of luck Post your results Edited June 9, 2017 by cardrona 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardrona Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) If you are going to plant seed straight in the ground....water the site first in the morning then before you take seed out of glass . soak the seeds in straight water till afternoon and plant 5 or 6. up to 12 scattered around then cover them with dirt 1cm deep Dont water till they sprout.In 2-3 weeks after sprouting cull down to the best 3 or 4 and then cull to the best one the following week or move it to another site etc....if you time this right and wait for a rainy 2-3 day period move the plant during this wet time and it will not suffer transplant shock ..use some snail pellets if its wet and you are near a home garden or keep an eye out for snails then.Encourage money spidersKeep your best looking male's pollen then cull the rest do this for a few years and your seeds will be a climatised to your area...just pollinate one side branch each year ..You will have better genetics than any bought seed after 3 seasons for your site area .find nth east facing sites ...that start to get some shade after 3-4pm sun first thing till at least 3pm..this will counteract if you get a stinking hot summer with many days over 40Only ever walk to within one spot of it ...never walk around it you will harden the ground Edited June 9, 2017 by cardrona 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hold moisture, build fertility, maximise surface volume and are great spaces for growing fruit, vegetables and herbs.

itchybromusic Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 That's what I'm done/doing at homevery cool , love to look see Hey AB sorry i missed your post i had a skim though just some thoughts i noticed you said you larva rock or scoria as we know it that's great aeration to have though your mix , gives a home for benne's to live as well as aerating the complete hole when mixed thoughpersonally i wouldn't put stones in the bottom , would rather have more mix / plant - benne food , but each to there own , either or if your making a compost hole to plant into you can pop down to the local health food store & pick up some dried herbs pretty cheap , lookup what herbs are used in making biodynamic compost & mix them in go to a brew store & get some rice hulls , very cheap carbon source , works as aeration but will break down & addsilica as they do benne's can be helped to kick on with plenty of rock dust , i use a healthy quantity of basalt rock dust in my mixes& along with the rock dust , calcium = oyster shell flour , dolomite , & also gypsum , handy the ol gypsum in floweradd sulphur , which will help add to terpene production the longest to build are fungal communities so the more you can help that the better , wood / straw are good forfungal growth in a compost pile sorry if i'm repeating anyone else's info & not reading the thread completely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
