Outdoor preparation (eventually)

[papasmurf99]

So... Ive been trying to digest as much literature as i can lately to start ripping into my garden. The goal is to eventually have a really nice organic compost going and eventually become self sufficient, veggies(we have recently dropped meat) , weed etc. Already have solar and planning on piping in some more rain water tanks.

 

Will be adding a hempy veggie garden section see how that goes. Gunna dig out my bed and replace the shit soil and start prepping for a big outdoor beast. Maybe a couple autos aswell while the weather is good.

 

Im fairly new to all of these other than the basic lawn maintenance so open to any advice. Im only making this post so early as im bored and spamming other peoples threads too much haha.

 

Keen for any advice/direction. Will be picking a few brains in the coming months.

Just search for itchys posts mate. Also cardrona is a wealth of info, and of course the queen of green. I still go back and re-read the stuff they post because there's so much to take in. I'm trying similar but more as hobby. I get an egg a day from the chooks even now haha

Have you read any books papa?

 

I would recommend two

 

Teaming with microbes and teaming with nutrients. I may have pdf versions I can link up later this weekend as I think I could only find a lot of paid ones for it. But good info about organic growing and soil structure

There's tonnes of different worm farm designs on the interwebs mate, I went with one that tapers to the bottom so worms stay up top and castings flow to the bottom.

 

The old man had bath tubs on cinder blocks and covered with old carpet and shit to keep them dark. As long as they're not in direct sunlight through summer and not freezing cold in winter they should be ok.

 

Check what to feed them too because some scraps such as citrus doesn't fly well with them

Or meats and fruit n Vegies with oil dressing no go
