List of Australian Organic NoTill Amendments and Components

As I wreckon the most flavourful herb is grown Organically.

This adventure in self medication will also help alleviate some chronic pain issues for me (Arthritis).

I am gunna experiment with some Comfrey

 

no worries Lair-iza

 

your organic herb will definitely help with your pain. comfrey is also magic stuff. out of interest ... which strain are you growing?

 

i mix my kief (at the moment from my grinder) with both a comfrey balm (containing coconut oil and shea butter) and also straight into a lavender oil bottle.

 

for me, they both help with topical pain. although there is no thc in the kief ... the thca and other cannabinoids are still effective. later i will try to extract the thc and cbd (using dry ice) from already vaped (decarboxylated) buds. if it works ... hoping that a mixture will be really good stuff.

G'day pug

 

Will be interested to hear about your experiment with other herbs and kief for topical app. Keep me posted

I have some Jack Herer and Critical Mass which have been on the back burner with my work commitments, I was able to re veg them/ transplant them and have been slowly building my indoor set up so can accomodate them for a permanent set up soon. There getting a bit lanky and need to be transplanted again into 27 litre pots and ready to flip them once i buy my extractor fan and carbon filter. Still learning about indoor growing techniques and appreciate all the help I can get. Looking forward to some flavourful buds once its 420 day

nice one .. . really like jack herer - haven't tried critical mass, but with afghani and skunk heritage, sounds great in my books ... must smell and taste delicious.

 

can't imagine that there will be any issues with your indoor set up, especially after revegging and transplanting successfully.

hey iza

i use 3/4 of a cup per 1.5 cubic foot ( 42 liters ) of a base soil mix 

 

27 liters is close enough to 1 cubic foot of soil mix , that works out at 1/2 cup of kelp meal per 27 liters 

 

i use kelp meal for other things as well , not just soil mixing 

a lill extra will never go to waste

Thanks man ! I got an old manual cement mixer which I plan to dust off the cobwebs and crank (literally) to mix my soil. Atm I am going through this resource with all the  advice and I am gunna mix up my soil with these in mind. Found some old 200 year old gum trees which have blown over and full of black delicous humus, however I dont know if it would be too acidic to mix in with my soil mix , but it looks pretty bloody nice ? what do you wreckon ?

 

Thanks again Itchy

[itchybromusic]

not sure iza 

 

gum / eucalyptus trees produce a toxin to control the area in which they grow , stopping / killing 

any other plant trying to grow near by & compete for resources with the gum  

 

most seem to suggest testing any compost made from gum trees B4 adding to your garden 

a thermophilic compost ( compost made by heat ) seems to be ok with gum tree clippings 

but it's also suggested to test it first 

 

might be fine to use but enter at own risk iza

Great mate yeah I did hear that. Same with river oaks (casuarina's) although a nitrogen fixing tree, the pine needles are toxic also. But It looks so black and deadly that luscious humus, but might just mix up one to see if she flourishes??

Will keep you posted......thanks brother ! It's all one big green adventure

hey itchy

 

noticed that one company is selling certified organic mulch (http://www.martinsfertilizers.com.au/mulch.html) ... not sure how good it is, but was just wondering which of the following you would use first for mulch ...

wheaten straw

lucerne mulch

Pea Straw (hay) mulch
