Beans as Amendment to increase Phosphorus

As an alternative to bone meal you can pop a can of organic beans.

Or beter yet, grow them for free while fixing nitrogen into your soil.

There you go, money saved that you can use for something else.

Vetch as covercrop is the absolute business.

Insects prefer it too, keeps them away from your harvest crops.

There are living alternatives to every amendment you think you need that you can sow and perpetuate forever. Life is infinite, about time we start using it to our advantage.
Think in terms of generations rather than years.

What kind of beans? and where the heck did u find info that says bean supply phosphorus in abundance? I’d sure like to see some actual proven research on that one claiming such a Ludacris thing especially with pinto beans, Lima beans, soy beans, garbanzo beans, green beans and so many different varieties that exist and blanket statement saying it will all add phosphorus

This seems more to me like spouting off some unproven facts to prove a point that " you don’t need to add all these extra amendments and can throw kitchen scraps kind of posting again"
It’s fine to have a belief but at least back it with proven facts, the quality from my methods speaks for itself which u haven’t seen firsthand to even knock in the first place

Clearly u have taken me on as a rival with your throw kitchen scraps at it only methods of organics vs my add more complex set of ingredients kind of organics and I’m perfectly fine with a gentleman’s battle but call me out directly on the methods to have a gentleman’s debate on it, not make a rediculous and ludicrous claim in a posting following one of my trivia questions on the free seeds thread

So I’m all ears as to how dumping a can of beans on a plant is gonna solve a deficiency going on today when it takes 6 weeks to even break down those beans and become bioavailable when I can brew a tea and have it available as soon as tomorrow with lots more microbes, vitamins, enzymes,aminos and minerals to go help it recover nicely from it’s deficiency shock/hunger… I’ll wait…

Have been wanting to try this badly. Literally one of the very few mediums/methods I’ve yet to utilize. Love the all natural effect and have found some strains fare much better in living soil in terms of terpenes and flavour expressions!

Mainstream Organic vs Hardline Ultra-Orthodox organic sectarian infighting lol.

Meanwhile MKP 0-52-34 is $5/lb and instantly soluble/available but if you think legumes are an improvement over that be my guest lol.

We call that Beanie Weenies here, lol… (actually, yours has what looks like some spicy sausage). Beanie weenies are baked beans and small wieners.

I’m going to give the KNF a try this year. I plan on fermenting everything! :grin: I do have a lot of wild plants all around my house and up to the mountains. Might as well use them and save gas and money on store bought organics.
