Corey's outdoor 2020/2021 seasons

That’s awesome! I will definitely do that. Thanks @ReikoX! How much should I mix in with the water?

I think its a 1:1000 dilution for a soil drench, so about 4 ml/gal should be more than enough.

We always just use a few drops of unscented Castiel soap. Works great for spraying Herbacide on large spots of invasives like Serecia lespediza. It allows the fluid to more easily spread across the leaves, making it a more effective use of something I hate to use(Herbacide).

It definitely helps to penetrate and permeate my hydrophobic soils too. :wink:

@gramps. This is the type of soil that I have been trying to better these last couple years. It’s hard as concrete. You can make pottery out of this stuff. It take a mega ton of compost, sand, and water…

I know what your talking about just dump tons of manure on top and rototill water and repeat . We had truck loads of turkey and goat manure dropped off and added to the horse manure which is free around here . A lot of the ranches will load for free a mix off horse manure and wood shavings . Our soil is red dirt with clay easy to turn in the spring but bakes hard as rock in the summer .

Native plants tend to help remediate poor soil. It’s the long game though. They shoot roots deep into the ground unlike most turf grasses.

I know that the term native is relative, but many species people are pushed to plant are not the best at benefiting your soil. Natives can also, generally, handle drought conditions and even wet conditions once established. Their roots are deep enough to find the ground water, and also help the watershed to penetrate the ground. I know that planting in a large area is easier if you could clear the whole thing but if you put some strips of natives around or even through your garden you’d lose some space, but your soil would probably benefit greatly over a few years.

If you’re interested, I’d gladly give more advice, and even send you some seeds of some plants that would help out. :seedling::rhinoceros::green_heart:

Man iv seen soil with crp grasses built up over time. Takes forever but if you do it right you can always do good in a field.
I always let the grasses grow back. So far this year I have only seen those small sunflowers

To contribute in some way, I have here the vetiver plant, which is a grass, native to the Indian region, the same that makes the Vietcong’s straw hat.
It has many uses…

It can grow to more than 20 feet of roots, and it does not produce seeds at my latitude (26° south).

Would make a great privacy barrier bet it grows fast ?
Be nice to have after reading about it sounds like it would survive winter weather possibly.

Nice work bro! Plants looking great.

Hey bud; quick question - my girls outside started re-vegging. I’ve had them covered up every night for 12 hours to put back into flower.

I used some black and white poly to cover - but it doesn’t cover my stems completely at the bottom- should I cover the entire plant ? It almost looks like the reveg leaves are getting worse at the bud tops :frowning:

Hey man! Thanks everyone! Yeah I would cover the entire plant. Just the smallest amount of light will off set an entire crop
If they are re vegging I would just let me go.

Okay, damn. They were a month into flower lol. So hoping to cover the bottom completely and keep flowering due to the short summers we get here.

Edit ; here’s a pic of the redneck setup lmao

Hey corey did you water the same way last season ? When we had ditch water we would buy a miners inch about 18,000 gallons a day ? and flood the garden and fill the pond a one inch square hole in the gate day or night our road was always flooded from leaks in the ditch . Wish we had all that water now I would dig a massive pond lol .
