I guess what I like about soil is that if you relax and STFU and listen to the birds… Ahh shit I was only playing…
What I really wanted to say is I went through this entire “short” thread and highlighted a bunch of quotes by all of you and in the end I had way to many awesome quotes in my reply and erased them… I felt like a arsekisser I guess!
So let me just say this, “Soil is the Shit”.
I took a few of my fallen solders (Thanks! @GrowingInThePines)/ Mystery Seeds (Thanks! @rlslmshdy ) And chucked them in with my other herb plant and this is what I got.
Now let me explain why soil is the shit.
I literally went outside and threw some seeds in a pot. I did not bury any seeds. I did not lightly dust the seeds. I simply threw the little bastards in a pot and walked away and never thought about what I did again.
Not sure how many days went by but I did start seeing some more life in the herb pot. When I bent down I could see a few seedlings poking their little helmet heads up. So what did I do? I didn’t do shit:.
As the days went by I witnessed the cotyledons throw their helmets on the ground and some true leaves start forming. The whole time this was happening I didn’t do shit.
I just watched. (ya! I am a plant watcher) I took the above picture today, I think, and still haven’t done, you guessed it, shit…
Ya, ya I know…For the record the above pot is one of those cheapo bottom water pots so technically I did fill the bottom with water as I would normally do for the other herbs that were in the pot. But remember I water 100% of my plants from my outside hose water. My hose water is 100% plain o’l well water.
So technically I did do something to grow the seedling I watered the bottom when it was dry.
But then… when I was up potting from Solo cups into 1 gal pots I noticed this little guy and his younger sibling in the area I was going to start putting all of the new pots.
Now this little “Wildman” was another Mystery seed that was just tossed outside. I didn’t even water the little bastard. I simply threw his arse outside. I trample in this area moving plants around and don’t even pay attention to any ground foliage as I am simply going to chop and drop it. BUT… Today I noticed the little Bastard … How could you not…
Anyway, this little bastard is alive and living his best life simply because some dumbarse threw his arse outside in sum soil and walked away.
Now that is why soil is the SHIT in my book…because I didn’t do shit.
