The Importance of Soil Shade
The more shade you have on the soil, the more activity you get in the top layer, which is where most of the magic happens.
Low, ground covering companion plants are excellent, grow zucchini, pumpkins, cerastium, coriander, clover, marigolds, and many others right alongside your cannabis to facilitate that and make your garden more productive and more beautiful and to attract more beneficial insects.
Instead of wasting time, effort, resources, energy to get rid of unwanted insects, invite legions of the ones that eat them by sowing the plants that attract them. But you can’t and don’t need to get rid of all of them, all that’s necessary is balance. And balance is what creates abundance, and when you have abundance then who cares about a little loss?
All you gotta do is sow more seeds.
Let them work for you, they want to.
This is what gives everything more flavor, more terpenes, more joy.
The longer you can observe without judgement the more you will see that everything works together in existence even if it doesn’t apparently seem so.
Every disaster that I can possibly think of has had positive impact as well.
Every time it awakens tremendous compassion, and it reminds us to be grateful for all that we have, even if it seems like little. It can all disappear in the wink of an eye.
So please, throw some more different seeds around.
Diversity is our biggest treasure.
It also in turn activates a wider diversity of beneficial / mycorrhizal fungi which in turn helps the soil hold more water, feeds bacteria, helping decomposition, and creates CO2 right at the feet of the plants which again feeds them.
Shading soil is absolutely essential.
And all you gotta do is select the species of plants and throw the seeds down.
Prune, chop and drop at will.
Harvest only half of everything and your soil and yields will improve and increase so fast, year after year, it’ll make your head spin.
Harvesting only half of everything means the rest keeps ripening creating seeds genetically adapting to your specific location, making the new generations stronger.
Harvesting only half of everything saves enormous amounts of money, long term, because no machines are needed, no seeds need to be purchased or collected.
Nature doesn’t need automation, it is the automation.
It all keeps going and all we need to do is sow abundantly once, then harvest only half of what we get, that’s it.
It couldn’t be easier.
