Oh I am on my stuff…In my trailer, and my Bed…
I do have a business partner, who won’t let me go full no-till, until I can prove it’s worth…Hence the trial bed in the shop…My trailer is all my own stuff…That is still going to be No-Till, no matter what, and the the 4x20 bed.
But, like I said earlier, I need to try it out in my trailer and Bed, before I transition the shop to full No-Till…It is triple digits in lites…So I can’t mess around. I have a $80,000 debt to think about, for the rest of the start up of the shop…Bloody A/C alone is 50+ G’s haha. Then the double ended’s…So I still need to use bottled stuff for the main bulk of the shop, to pay the bills…I am very new to No-Till, after all, and that is a pretty big debt, to fk around with…I would have no problm doing the whole shop No-Till, if you have the 80+ G’s to lend me? Haha
Sorry to break your heart Buddy. I’ll still try to make you proud haha…
On a side note…The leader of the kick the bottle movement, does not do the movement too well, when he is nowhere to behold…Haha (I kid).
P.S. The Raw line, is not liquid or bottled Nutes…It is all natural stuff, no?

Haven’t really checked out the Raw line closely I do like listening to Harley though!
Damn to bad you can’t grow outdoors? How about a trailer with a roof that can retract somehow save on those darn light bills , solar panels to offset electric? Swamp cooler are pretty efficient .

How about getting a plasma cutter out and cut out 30-50% of the roof and replace with plexiglass or something similar?
This reminds me of a guy on you tube vid some where that’s making a killing it on doing microgreens on shelving units in a semitrailer with natural light

I wish I could grow in a big greenhouse, with Lite Dep involved…But this is not my property, I am working on getting my own land. Then I can rock No-Till full steam, and save on Hydro…I have grown a lot of outdoor here, but to do it the way I would is putting my balls on the line, for the chance we don’t get rain and mold out my entire crop (it has happened before). This Island I live on, and where I am on it, is nasty for rain. It never stops in the fall.
I have a hate for BC Hydro, like no other haha. So, I am in the middle of a plan on keeping them honest, and not over charging the shit out of me.
The shop could not handle, just using the negative pressure, for exhaust. I turned on the lites at 9 pm, and by 9:15, the shop temp went form 73 degrees to 94 degrees…Can’t have that, so I had to get unexpected a/c, just to run through summer.
As far as the trailer…It’s fine in there, I have air shades, and an overkill exhaust system. I built it with overkill air movement, and lighting. It is actually purring around nicely.
Ha! that sounds like a cool idea…unfortunately, the shop is brand new, and I can’t get away with cutting her up haha. Those Micro green guys make bank. I have almost thought of doing something like that in the future. The local restaurants would pay me good money, for fresh organic microgreens, and herbs.
I am really enjoying learning this No-Till…Super stoked to do right by my girls…You know…due to me having to eventually murder all of them haha.

Funny timing…Look what I just read : https://www.piquenewsmagazine.com/whistler/here-comes-the-sun/Content?oid=13940331 Maybe we can figure out how to use our bugs to build solar power.

I use soap nuts or soap wort plant that grows around the yard. I chop the plant to fill a pyrex dish. Fill the dish with boiled water. After water cools, remove plants and use funnel to transfer soap wort water to spray bottle or jug.

Not a common plant you can find at your local nursery is there some where that one can find these?

The soapwort grows in the hedges around my house. I think the nurseries may consider it a ditch flower 
The seeds are sold online and its a perineal plant. My hedges were seeded by the soapwort growing in my neighbor’s hedges.

I’ve been using a soap nut glycerine tincture I made. I really like it.
