I got some "premium felt" from the fabric store to try my hand at sewing bags. After handling it for a bit I can tell it won't hold up. The stuff used in store bought brands is something different. I've looked but can't find the proprietors fabric. I could get 4 15 gallon bags out of 2 yards but I'll just buy em. At $7.99 a yard it would have been nice. Oh well it gives me more time to clean the garage.:wall:
steelheader,
what about using this premium felt for lining a hand fashioned wire pot. Thinking if a light workable wire gauge could be fashion as an out skelator frame then line your fabric inside, if cut properly this could be a viable way to use them without even sewing seams for you would kind of do a center punch down of cut square cloth into side of wire frame pot. The corner will overlap over top edge of frame. You could cut or bend and tuck back into frame. If cloth strong enough to hold weight without brusting should be fine. You may have to double up on how many cut pieces for each wire frame container.

Or just use it in your next vermi composting bin for air ventilation.:bigjoint:

OP posted this...can anybody elaborate on benefits?! I've been told enzymes are best for soil not foliars. Any links? Thanks dirt boys.

  • -Coconut - scraping coconut paste from a young coconut. Enzymes, auxins, elements, etc. 1 coconut can do 20 plants. 1 oz coconut water to 15 oz water foliar spray clones. Benefits are too numerous to list.



Can anyone answer this?!

when you make enzyme tea, does the ceed have to be viable? i have milled chia ceed and shelled hemp ceed for cooking , was hoping they'd work but figured i'd check first

if those won't work, would i be able to use burpee carrot , lettuce, bean, or broccoli ceeds?

You posted about it first red. I'll get the 'my little pony' and 'rainbow bright' prints for you. Dank thats a brilliant idea. I gotta pick up some welded wire for my vert screen anyway. Whats pissing me off about the welded wire is I can only find it at the feed store and its not cheap. $60. a roll. Any ideas where it might be cheaper?

I was thinking of using some small animal wire mesh myself, cut with snips and fashion together to form pot shape.

I think Red will confirm though he elaborated on fashion print selection, it was my suggestion to him that brought out his softer creative right brain thinking in him. Nonetheless I have him on record saying I get a percent of his makings because of my initial input bring forth the idea.

RCM... don't forget about paisley prints in pastels for those younger gals into horticulture. LMAO... Loving it!

I still think the Camo prints or better yet if we can get Duck Dynasty blessings, we could use their duck print on the cloth pots too.

Those enzymes which are good for soil are found only in the milk and that of young coconuts, from what I am told you have to go some asian store and to your cream of some young coconut...:lol:

Man this threads been cracking me up lately :) Sorry, but I was referring to the foliar application of enzymes. I could care less about the K, Ma, etc. in the coconut foliar. BTW, have you guys ever tried drinking pure coconut water...GROSS!

Ya RCM, for soil juice is good for soil biology.

Say I hear my urine has a high source of N for my plants and possibly other trace minerals, but I surely don't think about drinking it...:bigjoint:

So if I am to understand this you have thoughts about drinking the juice of a nut you picked up at the asian store?

Pure coconut water is bom. If you get an old coconut. The water can be pretty gnarly though. The fresher the better. You can get them anywhere. WalMart, sprouts, Albertsons, Ralphs, Whole foods, Trader Joes, Clarks Nutrition, Vons, Pavillions, Gelsons, etc...

Your soil looks super wet but I don't see anything wrong with fungus breaking it down, same thing would happen if you tossed it in a cold compost pile or worm bin.

You nailed the moisture issue, though I had drain slits in that solo, I did get the excess out and plant looks fine. Had other clones in solo with good drainage just I had watered the neem well to help break it down.


Okay Thanks NickNasty, I'll just let that fungi do its thing. I normally don't see this even with topping fresh fish compost. Just as long as it brings no harm or else I am doing a transplant.

I bought some BOGO on the Vita or whatever brand 100% coco water, and I don't think it's any better than cheap ass bulk barley. SST FTW. Soooo, why foliar enzymes?

Foliar for minerals not enzymes... Enzymes don't have any benefit on leaves.
This is what I thought. Thanks pyroot ;) So I'll take the coco out of my foliar and just stick to kelp, aloe, occasional alfalfa, and protekt/agsil (thinking about horsetail). Anyone foliar with HT? To cold to grow here and I found a place that sells leaf for 10$/#

A few posts late but, heavy landscaping fabric for home made smart pots! Cheap, easily malleable, and non corrosive wire for these kinds of element exposed projects is aluminum electric fence line. It's usually found near the no climb animal fencing in the lawn and garden section at lowes or home depot.
