What material is that? Seems like the weight of the soil would tear it.

Lol thanks ...I have a feeling that these might make the others look small

Subbed. Fascinated to watch how you get such huge results in a northern climate. Even if my circumstances wouldn't let me duplicate your methods, I can already see ways that I can tweak my own garden.

Thanks for sharing!

Hey thanks so much...but honestly the game changer for me was to stop using soil. Really the results came from the manure.
Every grow is a learning process and I have really had to learn how to tweak everything to make it work up here! I appreciate the love though

Could you explain this a little more? What do you mean by stopped using soil?

Raised bed looks great !!

Because I don't use any "dirt" I grow in 100% composted manure. I ammend it as one would soil... but that's about it. The hay that is in the poo makes for amazing drainage like I've never seen. So there is no use for perlite etc. And the farmer I get it from added tons of red wigglers...so no need to add worm castings because it's already in the mix

I would like to add that the only reason I am growing above ground this yr is I'm sick of growing in straight red clay. No drainage at all...it I

Ah ok, Horse manure?
I used to have horses and found you could use straight manure for seedlings but never considered using it for a long term potting mix.

Cow actually. As long as it is aged (and has no smell) it is composted properly and is not hot at all. It is light and fluffy...full of tons of micro beasties, along with other wonderful properties. If you did a side by side using soil in one and composted manure in the other...trust me brother...you would never ever go back

 

[ganga gurl420]

P.s. plus it is cheap as can be. I get 5000 gallons for 300$ so between the nutes that run me 250 and the manure...The cost of seeds and the cheap cost materials that I am using for my boxes basically I am looking at about $65 a plant.
But when you are looking at 4-5+ pounds a plant....well....you do that math lol

 

[NoTillPhil]

In NY I would have probably had similar results. Here in Colorado the salt content of cow manure is to high.

Thanks for answering my question though, I'm sure you've got a few peoples wheels turning.

Lol thanks...but just to let you know...you can wash manure. Or like me make sure the manure is aged about 4 yrs and that is outside in a pile that gets rain. Organic farms are usually best to go to

 

[NoTillPhil]

Around here puddles leave salt stains and you can visibly see the salt lines along creeks and waterways. Saline content is the biggest battle with fixing our soil. So for me it's mostly plant matter when it comes to adding organic material. I did add some cow manure to the compost piles before I learned about the salt content.
