Minimal spices but some damn good food if you're into ethnic foods like I am. Damn I'm getting hungry thinking about Africa and Ethiopa in particular. Went to a B52's, Berlin, OMD concert at the Oregon Zoo last summer and was sitting next to an Ethiopian food vendor. I ate some of what they had and was completely blown away. The food was delicious. Full of flavor and spicy but not too spicy as to ruin the meal. I still think about that food to this day.

You know what I’ve seen a few Ethiopian restaurants about with great reviews. Might have to get ripped and check one out.

I love some heat to my food. Although as you said some make spicy food just spicy for the sake of spicy spice without imparting flavour!

Like the difference between authentic Mexican food made with Habeneros vs American style Mexican food...not just heat, it's the flavor.

Damn...now you guys have made me hungry too.

Oh crap. There's a Taco truck a few blocks down the street. I'm tempted to walk down there and get some but I'm not going to because I have all the ingredients to make them myself. I'm having tacos's for dinner tonight! Yum yum yum :hump:

For now I'll eat last night leftovers and some smoked salmon. Damn, now I have to go to the store for some beer.

The absolute best plants I ever grew outdoors were in river soil, right on a river bank, in the Northeast US. Not a pebble in that soil and you could till it effortlessly. I put in 16 small plants and every one of them grew to over 8' tall, with zero added nutes. Unfortunately it wasn't my land & I had to harvest by boat, but I've never been able to duplicate that first grow over 20 years ago!

But yes, it does look to need something for aeration, or mix that river soil 50/50 with some good organic soil

I've never heard of that soil before or seen a soil consistency like that being used in any grow before.
But I did a quick Google search and it informed me that this is very rich in nutrient medium.
Though the consistency of it still has me a little concerned for drainage and air for the roots. And the roots are going to have to work twice as hard to push through that material versus a hydro set up where it basically has nothing to push through. I personally would add a crap ton of perlite.
But I shouldn't give advice for something I've never grown in. I'm very curious to see how these progress I will be following along.
