Going to continue to be a waiting game until January-February it looks like, which works out just fine for me. Too busy with life to even post, let alone do anything else. Case in point, all the photos I'm posting now were from 4 days ago! First batch of medical plants should be ready around...

Just keep learning my man, all we can do. Keep that mindset of yours, and continue to have fun with it, and you'll quickly find the sky is the limit! Plenty of people here willing to help. Plant in your picture looks perfect. Keep it up, happy growing!

Big reason I'm so stoked with living soil growing is how simple things get once you do the initial start up work. My back is deteriorating, sciatica issues. Haven't been working since June, when I started this garden in the first place. Donations for meds has been keeping me going, but I'm...

Couple new projects coming along. One step at a time. I work slow, and am a big advocate of "baby steps". Ensures one is always motivated, yet never overwhelmed. Silly as this sounds, never thought to grow in my front yard. Silly right? All this empty space doing nothing, perfect time to...

This is likely your issue. Said you were using well water before, correct? And the well water never caused these issues before, yes? Your well water has minerals that the plant/soil need, RO has stripped those minerals from the water, and now they are unavailable to your plant as a result...

Fliers or not, plants don't seem phased in the slightest. Very lovely and healthy. Could live multiple life times and I'd still enjoy seeing healthy and vibrant plants excelling. Good stuff, Myke.

For real. Isn't it funny how the people with the biggest mouths are usually just some inexperienced dude with no projects going themselves. "Your entire grow is textbook, and way better than anything I've ever done, but let me find one little 'mistake' to critique so I feel better about how...

lol typed this up last night, got caught up and just now getting back to it. Nothing too exciting to report on in terms of changes here. Still waiting for things to grow, fill out, and ripen. Newest transplants are doing great, and everything on the medical side of the grow is going just as...

That would be dope man, I've always encouraged that people post journals not just for personal notes, but you may end up helping somebody out. I know we've all been here; googling about some issue we're having with our garden, and we stumble across some post/journal someone made with the exact...

Woah, that's a trip. Would love to know whatever you find out about it, please feel free to post any interesting links/articles you may find about it here. Never heard of that term before, fascinated to learn more about it. I'd be even more curious to see the results of adding a...

Black? As in, the top 2ft of your soil is compost? Amazing, sounds like Washington or something. Funny, here in hardware stores we have bales of organic matter. I hear in Washington, its the opposite, instead of hardware stores having bales of organic matter they have bags of sand. I have...

Got more plants in the ground today. The two empty holes will be filled when the rest of my veg room plants fill out; I'm thinking the last week of this month or perhaps the 1st of next month. Time will tell. Took these photos because I was tripping at just how much compost I have from...

Exactly. I've just severely underestimated what the roots are capable of. I've been amazed and humbled at just how much "less is more" applies with a living soil. I've spent so little money in these past few months, it's been great :D

Long explanation with context; I only use 5-7 gallons of soil in the holes because I've found that it's the perfect amount of soil for me. Either 5-7 gallons of soil is all the plant's roots needs, or the plant needs more and simply grows its roots out of the soil and into the native dirt. I...

Thanks man, love the aloe too. Our property has a fuckton of aloe on it, and all over the place. Definitely comes in handy. Short explanation of not using beds is that, believe it or not, I've found I don't need nearly as much soil as I once thought I did. Once the root balls get to be 5-7.5...

Went for another woodchip run today. Looks like the wood chipper processed someone's palm tree clippings or something similar in nature. Looks more like shredded palm tree leaves than actual wood chips. Much different than the usual pick up I get, more straw like in consistency and looks nothing...

Hey man, I wish I had leaf mold! Mesquite and Palo Verde, so not much leaf mold to spread around. Just a bunch of tiny ass leaflets that Why I'm using the wood chips, they've been quite a lifesaver for me. Not much of this existed back here prior to May/June of this year, excluding the one old...

Found an old bag of radish sprout seedlings that I forgot about. They're a cover crop similar to clover, but they have a nice radish flavor to them. Tasty little sprouts, and will make the beds look much nicer once they all sprout. Pretty nifty what 3 months can do, really puts things in...

Got a lot more tomatoes coming in that I thought I'd have. Some of these plants are already 7-8ft tall, and I'm hopeful that will help them survive the winters. Who knows, maybe they just won't stop producing lol Love how this volunteer just didn't give a fuck and grew straight out of...

Hey guys, life's been hectic. I'm mostly in the process of waiting for things to grow and/or ripen, and thinking of new places I can convert for growing space. Had nowhere else to plant these, figured why not just throw them straight in some native dirt and see what happens. My hope is that...
