I thought I would start a thread just for my garden. Any and all questions are welcome. I have seen a lot of misinformation and fads over the years, so I will try my best to share what I have learned from many years of trial and error. I will post in here with current pictures of my garden...

I use to put a swamp cooler in my room to get the humidity up, but now I find it unnecessary. If you get your soil right(i do notill) the humiditiy is a non-issue in Colorado. When your plants are healthy they will thrive in most any conditions. Even when it's 16% humidity:)

I put crystals in all of my notill pots. Crystals tune "bad" frequencies into "good" frequencies so I thought, "why not". :)

There's an htg a few miles from me. I wouldn't advise using the stump tea. I would just make your own compost tea's. It is easy, and cheap. You can also use plant based teas with great results. Comfrey, nettles, yarrow, kelp, alfalfa, willow bark, and moringa. If you don't know about moringa...

I've messed with this about 5 years ago. Never pursued it further. There are a number of plants that have similar properties that I worked with for a few months. I didn't like the results so I stopped testing everything.

That's why I asked. usually when you burn with neem it's all of the plants. Being that it is just that plant I was going to suggest genetics. Only way to tell for sure is flower her again. That is assuming you made cuts of here.

Have you flowered her before, or is this the first time running her? I have seen burnt pistols with heavier neem, esenstial oils, pyrethrin, etc., However it doesn't sound like you did anything that would have done. that.

In my 20 gallon notills My nematodes seem to fade after about a month. I also use rove beetles and hypoaspis miles so a food source doesn't last long. :) I reapply nematodes every 6 weeks or so. Supposedly they can last up to 18 months in your soil, but I have yet to get that kind of longevity...

Thanks so much! No problems. Always takes time to settle into a new place. I'm sure things will smooth out after a while. :)

We sell pipes though. We don't have anything to do with gardening. That's why I thought I posted in the right area. So I can't post my garden pictures in the standard forums? If not no problem, just want to clarify. Thank you for your help.

We are in the right place now! Thanks for the help sunni

Yes if you can move it there that would be great. What about replying to posts? Is that ok? The rules here are a little different than I am use to. thanks for the help.

I don't understand how me posting a video is trashing someone.

So you don't post up threads on here? I can only post in the advertisers forum? I'm new to this site. Sorry if I'm not suppose to. All the other forums I'm on this is how it's done. thanks for the help.

I don't understand what you said. Are you talking about increasing nutrient cycling? Increasing microbes will do this. Growing more in the tea will do this as well. It is about diversity as you should use multiple compost sources. All of them containing different microbes. That's why I use...

Microbial diversity is key. That's what compost tea can bring to any table.

Here's a video of a beneficial nematode I made. Many people use them, but don't actually ever get to see them. They are great for keeping fungus gnats down. Although they can be flushed from your pots if you get much run off. In a notill system they are a good addition because typically you...

Some people over due it with molasses for a sweet "taste". Never heard of it being the cause of a harsh smoke though. What is the logic in this? Why do you think it would make it harsh?

There's a million ways to build brewer's. I use to have a line of commercially available brewer's. I spent 2 years designing them. The one thing I learned is you don't know how good a brew is without a microscope. That being said Tim Wilson(aka microbeman) has great info on his page. I would...

I use them once a week, sometimes ever other week. I will foliar and water the same day because I have a fresh batch made. Here's another one(not as clear) where you can see an amoeba center stage. It's the big blob in the middle down lower.
