nothing will grow a crop more tasty than homemade compost, kelp, alfalfa and comfrey.

Today I went Into the woods and looked for fallen trees that have rotted into finished compost. Usually from termites. I collected 20 gallons and will let it compost some more for a few months. Then. Make a type of super soil. Then let that sit again until bringing it inside.

I own a pet rabbit that is house trained and uses a little box like a cat. My rabbit poops in a little tray and the pellets pile up prefectly, staying nice and dry. So, basically, I have a manure factory living in my house.

Rabbit Manure is my secret ingredient. I grind it up in a coffee grinder and it looks and behaves just like good soil ! Great to make teas or to add directly to the soil. My plants seem to love it. (I go easy with it)

My one time ‘secret ingredient’….
One tablespoon of my brother in law’s ashes. He was a grower too and I honored him by mixing a tablespoon of his ashes into my Subcool super soil mix and let it cook over summer. I can only hope someone would do the same for me when I pass.
I know quite a few old school growers who's ashes went the same way as per there wishes ya gotta respect that man

It's funny the little traditions we have with regards to our weed one grower I used to know rip had a wee poodle was his wife's dog meant to be but it liked him better so in the divorce he gets the dog lol anyway that little dog was his tester every grow he would give the dog a raw bud if the dog ate it it was good if it spat it out it wasn't good enough that always cracked me up cos the dog was actually bang on in judging it obviously it didn't get high from eating a tiny bit undecarbed

Yes, they eat their own poop, its normal. And no, the poop is nothing like ours. (looks and feels just like cocoa puffs) We feed out rabbit Spring mix, Cilantro and Kale, twice daily along with timothy hay for snacks in between meals...

Our Rabbit is litter trained and roams freely in our home... Yep, they use a litter box just like a cat does with a lot less mess... They love a good petting and purr when you pet them. They are very sweet animals.

My ingredient is Aloe Ferox, the African family of Aloe Vera.

Aloe Ferox has been scientifically proven to contain double the amino acids and twenty times more antioxidants than Aloe Vera.

I take 1 large Aloe Vera Leaf (Fresh off tree) and 2 smaller Aloe Ferox Leaves (Fresh off tree) and blend all in a 1 Ltr blender, then I add the pulp to 5ltr watering can and each 200Ltr grow bag gets 1 can once a week. The Girls start praying about 10 minutes after watering with this concoction.


ALOE FEROX
  • 28% higher in Aloin
  • 36% higher in Amino Acids
  • 20 times more Bitter Sap, which is where the healing properties, anti-oxidant and viral stimulate.
ALOE VERA
  • Lower Aloin content
  • Lower Amino Acids content
  • Less Bitter Sap

I don't have a secret ingredient but once I made a really nice soil and used a special clay. I was doing archaeology on a VA slave cabin and dug out a period outhouse hole. I used the Fossilized poop in my soil mix. That whole place and my look back in time was bad kharma.
