First of all thanks. I do not need to add aeration since farm manure is loaded with hay. Give the best drainage I've had in any soil and it is light and fluffy....plus it's loaded with worms.Looks like an awesome setup! Can you tell us more about your medium? Did you mix in any aeration? Did you mix in your fertilizers or are you top-dressing?
Thanks for the details! Sounds like a beautifully simple way to do things.First of all thanks. I do not need to add aeration since farm manure is loaded with hay. Give the best drainage I've had in any soil and it is light and fluffy....plus it's loaded with worms.
for every 100 gallons I put in a box I would dump 1/4 of what I needed for nutes and then worked it into the soil.
The only thing I do differently is with the bulb food. That I always sprinkle right under the root ball...then I make holes around the plant and fill up the holes with the bulb food to make feeding spikes.
I also sprinkled Epsom salts at the 3/4 mark all around the box and mixed that in.
Things are looking awesome in your neck of the woods !!I have to work today but have the next 3 days off after that to finish up. Still have to build the trellis net so I can scrog these girls. It will help support the plant and give me a bigger yield View attachment 4139243

Me and my veg buddy have been studying the county soil maps. We are looking for where the clay and the sand meet. You find that line, then punch some holes. The holes will be a mix of sand and clay. You pass up the sand and you can find some good topsoil on the edge of the clay. After a while, you get to where you can tell what is going on in the soil by what kinds of trees and bushes are growing. And more important, you learn how the water table is laid out.u no clay is loaded with all kinds of goodies, do the roots have access to the ground?
Oh yeah they do. And I know they are and in the past grew in the ground. But it's solid clay and it makes my soil soupy when it rains.u no clay is loaded with all kinds of goodies, do the roots have access to the ground?
