I'm not sure about alfalfa for a cover, but it's probably better than hay. I use alfalfa meal as an organic soil amendment. Yours will break down much more slowly, but that's probably what you are poking for in a mulch. The pipe protector is a fine idea, just bulky. Keep up the good work.

That's an awesome not till raised bed! Nice work so far. I used rabbit food hay for mulch. Lol anything to keep the moisture in on hot days. After this grow, throw down some compost over the cover crop and mulch and start it all again next year! Keep this thread updated, I'll follow along. I grow LST indoor, and your on the right track.

Have you topped yet? That will kick off the side branch growth. Then just keep weaving them through your cages.

20190804_142738.jpg 20190804_142759.jpg Explosive growth the last couple weeks. There's something in this rainwater from the afternoon monsoon showers that these girls love. All showing signs of starting to flower, one is lightyears ahead of the rest.
