So, i was thinking it would be beneficial, nay intriguing to start some post on all the little tips and tricks that people use when growing Mary.
Like, for instance, organic ideas including but not limited to:
Eggshells- heard provide Calcium and Potassium
Coffee Grounds- lain on top of soil and watered through provide... Nitrogen (?)
Milk- something or another that your plants like small amounts of MILK?! mixed through soil (crazy.... right?)
Urine- 1 part per like 10... or 20... or 100 because I don't like pissing on my smoke, it just doesn't seem logical, but i've heard otherwise.
Manure- of course everyone knows about animal droppings... it goes back to when the Indians saved our villager asses back at Plymouth Rock. Nitrogen right?
...which leads to
Fish- or fish meal, which is supposed to contribute phosphorus. Bury it under your "corn", dance around with a tomahawk and feathers in your hair, and pray to the rain god for a good harvest.
Now, I won't dispute it, because i know others will. Organics and "Chemical" or Artificial growing, whichever. Who's to say which is better... I've heard organics is "safer, and your end product is better, and tastes as natural as the method you grew it with."
But then synthetic fertilizers, logically, work better and more efficient then organics... they mass produced and engineered for one purpose.
But i know that I, myself, am an experimental type of person. Sure i could use fert's bought at your local hydro or gardening shop, use those, turn out just fine... wouldn't complain either.
But there's a certain satisfaction to be gained in thinking, "Not only did i just make an omelet with those eggs, drank a class of milk, then made coffee for my trip to work later, I also grew a baddass plant with them."
So I think everyone should share their expertise, their hard learned knowledge of obscure and wild techniques that they've learned from trial and error, or by ear, and used to a positive effect.
Because, in the end, there's only one goal, but so many ways to get there!
