Some look good doing it..others look butt ass ugly.

I sure don't see any "butt ass ugly"..........If it's there, the overall feel of that pic is clearly a thing of beauty.

Were kind of getting off track here, the yellowing was just a minor comment in a thread about local soil. You guys high or something? Scrappy

The One x African from the 70's.........not a South African type as travel into that region was avoided at the time. These were randomly collected African's from around Africa brought back in the 70's and crossed together with eachother here in the states some 20 years ago....then bred with The One.

Very unique smell,unlike anything...when you smell it you know that it's going to take you somewhere most popular common types can't.

Allrighty then,time for another round. Today was soil mixing day. I opted out of the no-till on all the pots this cycle due to the size of the pots. The two biggest no-till pots will remain no-till for a third cycle.

So it was soil mixing day.

To my recycled mix I added the following:
7 lbs N. bat guano
5 lbs fish bone meal
10 lbs kelp meal
2 lbs dried horsetail
1 lb alfalfa meal
1 lb bentonite clay
1 lb redworms
1 lb. oatmeal
Pots will be filled and transplanted in immediately...why am I not cooking the soil?..don't have time. Do I expect any issues?...probably,due to not allowing the soil to "cook". Am I worried?...No,I'll be able to deal with the issues if they arise.

Peace CC1

I've added about,,,? some lbs of clay last cycle,I found a nice natural deposit and incorporated it in the mix. Bentonite has powerful properties in soil mang....I'm being cautious.
