I walked to my car one morning about 20 feet from my house and loaded some stuff in the back. When I looked up from closing the door to my car, there was a huge cat in the driveway about 30 feet from me looking down the hill. From tip to tail it stretched across the driveway, I just looked at it and backed up to the front door of the house. When I got to the front door, it sat down and turned to look at me then ran away. Weird encounter, I felt very lucky but at the same time scared as fuck, those things are by far the scariest thing around these parts.

Fuck having to deal with mountain lions in your patch! I thought deer eating my garden were bad enough.

i notice that the water usage of growing these beast is very high anyone ever thought about going the extra step and grow the plants using aquaponics? to reuse the water?
Now you know why that idea is just on the paper ...

Actually i don't, it should work very well, my have to alter the soil mix a little though. I don't fancy people that just put down ideas and give no reason, you sir are a jerk. I ask a question, i have been trying to use soil in aquaponics with limited success the soil always stays moist because there is no way to let the container drain right out. i was thinking that soil in a smarty elevated should drain out enough to make aquaponics work, therefore i asked people with smart pot experience for their take on my views.
All you did was to come off like............., you know what?
Can anyone tell me if they think this would/would not work?
1)The Organic's in the soil should not harm the fish.
2)The smart pot will keep the soil out of the water.
Just need to keep the smarty elevated
one problem (i think) is the amount these trees transpire, is it a high percentage of the water your currently feeding (i think its boobs that said about 3 gall a day)or does most of that run off.
I never used a smarty or grow such large trees, i want to grow aquaponic heirloom tomatoes.
^^^^seems to me it would be a pain in the butt havin to get the run off water right to reuse???

lol what a frustration .... Im really sorry for Your stupidness!
We all waited for scientist as you.
Guys in this thread fail a lot and Im thankful in his and my name
cause your effort to show us something very smart.
Strange nobody didnt get idea like that .... you have gorgeous mind sir !
Im just waiting to see how somebody showing us how he innovate hot water.
This is growing large plants outdoors, it means put plant in cow's shit and be happy lol

Well you do raise a valid point Oldrod WHY do this?????? My answer is; what if? 
What if you turn on your tap and only get half the water you needed? that mean you get half the output your looking for, what if the current source water is tainted? then you get no output at all a chemical targeted specifically at MJ that is safe to put into the water supply hasn't been invented but, what if?.
But mostly because i think it is cool.
I love How this Site's members help each other, straight off the bat, ClearBarbedFunk highlighted the biggest obstacle witch i did not even think about. "How get the run off water right to reuse" Is the water run off from these organic soil mixes toxic to fish? I know the recirculating nature of such a system would ultimately require different soil mixes, so stuff you feed heavy into the initial mix due to leaching faster you would have to put less of it now because it cant leach out a closed system, the mix may very well have to be pretty watered down as compared to what is currently used and the top dressing would be reduced significantly or it may work the same way just saving on water.
Sorry if i am wrong about thinking water and nutrent conservation is revelent in this tread, more so than others, i can only imanage if these growers of large trees in huge green houses could get the same growth with half the work, they would be interested. well i am spreading the idea anyways.............

This single statement nullifies any else you say until you redeem your self. Tell me why this is a bad idea.

sounds like a great idea....How are you going to supprt the heavy ass smarties tho? and would the roots dangle from the bottom of the smaarties down into the water?? Out the box thinking like this is where big improvements to modern technology and/or paradigms occur.... again,great idea...my goal is to have a zero runoff aqua ponics setup in a greenhouse using compost piles to heat through the winter.
The system is widely in use in some countries, but mostly for the production of rice.

The biggest problem would be, I think, in ensuring that the root area doesn't stay too wet. Using "swamp-pots" might help to address this issue.

Funny how in your 1st sentence you apologize for "his" stupidness(stupidity dumbass).....when your the uneducated stooge talking trash, whom cant even speak clearly and intelligently(you make no sense in your comments) when degrading someone.
I believe it is your stupidity that we are all in danger of , go back to school and learn something besides how small your brain really is......and if you think getting trees is just planting in cow shit, go for it moron, and sorry all for the rant I just hate stupid people bashing others !!!
Spray that shit up if you have any doubts. Do it in the morning and let them dry on a sunny day. Don't get paranoid. Trust your gut.

dont be dumb, don't get smart, you better be kidding me
Cow shit works for 10000 years, you don't know better. You just buy the company line

I have to pipe in here and point out that while cow manure makes a good compost/soil addition because it adds organic material into the soil it rates among the worst for the nutrients it adds back. All manure is good manure though.

"You just buy the company line "
You have no idea what I use.....I dont ever buy bagged bs for outdoor beauties, I do it the way it is supposed to be done...make it and mix it myself!!!!
So I guess Im just dumb and dont get it,because I dont grow my plants in COW SHIT would you please be my teacher and school me??
