well said.

Great thread btw. Love it.

Bio - that pic from mother earth looks cool, but I see alot of work making those tunnels and I've seen really good setups that just divide one fenced double garden size rectangle into 2 with the coop in the middle, so that every other year side 1 is garden, side 2 is chicken run and vice versa. I'm down to watch if you go for that style tho!

not hard at all to find tobaky seeds... this should help

lol,i wish i had never seen the chicken tunnels...in my mind they have turned into chicken extreme obstacle course...little tunnels everywhere,sort of like a habitrail for chickens....

They fly off the shelves but Portland Nursery usually has seedlings during this time of the year - planting season. There's usually 3 or 4 strains to choose from if that's important.

Unclefish-Yes I thought of that too. Also thought of it being an obstacle course for me as well. But I think a tunnel system around the perimeter of the garden like in the illustration would be more practical. I do a couple bong rips and all these fanciful impractical ideas get day dreamed upon, but few are actualized.
What will more likely be going down is chickens in a portable cage on the ground in the garden getting moved to strategic places.

schwagg- Thank you for posting the link to the tobacco seed site.

Clack- Thanks for posting about access to tobacco at Portland Nursery. If it flies off the shelves there it should do the same here as well.

Ive never used tobacco as an insecticide but understand it is an excellent way to repel them.

thanks for the horsetail recipe, CC. I added 7 cups of dried horsetail and 2 cups alfalfa meal in one raised bed, as a study on it. the rest(except other study planters) had 7c alfalfa meal.(in addition to the other stuff). seeing if the horsetails can be substituted, as we have a ton
but no nettles this year, only in another part of (coastal) douglas county where we used to live...there they were everywhere. here, not so much.
Bio, i have heard that a copper product can prevent botrytis mold from effecting cannabis and strawberries, etc.

and madrone trees, beautiful and majestic

Sorry to here no nettles in your immediate area. They like it damp. They grow in most any kind of soils. But mostly they like it wet. Areas that I have found them is seeps, close to streams, bogs and wet openings in the woods. (hope im not sounding like a know it all, just trying to be helpful). Biggest patch to date is a local one here and it has to be an acre if it wasn't 5. Yerba buena! love it and its a flavor that I grew up with. Have not had any in quite some time and would love to trade some of my nettle tea for your yerba buena tea.

****************************** ****************************** **

Now, it took me a whole 15 minutes to physicaly make this tea. Plus the 1-2 weeks its gotta' ferment. Ive got five gallons which the directions says to dilute it to 5% H2O thats 20:1 suggested by the author for a foliar spray. So each quart makes 5 gallons of spray. So that is enough to make one hundred gallons of spray. Enough to last all summer with enough to bottle up and put a colorful label on it, call it something catchy like BIOS BIONIC BUD BUILDER.

Seriously now the author claimed it is an open market and literally NO ONE is making this stuff (as of printing). Now who wants to get a permit to harvest this stuff and market it. An acre must be enough to make a thousand gallons of 'concentrate' (easy). 1000 gallons at 20$ a quart is 80,000$. Unfortunately we are in the United States so when we get done paying for gas............... we will be broke.

Thanks for joining me for yet another manic episode of we grow gardens too!

Has anyone done a nettle tea thread? LOL

My veggies all mulched and plugged.

I love seeds and all your ganga looks like seed plants. Are the tomatoes from seed as well? What varieties of ganga?

[OrganicBuds]

All the ganja is seed grown. Seed plants have so much vigor, and are less likely to early flower this time of year. The tomatoes are grown from seed, except the closest in the picture, that tomato was grafted. I grow most plants from seed, much cheaper that way. Also, I enjoy saving seeds from harvests of previous years. Kind of a mark of a true farmer.

The ganja varieties are as follows:

GanjaRebelSeeds:
Blue Dream x 5g's
Double Og Sour
og x chem bx
og x chem keeper f2's
5g's red
5gs yellow

Clone only:
Blue Dream

Og Raskel:
White fire alien

BOG:
Grape Punch

This grow I am running mostly GanjaRebelSeed varieties. GanjaRebel can grow some amazing outdoor plants, so I thought I would try some of the secret sauce, .
