2016 Down by the Bay
Here goes 2016! And no, we're not down by the San Fran bay... we're just off of a Bay on Lake Michigan in 'da woods, eh?
Figured since dirt started showing up, my new thread should too. Most my amendments are here, containers on order, two more greenhouses, a pole barn, and almost 1/3rd mile of 8' deer/orchard fence. Excavator was hired for removing about 500-1000 yards of dirt in our way and the bulldozer will grade it all off nice and pretty like, we dropped a tree that'll cast a shadow till noon (I was sad to cut it up).  Klasman Peat showed up for $18/bale, can't get promix for that and it's a high quality peat! The rest of the amendments are there in a pile too. Turns out, the new green needs some rear weight to handle 2600lb loader lifts  My amendment list this year includes...(250 gallon pots with 100 gallons of last year's Roots Organic mix for bottom of my holes fill) So 150 gallons of "new" dirt this year per hole. I picked 250's cause at 55" diameter one sheet of remesh should wrap right around it perfectly. 13 pallets of peat (25/pallet, 4cu ft bags) 120 50lb bags of worm castings 16 7cu ft bundles of rice hulls Feather Meal Bone Meal (LOTS!) Blood Meal AlfAlfa Meal Crab Shell Meal Oyster Shells Humic BioChar Composted Manure Harmony (chicken shit fertilizer) Greensand Bat guano Gypsum Lime Azomite Potassium KmS soluble Kelp Brown phosphate Boron Strains include: (Reg Seeds) Swamp Boys First 48 DNA Strawberry Fields DNA Clementine Barney's Farm Blue Cheese Barney's Farm Cookies Kush Bodhi Jabba's Stash Bodhi Love Triangle (Fems) Dinafem Blue Widow Dinafem Critical + 2.0 Dinafem Critical Impact Dinafem Bubba Kush Elemental Honey Bananas Elemental Berry Bomb EVA Seeds Jamaican Dream HSO Blue Dream HSO Blueberry Headband HSO Amherst Sour Diesel HSO Desert Diesel HSO Saphire OG Reserve Privada Skywalker Kush We'll be an organic grow: using tea's, bokashi, top dressings, etc. We're also getting a well this year! No more hauling water for me! On top of all this, we're adding 24 fruit trees, 100 fruit bushes, and we got a plastic mulch layer to keep the garden free of weeds! I'm a one-man sho, this year I'll have a few hired guys for construction but the grow is all me. So, STAY TUNED! Lots to come! Last edited by sho; 04-27-2016 at 10:16 PM.. |

Nice job sho, so 4 greenhouses this season? How do you like the deere? How much did you scoop that thing up for? If you throw that mulches or box scraper on the back should add some nice rear weight

FarmTek told me to just pound the posts in my clay!
It'll be two houses but it took 4 "kits" to get to my desired length/two sep. blogs. So ultimately two 168'x35 hoops. Next year we'll add interior truss support and ridge vents, fans, and probably concrete. Following year well replace plastic with double wall poly ($30k investment!!!) and eventually black 'em out. So far, love it! Way better than breaking a pallet of 16-25 bales or 50 50lb bags to haul em by hand and move them 3-4 times! Brush stacking garbage picking never been easier. Got more land cleared and hauled out, ran the dozer for the excavator today for a few minutes. He's disappearing my old rock pile and pole building starts tomorrow. Gonna shuffle a few more loads of dirt (picking my kid up right now) but I'm about done for the day. The mower has served as plenty of ballast today, it's about 700# Oh and yes, legal 72 plant grow in Michigan well posted and this year will have a PTSD/anxiety warning signs for two of my patients who would be overly sensitive to any sort of "presence" |
