WAAAHEY!

NOW I'M EXCITED! Are you excited? Can you feel the vibes, the love in this soil!

That's 3 direct witnesses that TP makes worms go off the charts. And worms, as we know, are VERY good for your garden. I've got more species of worms here too since using TP.

And that's 2 of us who noticeably use less ferts.

In my outdoor garden, it's time to plant finally. BUT....

I've already got 20 varieties of food growing out there. Two foot toms, pepino melons, potatoes I've remounded twice already...

This is the result of igneous rock dust/terra preta mix. (the dust from all my scoria aqua beds). The dust raises sap content in plants so they don't freeze.

I'm sure smurf will be able to amaze us with his off season abilities using this combo he's already blown me away with his conventional work.

Terra Preta rocks!

Jay - cat vomit is not so wierd, I also charred some cat shit, because I can.... I see the humanure leftovers (use them for biodigestion and growing algae for fuel first) in our future being used for TP. I'm just stepping ahead of the game as usual (game being science, bless them, ever so slow to twig to so many things).

Seal piss? You must know another lunatic.

Sprout juice, i'll claim it, toss it in your waterings, GOOD.

Thaiphoon - those are the very picture of health, beautiful plants thanks for sharing.

hehe i think you are the lunatic haha. quoted from the lacto B thread. but it was sea loins not seals.

Got interview with zookeepers shortly - Can I remove the smell from the sea lions? We'll find out!

oh yea just to keep on track......

all bow down to terra preta!! lol

[MrFista]

Lunatic? - only takes two signatures to get stamped a lunatic, yet my 2000 signature petition to ban womens tops was ignored by every government department I sent it to.

Ahh, the smell removal. I thought you were saying I was using it (sea lion piss) for something, didn't connect haha!

Anyways, so's I'm sitting here with me trusty vaporiser, and I'm thinking about Terra Preta and I tip the remains of a bowl into my bag of... brown/black char remains...

Now, this stuff is charred with air, but at even lower temperatures hence no ignition at all. My vape runs at 360 - 390 (temp things crazy touchy).
TP char is said to be ideal around 400 - 450 accordingly, but without air...

The remains of vape is all sleepyness if you bake it. Im fairly new to vaping not sure what they do with it. Maybe it'll work as char, recycling the buds back into the grow as well as composting the cabbage hehe.

Is it efficient? Or a waste of some psychoactive by product. I must investigate vape remains...

Wanna sign a petition?

vape bud edibles are not always sleepy type highs. the most psychedelic high i have ever had from an edible came from edibles made with vape bud.

i got a good source of char now, so its on like donkey kong.

how is everyone smashing there char up? i been soaking the char in water for a sec. then into a bucket. then in goes a 2x4 for some smashing.

[MrFista]

2x4 is definately better for larger chunks but a steel spade is very handy it smashes the big stuff up so it's manageable with a 2x4. . I've mortar and pestled finer stuff, especially the citrus skin and eggshell char as they need to be spread a lot thinner and were designed as custom flower char not general garden...

Where'd you find the char??? Industry?

I can't believe we are not seeing pyrolisation plants everywhere, madness.

Hey guys thanks for keeping this thread alive

I have been planning this years outdoor grow and will reuse my TP mx from last season. I have got some bones and terracotta pots sitting in a large stainless steel pot ready to be smashed up and added to the mix. I reckon a coco and TP mix will be the way to go.

I have also noticed more worm activity in my pots... most of them have some charcoal as i was chucking it in my compost heap and mixing it up.

Happy gardening!

Just found this site with heaps of good links

This is especially good, a simple to make at home charcoal kiln:

i thought i replied to your post long time ago Fista. oh i remember now computer fucked up and lost my post hehe. oh well.

the biggest chunks i have are about twice as big as my hand. so not very large or hard to break up with a sturdy smash. a strong bottom( i use a cement block about 1x2' and a 2x4 with one slam it breaks it up into about 10 or more little pieces and then into more and so on. i find adding a little water to the bucket helps as well as a fan blowing the air/dust away from me. i took out 10 lbs in a hour and a half. i cant think of a better way for small scale. on a larger field needed scale it could be done faster i think with some sort of machine.

i got the char from someone local who makes it away from fire danger territory, better than the other places ive seen and i like the different sources of wood used for diversity.

good stuff SS_OG

Awesome! So sticky this thread already too many people bypassing what is, to me, a magic bullet for soil.

I got plants growing WAY faster than their neighbours just by having char in the general vicinity. I can put a wee patch down plant around it and all plants surrounding it do better.

Only soil I can compare this to is coco, so far as growth goes. A coco/TP mix would be interesting indeed.

I'm finding even a dusting of TP is sufficient to improve soil and it's biology. Of course, I'd prefer more. As we add our wee bits, and knowing it doesn't break down (in several hundred years anyway) we slowly raise the char content, and I guess slowly is good, and more likely aligns with ancient methods than dumping a shitload on at once.
