Ranching With Rootwise

[Ganja D]

Nomaad, woke up to snow this morning so looks like tomorrow..

My take: I began farming and followed Steiner's methodology and the Biodynamic calendar for a number of years. After managing 126 acres of fruit trees for 3 years and working on numerous farms from branding cattle to harvesting organic salad greens, to pressing cider full time, I learned probably the most important and valuable lesson there is in farming:

Get your work done in the window you are given, not the window you are waiting for.


I can't tell you how many times we waited around for that darn calendar to tell us the day to do something only to miss the window due to weather, a broken machine, etc....only to be caught thinking,"YEP, could have been done with this a couple days ago." You get the idea. Don't get me wrong bro, I believe in many unseen forces that work with us, it's just that when it comes to what I have experienced, you get shit done when you can. Use those calendars as a guideline but don't let it hold you back...hope that makes sense bro....

I really like you take on things and couldn't agree with you more. Great post!

Your operation truly reflects a person who understands working with the earth. best of luck this year!

Oh, wanted to ask if the greenhouse filters out uv's?

Im running a mini greenhouse this summer in comparison to that monster of a thing.

Cant wait to see how it all grows.

Great work man. Can you talk a little about your veggies and flowers and your methods there? Especially anything you do different between those and your mj. It would be greatly appreciated. My gardening experience is strictly with cannabis and now that my wife and I bought our first home on an acre and a half I am eager to learn about other plants as well. Your gardening skills are impressive and I'm pulling up a chair to follow along this year and try to learn all that I can.
