There's a sticky in this Organics Forum that has a lot of info on mycorrhizal fungi (MF). I recommend that you take a look at it. Spores are available that can be added to soil mix but I believe that MF will form as long as you don't add excessive synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, add a...

From what the nurseries say, it's best to release the lady bugs at night when they are not actively flying around. Over night they will settle on your plants and make it their home if there's enough food. Actually, I've noticed they won't be willing to stay unless there is a decent amount of...

Oh man, I was seriously thinking of raising rabbits until we found out my girlfriend is severely allergic. I really liked the idea seeing as how I could grow a lot of Timothy Hay or other fodders for their food and use all the poo for composting. A sustainable cycle of nutrients. Guess it'll...

Compost! Compost! Compost! Compost!........

There are ways to make a rich, balanced compost without the use of manures. Like Rising Moon said earlier, deep rooted crops such as alfalfa or comfrey literally mine up nutrients from deeper soil levels and provide a variety of nutrients. And because their growth habits (comfrey is like a weed...

More introverts should watch that video. It makes me feel better about not talking non-stop at parties, staying at home sometimes, avoiding larger public gatherings, etc. And I think it's very true when he said that introverts tend to be viewed as "bad". I remember in school, people used to say...

It'll be 2014 before any stores actually open up. MMJ is unchanged here in WA, as far as I know, so I'm still good to grow legally. Never really messed with the dispensaries anyway so, I'm happy. I do feel bad for those who are not growing it themselves though. More reason to designate a grower...

I feed my cat a raw diet and I couldn't be happier with the results. He's got a good shape, healthy energy, and his poop has little to no smell. We wish we could do the same for our dog but currently we do not have the freezer space or money to keep up on feeding a German Shepard puppy. We do...

Clover (Trifolium repens, Trifolium pratense, and otehrs) grows like a weed here. Same with comfrey (which I collect for compost already). Hey Personified, what diet do you feed your rabbits? That's something else I'm interested in. I know a lot of dog trainers that feed their dogs rabbit and...

These are my buddies. Steve French, the cat, kills all sorts of bugs and vermin. The black German Shepard, Ryu, is our newest addition to the family. He's 7 months old now, 5 in the picture, and will be a great Schutzund dog one day after a few years of training. The hound on the right is my...

Hey all! Was wondering if anyone out there has tried using clover, or some other ground cover, as sort of a living mulch around their cannabis plants? I've been learning a lot from the people at the farm I intern for and it sounds like it'd be a great benefit to the cannabis. I have an idea of...

Our sessions are usually before bed. We both work 9-5 and after chores at home, we're both down to fizuuuck real hard. She likes getting baked before sex, as do I, and that's usually our routine. Get baked when everything's done for the day and enjoy what comes to mind. Last night was real...

When will we know if it's been approved or not? Personally, I'd rather wait for a better one to come along.

Has anyone ever tried using a dehumidifier in their greenhouse (if you grow in a gh) to prevent mold? I was thinking about using one this year.

I don't like buying too much stuff for my grows so I really only use compost tea and garden soil that's mixed with compost. I could probably use more soil amendments but so far, I've been able to produce enough each season to last me till the next season's harvest on what I'm doing now. I have...

It has taken a little planning to set up a composting system to supply me with enough goods each year and I've had to experiment the past few seasons with soil mixes but it's all been worth it.

I don't know about anyone else but the reason why I started off organic wasn't so much because of the typical organic benefits (which I learned later on) but because of how cheap (and usually pretty easy) it can be. Soil? Great soil available out in the veggie garden and can be supplemented with...

Hey Rollitup.org! I've been reading threads about growing on this site for so long that I thought I'd make an account. Thanks to all the experienced growers who share their know how on the forums.
