i wouldn't use topsoil myself. i used to do that when younger and first trying this sport. most topsoil will turn to mud when it is 2'-3' deep after a good rain. plus it compacts real quick and doesn't get enough air to the roots. i am not sure what vermicompost is? is it like vermiculite? if so...

animals are attracted to the fish emulsions but generally they do not stay interested long. what i have done in the past is start puttung emusions, guanos, blood meal that sort of thing out in my plots a month or so before i plant. the animalls (racoons love doing this) will dig around looking...

i love using the soil they refer to as soiless mix, sunshine mix and promix. they both come in 3.8 cu ft compressed bags and have a decent ph. they contain virtually no nutrients so it is easy to give the plants what they want. it is wonderful stuff especially after you add some good compost and...

mean grean- there are many types of slow release ferts available. in fact the vast majority of them are. the osmocote chingsbuddy is talking about is a slow release in granular form. but there are many organic choices as well. blood meal, blood meal, guanos, compost just to name a few. every...

and the deeper the hole the better i have always found. deep holes = huge root mass= huge plants. plus deep roots find the water.

smang- neem oil is not a fertillizer for foliar feeding. it is a natural bug repellent, the oil from the neem plant. it is the way to spread it it by foliar but it doesn't give any nutrients in any way.

water ploymers will cut the need for water up to half. they are an super water absorbing polymers that sucks manytimes it's weight in water and slowly releases it back into the soil. they are supposed to be completly safe for even veggies. i know my mom loves them for container gardening they...

and like guerrila farmer says raised beds work well. do a search on me and you can see some pics of beds i have made and used to great effect in the past.

i use some areas that when i dig in spriong they are full of water. by late spring the water table is down well enough that planting is achievable. by the time the rootsfind there way down they have a pretty moist area for most of the summer. areas like this work well and require almost no...

give us some info on your growing dates. ie when your last and first frost is. the type of climate -dry, humid, ect. and whether you will be starting them indoors for a head start and we can help with advice a little better.

ekofux sorry to hear that. herion and meth has taken it's toll on my community as well. good friends became theives good looking girls lost their teeth. many in jail or prison, and some of my best friends growing up died way before their time. it's sad beyond all measure, i wish that upon...

extra watering along with some liquis ferts makes a big differance where i live. when you don't get rain in ten days and it is hot watering them will make them grow double. easily.

but in the end when things are glistening... it's all worth it!

yes that will help considerably. get the tops as close as possible without them getting to hot. make sure to keep them under 24 hours light and if that is not possible do at least 18 hours daily with same schedule for when they turn on and off. but 24 is best.

this year i'm hiring a few mexicans :) lol jk. but for real i'm not getting any younger and the hauling dirt is starting to take it's toll. the reason i keep it going is when you see those plants full of buds in the sun...nothing on earth can compare in beauty. well maybe that spot on a woman...

have bought them from greenthumb myself. for three years now, this summer will be my third year with iranians. my first year growing them i journalled on here. i believe i was the first to journal them as they were given to me before he started to sell them he was giving them away to test. that...

deeper roots find water better also. something to keep in mind. if you are willing to do the work and dig big holes you will be rewarded, nothing sucks more than digging big holes when it's cold and shitty out but just get it done and in fall it will be worth all that mud and slipping and...

42 north here also in ny. i grew the grimms originol cindy 99 and it was done before oct with great plants full of mind blowing buds. people called it mostly sativa me being no expert just knew it was one special plant. since then i have seen a few guys near me grow what they purchased as cindy...

mountaingarden thats what they do in my town. and it still smells like shit. they give it away if you can haul it there is no way i would even put it on my perennials much less veggies and ganja.
