Back-yard dirt

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but what if I planted the weed in manure? Nothing else, just manure. I could easily get buckets of the stuff (neighbours got a dozen cows out the back) but would it do?

Is it possible to turn back-yard dirt into a fine soil?

LOL. This is the one instance where we in third world countries have an advantage. Given the abundance of fertile and clean soil (not to mention the corrupt police enforcement) allowing some of the best bud in the world thrive.

Plant a few Desmanthus illinoensis seeds. Just dig up the whole plant and take dirt from the root system! Of course I would recommend sterilizing the dirt before you use it.

Isnt that what the make auhuaska out of?...(I know that I spelled that wrong)

Like a few said "watch out for chemicals and old shit in the soil" Thats it. Other then the horrible things found in the ground, soil is soil. Some is clay , some is loam , some is blah blah. Mix it like a company would make their bags and use it. (plenty of perlite , organic matter, ewc, compost ect....)
Besides the bad shit in the ground we would need a lab to test for , the rest is almost seeable/smellable. The better area you get it from the more diverse the soil food web will be also. "ALMOST" every bug in the garden is good. The more life the better. If you see 4 species of bugs or more when digging one singel hole , then your into black gold. PLUS if you see 4-10 species of bugs in the soil then there is a very good chance there is no chems or junk in the soil.
