Covering your tracks?

I was just interested in the different ways people discard of their roots, stalks, mash and all that extra freaking medium you have to find a place to dump it after your done. Im sure you guys have came up with some pretty creative ideas over the years. Just wondering! I usually try to tend to burn as much as possible.

I put most of the veg stuff in the garbage disposal, and I take the used medium/rootball and bury it under the deck in the back of my house.

I was thinking I could start a new garden outside and just till and compost the stuff in over the next few years

The odor is the only thing I would worry about. When I buried the medium/rootballs of the plants I had that turned out to be males, I noticed the odor was pretty strong even after I had got rid of the veg stuff in the disposal. I didn't know that even the soil and roots had an odor to them. lol

Have small bck hoe. I just bury it about 6 ft..............live out in country....I own the land.

That's awesome Pony.... If I had some land like that I would have some nice grows in the summer.

I actually loaded a lot of mine into the car and drove around town dumping them in misc dumpsters in various apt blds and behind a bunch of stores

I spread it around my outside plants and beds. Perfect for protecting bulbs and sleeping plants during winter. Plus the nutes in the soil help the plants stay healthy. The stalks and leaves I compost. I mix it up well with other leaves and plant matter. Makes my vegetable garden very happy.

i throw it in my yard and run it over with the mower. by the time ur dont mowing ur yard u cant tell there was ever the holy plant there

My only prob is the smell, i gotta get a carbon filter+fan.. for the plants in veg i usually rip em up and walk em to a dumpster, the soil i re-use and the rootball i just throw outside in the backyard. but the smell is a big issue..

I usually turn my Fox Farms bags inside out as well as any other well marked plastic bags and put them in the trash. As for vegetation, if it is winter I save it in paper bags and keep crushing it as it dries and in the spring I till it into the soil in my back yard. In the spring and summer I have a small compost pile out back. I like the artwork on Fox Farms products but they kinda scream "I GROW POT"!

Burn that shit!

FYI rockwool does not burn. Thats why i went to DWC, nothing to get rid of but water.

good idea with the bags, i would hate ppl to start noticin how much soil i use, when my front yard looks like shit especially in the winter.

Compost that shit you by back yard compost barrles really cheap mix your compsot with your old meduim you could have a nice herb of flower garden in front of you crib your neibors would love u and shit

I've just been throwing the rootball under the deck and crushing the greens, but i like the idea of building up the soil in my flower garden...Hmmm...

Sorry for the noob question, but is the rootball too tough to run through the garbage disposal? I'm on my first grow and figured I'd run all of the harvest leftovers through the disposal. I only have two plants and they're both pretty small autos.

I don't think the rootball itself would hurt the disposal, but I would be careful not to get alot of soil down there. That might cause problems.

I didn't think about the soil getting in there. What if I rinsed it off real good with the hose in the back yard first? I'd freeze my butt off out there but it'd be worth it to not have to deal with the smell. I live in a subdivision and all of the houses are real close to each other. I have a privacy fence in the back yard so they wouldn't see me rinse the rootball off, but they'd surly smell it if I left it in the back yard.

put them in a garbage bag and tie a brick to it, then dump it in the nearest body of water. make sure you wipe the kill room for prints
