Growing and going full tilt No Till

I finally got some pictures of that new worm bin, and my greenhouse posted, if you want to check it out. I named my thread "Sitting on some Organic Fertilizer, or "my plants have my back"

I think god would see that your plants are good right now. Those leaves look like they are rejoicing.

Genesis 1:12 ESV

Thoughts for a Sunday morning
The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good

Lapping up the morning Sun I’m going to give them there drink a little latter than usual

wild crafted nutrients, natural amendments & mycorrhiza
I also highly recommend the KIS SCIENCE PODCAST’s

That's a really good thread, thank you for posting it!!
I've been learning to garden organically since I was a little kid, and it has always struck a cord with me, now the more I learn about it later in life, and now that I grow Cannabis, the more it all is making sense to me, especially with the no till concept.
It's really about changing the way we see the universe and the world we live in, people have been looking at living things, as singular, when they really are all more of a composite organism, a community, kind of like lichen, for instance, interdependent. Trees don't become trees without symbiotic Fungi, and earth worms can't digest there food without the bacteria in there gut. The whole thing works beautifully when it is in balance with all its parts intact, and can work the way it was designed to.
Cool stuff, keep posting!

I saw a really good IPM/ organic technique I want to try, while looking through Jorge Cervantes Youtube channel. He brewed up a big batch of compost tea with beneficial microbes added to it, and just sprayed the shit out of all his plants, especially under the leaves. Said it acts like a barrier of good life forms, that help prevent pests. Mold, disease, insects, have a much harder time taking a foothold when your leaves and soil are already loaded with the good stuff.
I have read about mushroom growers doing the same thing, once the medium is colonised by the fungi strain you want, there just isn't room for the undesirable molds and such, idea seems to make a lot of sense, so I want to give her a try, I already have the vermicompost tea, thanks to inspiration from this thread Paracelsus!

What is Humis ?
Here's a pretty good synopsis, I think:
ORGANIC MATTER, HUMUS, HUMATE, HUMIC ACID, FULVIC ACID AND HUMIN: THEIR IMPORTANCE IN SOIL FERTILITY AND PLANT HEALTH

Integrated Pest Management IPM. Using folier sprays and amendments ie Neem oil, herbs ie mint family or even beneficial bacteria, fungi, etc. and other things like worms, lady bugs. Your new tea brewer will be great for creating these witches brews.

[Paracelsus]

That concerns me oldjarhead100. Most of the designs and I’ve looked at many different ones are designed to be broken down for cleaning of all organic matter to prevent it from going anaerobic and contaiminating your brew. The easier it is to take apart and put together again the better the design.
For example this commercially available Posiden AACT Brewer. https://youtu.be/zWS2zBtKu8Q

hey Paracelsus would you do me a favor would you go outside and take a picture of nice weather it freaking snowed again last night lol .
when the top dressing breaks down it doesn't get hot does it ? IPM ??? it took me forever to figure out what IDK meant lol

[oldjarhead100]

I did glue it all together but the brown pipe is from my Garden outside I ran out of new pipe so I grabbed one of my solar light stands the cleaner was purple and the glue blue and that shit dont come off I used turpentine and borax figured the borax is like 80 grit sand paper lol
