Growing and going full tilt No Till

Paracelsus said:
City water through a R/O filter. I haven’t sourced the actual one I want yet, it has to be one that doesn’t have impeded Flow yet doesn’t create a lot of waste since I’m going to be recycling it in a community garden a few blocks away and up the hill. I believe the Herbin farmer is using water straight out of the tap after he lets it sit now.

If you’re looking for an R/O that doesn’t impede water flow and is truly low waste, you’re looking at a $15,000 industrial R/O filtration system. Anything underneath your sink or under a thousand dollars flows so slowly you’ll have frustrations during watering time. Anyway, if you’re doing no till organic soil there’s really no need for R/O water. R/O water is usually used when mixing nutrient solutions because it has a ppm of 0. This makes it a perfect base to build the EXACT nutrient solution you need. (Primarily used in Hydroponic gardening). Now, you can hurt your microbiology watering with chlorinated tap water and we all know how important every single organism in an organic soil is to its biological makeup. So what I’d suggest is a higher flow bud booster water filter. It’s designed to remove fluoride, chloramine, chlorine, and the carcinogenic byproducts of these. It will also remove herbicides and pesticides.
by using a unique combination of treatments that include activated alumina for fluoride and arsenic reduction, high purity KDF, potent catalytic carbon, and finally a 1 micron coconut carbon block filter. They’re absolutely awesome and they don’t require as much ph balance to find your sweet spot. I’d say better than R/O for an organic soil grow... just my 2 cents:)

Aloha!

I found a straight R/O filter without the pressure of a storage tank which seems to be the component element that constricts the flow of water pressure. Surprisingly enough it is made by the Grow Boss Dude. ( A Man who’s style I despise but who’s knowledge I respect )

I found out since that my municipality does not use chloramines, I’ve had my water tested, it has zero lead. I’m using an 80 gallon barrel to store water and let the chlorine and fluorides evaporate.

Still much thanks for the information and I will take a closer look at the filter. Your water can’t be clean enough IMO

I'm definitely loving the community garden Paracelsus, I know what you mean about not much time if my wife didn't have the farmers market today I would already be gone but she will get up in 3 minutes so thats it for today lol
 
I’m loving it, If real life didn’t get in the way I would be in paradise. Nothing is so important you can’t wait a day right? I’m sitting here with the birds singing to the left of me and if real life didn’t get in the way I would be in paradise. Nothing is so important you can’t wait a day right? I’m sitting here with the birds singing to the left of me and construction tractors and bulldozers behind me. Eight life grand construction tractors and bulldozers behind me. Ain’t life grand!
 
I have taken to calling the things that involve birds singing and stuff, the REAL life, and all the rest of it, fake life. It's the junk that gets in the way of us full filling our true life purposes, got ta get back to the actual real life sometimes, so we don't forget why we're hear!! :)
 
wow I'm loving it Paracelsus I wish I still had the ability to get that all done but alas I can only be working for about half the day then pain overtakes me ,but hey we do what we can right ,You motivate me to do more though thanks
 
oldjarhead100 I am volunteering in the all city nursery once a week, the Bee Fellowship about the same. I’ve joined a new garden with a once a week commitment that I am in love with. Then everyday I am in Genesis Garden at home. Yesterday we built hugglekulture beds from 1000 lbs. of cabbage

This is the last kinky standing out of eight broken mainline branches that I tried to root. I am prepared now to say Bride Of Kinky lives!

Second picture is a Hugglekulture bed we made for the Genisis Garden to keep rain water runoff from the parking lot out of the garden.

come on kinky grow grow grow lol , I have one section of my garden set up with soaker hoses ,still have to do the second part so way behind the plants are in but no cardboard soaker hose and mulch hay. are you trying to block runoff water because it washes stuff away or is it harmful? I ask because I collect the rain from my drive way into those 200 gallon containers then water my garden with it . If I could I would do all that too sounds like a blast ,Now it seems my Garden is a full time job ,still a fun job but all I can manage so I will have to garden precariously though yours lol
 
Parking lots are worse off than a driveway. Potential for multiple vehicles leaking oil, transmission fluid, coolant, etc...
I'm guessing by comparison your driveway is clean.
 
Yes a full time job oldjarhead100 We are building the Hugglekulture mounds to prevent/divertthe parking lot run off. I use mushrooms like a Cannary in a coal mine along the border and the runoff turns them grey.
Right now our focus in the garden is bio remediation
