Getting Started In 2021

 I've got just about every condition known to farming going on this year, proven old school methods along with todays lighting technology.


 Germination has begun, I'm going to start some plants indoors and i've added a half of a 55 gallon barrel to hold water as an addition to the percent's of organic matter that are dedicated to doing the same thing. The fencing is almost complete and it appears we will get an early spring or at least a weakened winter so Feb 1st as an outdoor planting date is right on schedule.


Also, this is not my first rodeo at publishing a season of growth, here is a link to one of my you tube efforts at promoting cannabis and different edibles.

Video Update

 I am not only experimenting with full blown organics, the video side of operations has been questionable at best and so with some improvements I shall upload some old and some new and probably add explanation of  these file at a later date.

Old School Technology or Just Another Lost Art

Image
 I made this title up over a year ago and held off on using it until I knew more what it was about. I know somewhat more now but the questions and research still outweigh the answers right now.  Here is a link to get one started.      https://piedmontmastergardeners.org/article/the-truth-about-compost-tea-making-it-using-it-and-what-to-expect-from-it/                          I began with some gallon jugs which I tried to shake up few times a week. The VT organic farm I visited last year was attempting something to this effect.                                                                                                                         Then I moved on to a 5 gallon jug b/c the need grew.                                                                And this stuff gets tricky, if for some reason (like your working your day job too much), you dont get around to shaking it up in a timely fashion, its not long before an oxygen starved green algae is secretly created to actually

Introduction to a hopeful new year of prosperity

Image
  I've been farming something every year for nearly 4 decades, tried about every method known to mankind, have attempted to reduce the amount of time and effort required to successfully farm, have farmed both the north and south, but not until now have I admitted that chemical farming alone is not only unsustainable, but damaging to the environment and if done long enough, is showing signs of permanent damage. I will leave the damage done and response to it for another day and now focus on the organic side of farming, occasionally adding some chemicals for balance but never enough to wash out of the soil and towards the ocean as industry does today. This topic is also a study as to just how much organic is enough so as to obtain the results desired but not over due the cost or available resources at hand. I prefer to start with a financially stable crop and once positive results are obtained, transfer that data to the remaining crops desired.  Which is why different gardens, differ
