I've had a garden since I was a kid. I love doing it. I grow my own weed too. every year I keep adding more boxes to grow more stuff.
I'm usually able to grow enough produce to last me all year.
this year I have a bunch of tomatoes and peppers, cucumbers for pickles, squash and zukini, a bunch of kinds of lettuce and herbs.
my beans and peas I planted never came up this year.
you should try canning. it's a great way to keep everything without refrigeration.

honestly if you don't have at least 2 months of shelf stable food at all times in your house, YNGMI if anything bad happens.
it doesn't even have to be a STF scenario to end up getting fucked by not having enough supplies. even a big storm or other natural disaster can cut supply lines for weeks.
I have tons of food, I just need more clean drinking water storage. I don't have enough to last very long.

similar sized container garden. Been doing melons this year, Fresh canteloupe every 3ish days, honey dew, ....summers been good.
What many people don't get is that the larger the container, the easier it is. I got 60 gallon "cloth bags" on the balcony, I put 25 gallon tin cylinders on these bags (think waste baskets, just different more like a cattle trough), Then put 5-10 gallon ceramics on top of the cylinders. Let's you move the fragile stuff inside, The roots will go down from pot to cylinder to bag. Vertical is great (only 8ish hours of direct sun at my place). And the mass itself stops thermal shock. Go Big, Grow big. Took a 1/4" and a 1/8" screen to local creek, shifted out about 50% of the base material needed, use spagnum moss, shreddded wood chips, compost, a touch of agricultural lime to fill it out, expanded clay balls and some perlite to lighten the total mix. When I repot, I rescreen the material back to 1/4" to 1/8". That size of medium and mix basically means I can drench, like totally saturate them, every day. No crazy thinking involved, can go on vacation and anyone can water them....its impossible to over water. Easy to supplement with liquid ferts if needed, another benefit of a non-organic (rock, stone, baked clay) substrate. and the extra salts can be washed out no problem.
>>
>>540674784
Because that shit-box garden method won't work once the temp hits 100 degrees. Plants get stressed, output drops to near zero.

>>540675068
Nope. Grow them vertically in a potato box. You build it up and add more soil as it grows.
>>
>>540677006
The totally do. I'm in the south, months of 95+ degree living, You just need thermal mass, watering them will cool the mass. The plants care about temperature SHOCK, not just a highish temp. Thats why they do fine in greenhouses that are hot as hell.

Did you ever have to deal with fungus gnats? I even had a pinguicula set up because I expected them, they still overwhelmed it. The whole plant was black and the room was still swarming with the flies after like a month. Had to take that shit outside to get them all to die.
>>
>>540677725
The new LED grow lamps are cheapish, you can wire up your own easy and cut that cost by 90%. Look at flood and drain hydro, dirt inside is a pain in the ass. I ran a 4x6 hydro "wall" (3 flood and drain tubes, one resevoir) with a grow lamp at my old place, basically could pick a huge salad for lunch every day once I got it dialed in. Took about 5 minutes of work daily to keep it going, stopped because travel for a few weeks meant everything died as no one could really be brought up to speed to maintain it for me. A grand and a weekend and you could line that whole room with a hydro setup with a 800W lamp for 3 walls.
>>
>>540678020
go hyro, soil inside will always be fucked somehow. A lot of soil inside.....means a lot of fucked.
>>
>>540678020
>fungus gnats?
picrel. buy 500 packs of them and make a sticky grid on the window. leave a gap for the natural light to pass, otherwise they won't take the bait. when I first started, the gnats were fuckin insane. I was laying the yellow stickies in the trays, but it only slowed them all down.

adding permethrin granules to the mix helped. it is the same stuff used on camping bug spray and is the least toxic option, especially since the plants themselves don't uptake very much of it.
>>
>>540677669
Nice buddah
>>
>>540678129
I run around 1600 watts of lights, fans, and a dehumidifier in the winter. the felt strips on the bottom of the window catch the water drain, but I think for this winter I am going to make a stick-on drain trough with a tygon hose going to a catch bucket.

there was so much condensation last winter that it made a streak on the siding outside my house.

Well that sucks, I don't want to use chemicals and my wife will be really sad if I plaster our window in yellow plastic filled with dead insects.
But at least it's good to know that the gnats are normal and not some kind of infected soil or whatever. I'll look for other options to deal with them.
>>
>>540678129
>hydro setup
planning on doing something like that using an air lift pump instead of electric pumps. the idea is to have a line ran upstairs from the air compressor and have timed solenoids and 1/4" tygon hoses lift the process water up to the shelves. that would provide enough air exchange in the room while also being a silent pump all day. the compressor would have to run once in the morning as an alarm clock, but aside from the solenoid clicks on the timer, it will be silent.
>>
>>540678224
If you went for a drier mix, think bosai, you'd have less problems. The gnats need the moisture. Also you don't have drainage holes on your setup, so you will always have standing water in the bottom of your containers for them. I remember using a larvacide that wiped them out for good, mixed it with the water. You should check that out. Bugs inside = unacceptable. They will only lessen you enjoyment of the hobby and make showing off "the garden" an embarrassment.

All of that shit will be rusted and the plastic will turn brittle in 5 years. Dirt and plants go into the ground. The only exception should be "starters" when you want shit growing during the time mother nature tells you to fuck off.

>>540677669
add used coffee grounds to them and sift the soil well of rocks and clumps of clay.

>>540677899
cardboard should ALWAYS be put first before dirt because it traps water and makes perfect highways for worms and roots. It is worthless as "weed barrier" because it itself is made of dead plants and if there's anything plants love to eat more than minerals and water it's other dead plants. Hay would be a better "weed barrier" because then you can turn it and actually get the roots out easier (you're supposed to turn mulch of any kind otherwise the weeds will simply grow in it too.

>>540678475
>chemicals
I was going to try eugenol too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenol#Insects_and_fish

you could probably convince her to make stylized checker pattern or something from the gnats. another thing I was doing was running a small light at night and having the sticky traps in front of it. it kept them at bay, but yellow stickies on the window work 100%.

clear packing tape would probably work too, except you would have to put some effort and thought into getting the sticky side facing out. maybe lay down small tabs of double sided tape and lay the clear packing tape on backwards. I'll be trying that next.
>>
>>540678562
>you don't have drainage holes
and that's why I run it as a starter room. the clear trays are cool because you can precisely control the amount of water. I run the coir mix rather dry, but you would be surprised about not really needing drains. I add hormex to the water occasionally to get the plant root bound before transferring out.

there certainly are times for drains, but the gnat problem was so bad that I worked around it.
>>
>>540678717
Plastics in America goes brittle? Are they made from corn?
>>
>>540678721
Honestly I wouldn't even be able to convince myself to look at those sticky traps. The pinguica works well for what it is, but at the infestation level I had last time I'd need to allocate half my growing space to them, and they're 5 bucks a pop so not exactly cheap.
I'll try again once it starts getting colder outside. Maybe hydrogen peroxide + bottom watering will do the trick.
>>
>>540678475
gnats are not normal and aren't hard to fix if you wipe them out. The larvacide I mentioned I think was a bacteria, so not a "chemical"....whatever that means, as they obviously are producing chemicals that are killing bugs, just like every plant is doing all the time.........
>>540678533
airlifts are tricky, a small pump makes less noise than your computer. If you put the reservoir up high, you could also do siphons to time the watering. You can make them stupid accurate time and volume wise
>>540678810
I'm not surprised its working fine without drainage, I'm merely mentioning that is a factor in your fly problem. If this is a starter room and everything gets moved out, I bet you could freeze or bake the soil before you brought it in and then no gnat eggs alive in the dirt to haunt you all winter.

>airlifts are tricky
yup. another idea is to lay in a piece of sweat tubing into each tray and run an air/water mix to water, feed, and ventilate each tray. I had some success with that as a test and will do some more, but I think a mix of kratky, traditional, and hydro is on the horizon.

I must've tried 5 different promixes from the store before settling on making my own. I'll get a meat grinder soon to grind up the raw manure I buy to mix into the coir/crystal/permethrin/manure/perlite mix.

next thing is more lab equipment to start doing tissue cultures.

GermAnon.... That guys has a legit infestation he isn't solving only "treating". Its not hard to have bug free growing inside. Having said that, when bugs do get on your indoor plants, they can blow up as no natural predator's. Spiddermites, gnats, etc. You just need to go nuclear on them and its not a big deal and you don't need to ever wrap your house in packing tape.

that pump sprayer is for a mix of neem oil and castille soap.

I built my first garden this year now that I have property. I enjoy it a lot although it was a lot of hard work at first. Now I know I can just smother grass with cardboard and mulch if I want to build a bigger one next year. I'm growing cucumbers, bell peppers, and honeydew melons, as well as some flowers to attract pollinators. I've picked a bunch of cukes already and there are some peppers and melons that I'm waiting to ripen. My wife and I don't grow vegetables because we know they are harmful for human health unlike what the Jews want you to believe.

Now I've discovered these little fuckers are pests that can spread a bacteria strain that can kill your entire cucumber or honeydew plant, so I'm treating my plants with a neem oil spray. I found these things on my plants ever since they started producing flowers and assumed they would just help pollinate them, but yeah cucumber beetles are horrible for your garden and they need to be treated before they spread disease. My one vine may be infected already, only time will tell
>>
>>540679478
>it has more or less solved the gnat problem
.....this means you have not solved the problem. You are managing a problem, not solving it. IIRC Neem won't fuck with gnats, neem might suffocate them if they drown (so would dawn dish soap or anything that breaks surface tension), neem fucks with aphid hormones so they stop fucking and just eat all time (or visa versa can't remember). So you are basically drowning a few gnats, maybe a few larva in the soil, then the eggs are egging again. Just go nuclear and stop pussy footing with all this extra crap and have a nice clean grow room that's pleasant to be in and give yourself the time to actually worry about the plant growth not your bug problem. This is a lot of work, time, money to not kill them all forever
>>
>>540679470
I took the nuclear option on those fuckers when they came after my rose bushes.
Not sure I want all those chemicals on my food crops though.

>>540679850
chuckle party. thanks anon. my bugs are completely under control and are staying that way now.

it is a continuing effort and the war will never be won. the stickies stay up because defeating an infestion of bugs will last maybe 2 weeks tops before I carry in some bugs on my shirt or something from outside.

>go nuclear

and that thinking right there...is why you have tens of thousands of gnats in your hobby grow room. Mitigation is cope, just solve the problem and move on to the next one. BTI drench, and then no gnats. Its that easy. If still not solved, you do something different until it is solved.

that usually stops everything except the suckers from the tree stump. it was a bradford pear tree I cut down 5 years ago. I drilled holes in the stump and poured epsom salt in a few times. the fucker just won't die. it still sends out those fucking suckers everywhere.
I have to be careful what I do to it because I have a beautiful japanese maple next to it that I don't want to kill.
>>
>>540678224
stop using permethrin and just cover the soil/substrate.
use peroxide also
>>
>>540680569
very little. it is a starter room. I have about a quarter acre yarden where I run 10 gallon outdoor grow bags. once they get outside it tends to keep doing a good job to keep insects away... which is what it is supposed to do. the other option was eugenol. I'll try that next, but the right answer to all of it is to work on some kratky and hydro stuff.

do you have a better option?

>>540680344

this anon seems cool. he wants me to smear jew bacteria on my plants, which I will.

>>540680675
peroxide. on the todo list. I will have to get a bigger sprayer to make it worth it and to not mix the neem bottle and all that shit. getting high test peroxide is tough, but I think I can use around 1 gallon of 50% per year for the room and yarden.

had me laughing. But seriously man, just solve the problem and you'll enjoy it more. If the BTI doesn't, do the next thing, and repeat until its fixed. Or move everything outside, clean the shit out of that room, fungus gnat eggs die at 120 degrees, thats very doable with a $50 space heater and a temp controller. Make you soil mix, hold at 120 degrees, never have a gnat again. Easy, less work than you are doing now, gets you a nice clean grow room.

I have no fuckin clue what I am doing with any of this. I just woke up last year and thought it would be cool to have a perpetual kitchen herb garden in my spare room. thanks for the jew bacteria, I am going to look into why they called it that. the etymology of those situations almost always have some sort of old hidden truth to them.

https://archive.org/details/4-the-monsters-of-babylon-by-g-d

excellent audiobook which tells stories of just how filthy the jews are/were. it is almost a trope for archeaologists to know they are digging up a kike shitroom in some old site because of all the parasitic intestinal worm eggs they find fossilized in the shit pile and solidifed over the millenia. they still do that shit now, filthy fucks.

anyway, the next phase of the plan is to convert the 800 sqft basement into a 24/7 grow room. that jew juice will be helpful. I'll probably make a little menorah pump fountain for it in the corner to keep some vapor in the air.

>I have no fuckin clue what I am doing with any of this
awesome, that's how everyone starts anything. Its about doing things differently until something works, then keep doing that thing....until it stops working....then doing things differently again. Thats how everything works. But step one is identifying there is an issue, that many bugs is an issue. Composted manure inside...is an issue. Only getting rootbound with adding root hormone.... is an issue (all plants want to fill their containers). Isolate the issues, then confront them with moxie and it becomes a lot more fun.

>>540674784
Unless you have a large garden you wont get very much produce. Most vegetables are pretty cheap to just buy if you factor in the costs and time associated with growing them yourself. Things that are worth growing are expensive vegetables like Asparagus, Artichokes, and Peppers. Herbs are nice to grow also. I think growing your own food is great so dont give up, but you dont get nearly as much as you think you will.

>>540681002
if my garden was that big, I would definitely do that. I wish I had that much room to grow stuff.
all of my garden boxes are 8x4 and 4x4. I have to weed it a little at the start of the season, but once everything is growing the weeds don't really have anywhere to grow. sometimes I put down organic mulch, but this year I didn't even bother to do it and it's fine.
>>
>>540681640
>rootbound with adding root hormone
sort of shown in the photo here

>>540681002

I have rows of basil in the ground around 4 feet tall. I started set in the ground and a set in the grow room along with an extremely old basil plant I had going in there for 6 months. the old basil plants exploded the first week and are the tallest with potent leaves, the grow room basil is about 3 feet tall, and the ones I went with the traditional route are maybe a 2 foot tall with stale leaves.

>hormex
I really want to auxins and gibberelins as additives. another success I had was harvesting kudzu in the morning and juicing out the growth hormones to feed my huckleberries and mulberries. they love that kudzu juice.

>grow trays
they are lexan food service trays at $6 each. when the basil plant got rootbound inside, I just let it dry out for a day and lifted it out, no problem. as long as you precisely water each tray and don't make a puddle in the bottom it works great. perlite in the mix is a must, obv.

>>540681223
All plants have defense chemicals, some more potent than others and will kill you instantly (like hemlock). Some toxins are mild but will still kill you slowly. For example, leafy greens are high in oxalates, which will bind to your calcium and buildup deposits in your organs and/or joints. Plants produce these chemicals to defend themselves. Animals and insects are more in touch with their instincts, and won't eat plants that taste bitter to them. These are their taste buds telling them that food is harmful for them. But humans are stupid and cover up these bitter tastes with seasonings, sauces, vinegar etc then claim they enjoy eating these toxic bitter foods. It's the reason why babies and toddlers won't eat vegetables, but will happily eat meat and ripe fruit, they haven't been brainwashed to eat vegetables yet. Ripe fruits are good because the plant converts the toxic chemicals into other shit, because the plant actually wants an animal to eat the fruit to help it reproduce

thank you.
I made 30 jars of pickles. they turned out really good. I'm definitely growing cucumbers and making them every year from now on.
>>
>>540675000
You say that but I got blight during my first season.
>>
>>540681847
the yarden actually has 3 levels to it. each is about 4 feet tall, so I am digging irrigation catchments and ditches back there to protect my house, so planting a bunch of vining fruit plants like grapes and such will keep the hill from sliding while also making a good root network. once the grow bags are back there for a season or three, I'll set them in the ground as permanent.

annuals and all that are in bags. each bag gets a handful of white clover and marigold/wildflower seeds as a default mix for nitrogen capture and feeding the good insects to kill their enemies in their insect wars.

the idea is to make a cascading trellis across the 3 levels with a canopy of plants to provided shaded light to the grow bags on the ground.
>>
>>540681922
>perlite in the mix is a must, obv.
the annoying thing with perlite in containers is that it floats. You can buy these screens that fit over buckets (or just normal screens) and sift basically any inorganic (like stone) or mulch to 1/8" to 1/4" and get the same drainage and water retention properties. It being heavier helps keep big plants in their pots as well.
>basil
lots of types to check out, I like the thai one
>>
>>540681847
>garden boxes
jealous. it is hell on my ankles walking on a slope on 3 levels. having to arrange everything by not using a rectangular grid is a nightmare. mowing back there would've been stupid, so the only option was to fabric mat the entire thing. should've done it a decade ago.

eventuall will get some astroturf carpet panels to make walking lanes or whatever.

>>540674784
Looks great. How much soil is in those? 80%+?
>>
>>540682241
>the annoying thing with perlite
the other one is that no one stocks it. every time I go on errands it is gone. I want to try some other aeration options, but the end result of all this is going to be some sort of grow bag system where each bag gets a 1/2" tygon hose connection to plug into a header with a throttle valve at each 4th or so branch for adjustments. timers and etc...

>basil
I still have 8 pounds of seed left. I dug up a 500 sqft patch in my front yard to make a bed of it and wildflowers so I don't have to mow over there.

any tips on privacy plants? I have an arborea wall coming in and some elephant grass starting in trays but need something better and cooler. I want to be able to fuck women back there and not have my neighbors know.
>>
>>540682315
if you got ambitious, you could put up 3 retaining walls around it and put a few dump trucks of soil on it. I dunno how you would figure out how to keep it from washing away in a big storm tho....
>>
>>540682315
I built the boxes out of 2x6 and 2x12 they are about 3 feet high in the back. I have to put fences around them because i have a bunch of fat fucking groundhogs that are an inch away from being in the crockpot.
>>
>>540675370
I've spent like double or triple my normal water bill just keeping mine alive because it didn't rain in March April or May and now it's like monsoon season. Some are catching up but spring shit all failed because they sprayed the sky every fucking day

Last year they did something that turned all my tomato plants into cherry tomato plants. The other 6 neighbors I have who keep gardens all also said they had one harvest of tomato plants and then every single one of theirs stopped producing. They need to stop doing shit
>>
>>540682556
>3 retaining walls
>washing out

the upper level retaining wall rotted out this year. my 84 yo neighbor has been there since first construction and his yard on the same hill never had any retaining walls at all. the boomers who owned the house first made a stonewall in the back and a yarden, then a genx dude came along and got a divorce and sold it to me at the assessed value out of spite. she "won" half the sale price in the divorce, so he sold it to me at about half the price.

>washing out
the plan is to use the felt type landscape fabric to feed the permanent plants and get their roots to be dominant. I have 3 full trailers (14 feet long, 6 wide, 6 tall) worth of poison ivy and kudzu. immune now, but fuuuuuuck that shit.
>>
>>540682639
>groundhogs
same. another reason I laid down the fabric. those fuckers at last years melon patch from underneath. I'd pickup empty melons with a little groundhog hole under them.
>>
>>540676272
How do you grow weed? It's illegal. The seeds are legal for some reason though

Also it's interesting to me that the government made it illegal and it's just gone from the country. Like it no longer appears anywhere in the woods or wild anywhere. And what if few hundred people just drove around throwing seeds out in remote areas, would it manage to gain a foothold. Kudzu had no problems. Same with a host of others

>edible bramble?
super cool. I have a set of vining roses to make a nigger catcher patch on my sideyards.

>biochar
I had a fire pit with a breather shaft running for a while to make a pile of it. vining stuff just smokes a lot and never dries out enough to burn well. neighbors complain, rightfully. also inhaling 3 trailer loads full of urushiol smoke vapor will probably kill me. I did get immune to it over the years though.

thanks for the bramble idea. will probably pair well with the vining roses nigger catchers I have growing now.
>>
>>540682833
I grew it in my yard 2 years ago and it did great. no problems. I ended up with over 3 pounds. then the neighbors sold their house, so last year i put it in the woods and nigger rippers fucking robbed me for all 12 plants 3 weeks before harvest.. I would have killed them if I caught them.

now I have a grow tent in my house, and I can grow enough in it to smoke as much as i want.

the day I got the keys from him we had a chat. turns out he was moving to Denver, exactly where I had just moved from. he got a job in a datacenter as an hvac tech, which I had applied to about a year before as a network tech and got passed over.

his ex wife would get debt collector messages all the time, so I collected them and started having conversations with them. she got her car towed because parking tickets, smashed, and when I told her she got mad at me like it was my fault for it all.

don't ever help a woman. ever.

you know what I could also do? I could buy a few bags of wood charcoal at the store and fill up my xterra for maybe $100 and make it all at once without nigger rigging my backyard?

my neighbors built a "treehouse" by nailing a piece of plywood on top a tall stump they cut down. their retard kids fell off, so they made cross braces on their 10 foot tall platform. its a fuckin hillnigger shitshack back there with those trashy piles of shit.

how about this- how many fuckable women do you think would drain my balls back in my yarden if I walk her back there and showoff a 55 gallon drum full of poison ivy and try to convince her its ok and she won't get it all over her and the plants are safe to eat.

zero. exactly zero.

>>540683451
it was sort of surreal. he had the redpill forced down his throat. after the chat about all kinds of shit about her, we literally high fived each other, he put on his sunglasses, flipped off the neighborhood, and fuckin roared off to Denver and told StL to go fuck itself.

I've been checking rent prices for 2 years consistently, because i don't qualify for "in need" assistance, the cheapest i can get is $450~ a week (i live semi-rural), so instead i live with mum. And she's a narcissist. Put it this way, if she was a man I'd smash her face into pulp simply for the way she talks to me and other people.
Therefore i cannot garden. I also don't want to spend 27k a year on rent and utilities, for 20~ years (paying 500k to someone else) while i build enough to buy the bare minimum land to DIY a house.

I lived on a street like that in florida. it was the end of the street, and we all knew each other and had cookouts together. very comfy. like a small community.
one night I caught a nigger creeping around at 3 am, I yelled out HEY STOP RIGHT THERE MOTHERFUCKER and all of a sudden there were 6 guys in their underwear holding rifles outside on the street. we held him at gunpoint for the cops, and he ended up having stolen shit on him and warrants. like niggers usually do. it was amazing living there.
>>
>>540684559
>it was amazing living there.
the spic across the street keeps a basement full of guns and spends time at the range a 20 minute bike ride away. he also has mowing contracts with the city and a lot of the businesses, so I am pretty sure if he shot a nigger with me that we would get away with it.

what's also rad is this is an old subdivision near a light manufacturing industrial district to separate us from the wakandans. the burb is ~300 houses with only 2 small roads to access it from the main niggerville megalopolis city.

no fuckin clue what I ever did in this life or one before to land this sweet fuckin deal.

at least here it is entertaining. the former corrupt sherriff got caught forcing a deputy to roll golden dice to keep his job along with his personal sidearm. after he lost, the sherriff got butthurt and went on vacation. after a few years, they had him in jail in a cell where he was still doing his job as sherriff with a cell phone and laptop, except heading for trial by a bunch of other corrupt niggers.

completely unrelated, some cops were drunk on duty again and crashed their suv into a faggot bar, shot a dog, and arrested the owner for being mad about the situation. a few months ago some other cops started running over niggers again, so it all balances out I suppose.

>>540686137

>>
>>540686472
>former corrupt sherriff
forgot to mention the part where he got out of jail for a while and had an ankle bracelet and still doing sherriff stuff in uniform, but with an ankle bracelet.

at some point, completely unrelated, a woman was being held at the city jail out of his jurisdiction and she had dirt on him and could prove sexual abuse and all sorts of pedo shit.

what did he do? he gathered up some deputies, went to the jail, arrested the warden, and told that bitch to shut her fuckin mouth.

turns out you can get away with screaming blood at someone and forcing them to stand at attention and apologize to the entire neighborhood and not get arrested so long as you have emails for when the cops show up all fagged up and angry.

oh I see. is hydro the way to go then if I am ocd about insects? I am having a melty every day during the summer over the handful that come in on the vegetables I buy from the store. I have those vinegar traps and the blue light ones but I will have to try putting yellow tape on the windows now. does it work when the blinds are closed? I live on the first floor and keep them shut all the time so my neighbors can't see me walking around with my cock out.
>>
>>540690167
>does it work when the blinds are closed?
don't know. probably. make sure to leave a sliver of gap between the panels if you use the yellow sticky ones. I covered a large window with them and they clustered around a spot I was lazy and didn't cover. once I made slits and let more outside light in, the bugs started sticking to those areas.

thats why I am pretty sure some cheap packing tape laid on backwards would work too and not be so stupid looking. lay down a strip of cheap double sided tape first, then lay backwards some clear packing tape, sticky side out and landing on the double sided strip.

aside from that, following basic instructions and experimenting taught me more than anything.

bug control first, don't do what I did and start growing stuff and find out too late. I fought them for weeks when they surprised me. the photo I posted with a jar of hormex above shows how dense they were.
>>
>>540690346
I am concerned that even if I bake my dirt before I plant anything it can end up getting colonized by bugs that fly in through the door when it's open or on vegetables brought in from outside.
>>
>>540690962
>bake my dirt
don't even bother. all that shit is just a headache.

go spend $30 and buy a block of coconut coir or peat moss at your nearest hardware store. pick a bag of fertilizer which doesn't stink, since they are all sanitized by law, and something like perlite to fluff it up.

sooooo much better. after that, you can tailor the fertilizer to whatever you are growing in the pot. pH too. costs 10% and doesn't include a bunch of fuckin sticks and twigs. I filled in about 100 bags in my backyard that way for about $150 and it is perfect.
