I am very interested in this topic. I grew inoculated peas and fava beans recently. The peas slowly died from some kind of disease, but the favas were very robust and decomposed easily when I tilled it under. I was very pleased with the resulting nitrogen globs on the fava roots: Most of...

Here's a better link, Stalin: Epson Salts Cheers!

This thread is a real page turner!

Good to hear about the veggies working out for your son. I've never grown a papaya from seed myself, I commend you for giving it a try. I have some bad news about the Monster Infinity. It has perished... :violin: Between a neighborhood cat that decapitates peppers as I put them outside, and the...

I've sent and received addresses; I'm locked and loaded. Thanks for starting this train, Nick; It's off to a great start.

Woooo, I love a good Seed Train; Add me! Edit: Sent gnarlyeggs my address.

You are in for a treat, Kale is delicious. I've always grown it from seed, not sure how sensitive it is to having it's roots fondled. You could try dividing, but give it shade so it can recover. I grow pest traps like Nasturtiums nearby because bugs love Kale. Harvest the leaves from the bottom...

I am near you in Placentia, and tried overwintering for the first time last year. I overwintered my plants outside in pots in a covered location. Some of the young ones died. I have also had a plant uncovered, unpruned, and in the ground survive just fine.

Adaptive Seeds grows out and selects plants that perform well in Oregon. The Maria Nagy seeds I purchased from them have been the most vigorous peppers I've grown this season. Highly recommended. Closer to your neck of the woods, fatallii.net has some cool stuff (get the Blondie seeds!)

+1 to throwing it in your compost bin or worm bin. Definitely use it, or SELL IT ON EBAY!

Welcome, Neighbor! :welcome:

Maxsack, that's a cool mix. I haven't made a mix from scratch yet, but want to start playing around with chipped pine. HwyBill: My first pot-up I went from peat pellets to Kellogg Patio Plus with Pearlite added. Seemed to work good, when I potted up again, I added some some coco coir to the mix...

Your aphid story reminds me what I like so much about growing without chemical fertilizers and pesticides. I used to react to bugs by trying to find the right pesticide to fix the "problem." For me, a chemical gardening program was all about putting out fires. What's cool about organic/natural...

El Yucateco Kutbil-Ik It's easy to find in Mexican markets and has nice flavor.

I switched to full organic last year. Here's a few things I think are valuable: !. Start a compost pile 2. think about cover cropping 3. Start a worm bin 4. Check out this list Stuff I use: Seaweed/Kelp extract Alaska Fish Fertilizer (available at Walmart) Mycorrhizae Rock Dust Also: Aroura...

I once took a bike trip with a buddy around your area. We were walking around SLO one night and a student wearing only a bra and panties walked up to us and asked, "Do you guys want to come to a naked party?" We followed her back to here house where her housemates were indeed naked and partying...

9500100014012081000105 :woohoo: Shane, you may get this tomorrow; Get ready to be blown away! Your googling finger is going to get mighty sore. To those further down the line, this is well worth the wait, and seeing as though the train has hit me twice in 22 days, you will not be waiting...

Oh Man, did I mention this Train is insane?!?!?!? Way to stock the superhots, 3/5. And, to the gentleman who uses the bags with the white stripe: wow... just wow. I'm losing focus, back to the seeds....

I've got the Train; this thing is INSANE!!! :fireball: I'm going to spend a few hours hanging out with this gold mine. Tracking number coming soon.

Those are some great pieces you have there. This egg video takes the cake; I want to get my pans to this level of nonsticky-ness. Thanks for the Cast Iron Porn!
