We get a lot of people that leave Boston after work....on a Friday...with everyone else....they are surprised it takes them longer than Google tells them. Same with going into Acadia Park...gotta get in there before 6am...
Happy Easter Blew and all.
)...a bit coarser than the other slurry (which was like a paste) and I was like hell yes...I grabbed some smaller buckets and my shovel and got about 150 lbs.....I would have got more but the yard guy had to monitor me (liability) and it was pissing rain and I felt bad for him....plus he said I could always get more later. Also asked if they use any lubricants or chemicals and he said nope, just a straight water saw...also said they got a lot of MOFGA (organic) farms coming there so it's legit....so, I'm done buying glacial rock dust! I kept thinking on the drive back...who do I know that owns a dumptruck?!
If you ever want to see "soil-porn" look at the Vermont Compost company...they have a video of the owner talking about the process and it is mesmerizing...makes you want to buy a ton of it...and I know many locals up here who swear by it. but, at $1,000 a ton it is pricey....but one of their main inputs is granite dust from a local quarry....never considered they might get it for free.....
Nope, never used seawater...seems like too much salt...plus I'd have to lug it.
Just yesterday I got a piece of granite from my neighbor...no way my tractor was lifting it...figured the math and it was around 1600 lbs....looks sweet on the Cabin.
My single WW in ground (it's San Diego with those latitude advantages) looks just like yours. I've grown in N Vt and appreciate the skill and effort you show us in your grow. Somehow for me there seems a connection with grows and growers everywhere.Finally got some clear, sunny days and girls looked happy so I took a chance and repotted the White Widow into a 3-gallon fabric pot. I haven't used these before, so I am curious. Ultimately I am putting the WW into a 25 gallon fabric in the greenhouse, so this pot should be good for another 4-6 weeks (??). I used Pro Mix and a couple big handfuls of our secret stash worm castings so hopefully there are plenty of nutrients for a week or so. By then hopefully we will have our greenhouse aquaponics running and I can use the N rich water from the fish to water the WW. I am going to repot the Northern Light auto when I get my 5-gallons later this week (hopefully), and then just let it ride the whole way in it. The current containers used are 3-quart deli containers we get for free.
Before repotting (WW on right)
After Repotting
No, that is just debris from overhead trees...my neighbor is a mason and he has a boneyard of granite...I picked one out and he drove it over and placed it (I grabbed two buckets of his crushed rock to make a pad first). All of that is getting washed off with the rain...I sept a lot of off yesterday when it was dry.
Well, it was one of those things that unfolded...I stopped to say hello and 2.5 hours later after catching up on our winters/kids/life I finally asked him where I could get a stone...didn't think he'd offer me his stash...especially didn't plan on it that day as I couldn't get a truck to deliver stone/dirt for another few weeks (too muddy) but he said he'd be too busy in a month so why not today...you don't pass up those opportunities!
