Back Yard Growing Bet

Gold Header Ad

Hey-hey, glad you stopped by. You’re just in time to get some awesome advice here from a guy, me (Rev), that has been growing for over 50 years—yup—and, yikes! Back yard growing is one of my very favorite ways to grow. Low pressure, using sunshine, it’s pretty awesome. Today I want you to begin what I will teach you here now, this month. When I say today, I mean more generally speaking, around October in the northern hemisphere. Let’s have a look-see at what I am talking about shall we? I’ll make you a bet that if you take me up on this, you’ll get the best weed you ever grew—top shelf quality.

Doing This in a Raised Bed would Be My First Choice

Start Doing This Now – Good Things Take Time

Okay, now you’re going to need some access to Real Food, yeah? Not like frozen organic burritos or something. I mean like potatoes, bananas, apples, pasta, used coffee grounds and filters, all kitchen veggie scraps like carrot tops, broccoli trim, etc. Also any food you have that goes bad can be used as well so nothing goes to waste. Halloween pumpkin leftovers are awesome, as are all squashes and gourds. Go easy on the citrus fruit, onions and peppers. No salt, spices, or fat/butter/grease, no meat/fish/poultry—unless you want it to be smelly, and have some animals digging. You’ll need cages over the top if you go this route.

Basically You Can Just Do This in Shallow Holes

Basically you just need to start tossing all these things in a spot or two in your back yard exactly where you want to have a plant growing come next spring, yeah? You can use raised beds, or like shallow crater holes to contain your scraps. Just start tossing them out there, that’s all you have to do for now. That’s step one. If you’re choosing a place to grow for the first time, shoot for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Not close to any plants that are diseased or infested every year. Also not within lighting distance of any security motion lights, headlights etc., darkness must be DARK and uninterrupted by any light.

Back Yard Growing the Very Best Buds – Step Two

About a week or two before you plan to place your plants in the ground, I would advise mid June here with plants or clones about a foot tall, and you should end up with some very nice and manageable sized plants. Anyway, move any of the compost that hasn’t decomposed yet towards the outside rim of the hole or the raised bed. Plant your plant dead center where the compost pile has been all winter. Make sure you mulch out around the plant too. Like bark mulch or straw even, dried leaves works fine too. Mulch is magical on top of living soil, trust me and don’t skip mulching.

It should go without saying you will want to use chlorine free water on these plants. You cannot simply bubble away the chlorine in your water these days, it’s chloramine now and much more stable. You will need carbon filtering or an organic acid to remove it. Also it should go without saying that you should not use any synthetic fertilizers or you will ruin everything you have done. Top dressing with compost, worm castings, or balanced all natural nutrients (like in the photo above) works fine.

Back Yard Growing and Small Compost Piles Potential Issues

Compost Pile Fencing is Usually a Good Idea

In the photo above you can see some simple compost containment done with some rabbit cage fencing wire. If you have any raccoons you may need to do this, otherwise they will wreak havoc on your compost pile raiding it for stuff to eat.

Using the Compost Pile to Grow Site Dynamic Rocks Huge

Also, you never want to place any kind of barrier between your compost piles and the ground. No tarps or anything like that. You want all that goodness to go down into the soil below reenergizing it in a huge way. If the pile looks like it has dried out and no rain is in the forecast just water the piles yourself with chlorine free water.

Afterword

Wanna read some more Rev, here ya go: Curing Your Cannabis with The Rev. Also, you don’t need the soil below these compost piles to be great soil, it will turn into great soil by springtime, trust me. As long as you keep on piling the compost slowly but surely, all will be well. Just don’t pick a place that has had heavy synthetic fertilizer use, as that will be challenging to bioremediate—it will take longer is all.
