So, some of you samefags might remember my previous thread with my shitty $200 bucket garden and shitty soil.
I am back, many of you had great advice and I have been doing research on different veggies, pH balance, fertilizer etc.
I basically scrapped the bucket idea and moved to smaller cheaper pots. It will be easier to save dirt since I can look up the average cubic feet for the root systems of each plant. My sprinkler system is still coming in the mail.
But now I have so much more room to grow and can use the 5gal buckets for larger plants I want to move outside the greenhouse. It's 20x10x7 for $250 and I used some leftover pvc and redid the plumbing.
There is a great famine coming and everyone has to do their part to bend the curve. If I am successful with my garden; I hope to inspire neighbors to do the same. I will post more pics.
Who's growing Chlorella? It's edible and the high lipid content means you can pyrolize it to make petroleum products (that's literally where petroleum came from originally.) I've noticed my local tap water has too much Chlorine (or something) that's killing it so I've switched to distilled water. Where are you getting the nitrates from? I've read a number of papers that say highly diluted human urine actually works but I haven't tried it yet. Do you guys have a sustainable process for manufacturing alkali metal salts?
look into Dr. Elaine Ingham and living soil, just get earthworms and dont spend money on fertilizer made by (((them))) all you need is biologically active soil and no ph measurement, nothing. you want bigger containers... publish.csiro.au/fp/pdf/FP12049
if you make a proper soilless medium mixture for mineral fertilizers you also dont need to worry about PH. (50/50 mixture of peat moss + vermiculite and adding gypsum and dolomitic lime for ph control).
why not just till up the yard and plant in the dirt dude? whys everyone gotta try and get all fancy with shit?
Ryder Taylor
okay why do you need a green house when there's palm trees everywhere?
Connor Young
I live in Florida so shit grows pretty easy over here. When I start my compost pile I will bring my shovel and buckets and take that muck soil back and throw some dead fish in the compost
Charles Adams
it is about sending a sign as a consumer, not about growing good plants.
Brandon Anderson
genuinely based though, it's a nice start. i'm guessing you have a garden where you will transplant these from the greenhouse when the weather permits right? you're not gonna grow them in those buckets forever, right user?
Daniel Edwards
this is a major improvement. good job OP
Thomas Smith
I’m going to start a worm bin. What I’ve found in Florida is the soil oxidizes too quickly. Compost turns to dirt damn near immediately.
Parker Lopez
cant speak for OP, but my soil is clay garbage with poor drainage and plastic tent can give you a month head start and keep you going a month longer
Owen White
I have best results with fabric planter pots rather than plastic. I also involve fish in the operation.
Nicholas Hernandez
I'm gonna tear off my old rotting roof of my garage and put a clear greenhouse roof. gonna be difficult at hell
Gavin Bennett
shut the fuck up germany we're not going to virtue signal our way out of this
William Moore
then improve it? pick a spot and start adding/altering until you have something usable. it will probably take you a couple years but its very doable. or just find what kind of useful plants prefer your shitty clay and grow them.
Owen James
looks great OP good luck
Dylan Moore
Soil and climate conditions vary. In my case, great soil, about four months growing season, rabbits, moles, rabbits, voles, rabbits, squirrels, rabbits. Did I mention rabbits?
Landon Lopez
You are way overthinking and overpaying here. Gardening is easy, till the soil, spread compost, plant shit. Shit like optimizing pH and nutrients gives a marginal yield increase for the time you spent on it. Just use your time to till more land, that'll increase the yield.
Angel Brown
Mittleider box works for bad soil conditions too. WHAT ARE YOU TELLING ME I WILL SPEND 500€ ON BOTTLED NUTRIENTS AND MEASUREMENT DEVICES BEFORE MY PLANTS EVEN DEVELOPED A LEAF AND YOU WONT STOP ME.
Chase Cook
where's the concertina wire to protect your greenhouse against the pillagers who WILL show up to your home if a food supply crisis hits?
Xavier Phillips
Because there's lots of bugs, racoons, possums and shit. I am basically trying to make an auto garden then eventually a hydroponic fish garden. >it is about sending a sign as a consumer, not about growing good plants. In America you should look at the total in your bank account and deduct 20% off the top. That's basically your spending power after inflation and it will get worse, much worse. What do you think I will be consuming when groceries and power cost more than monthly mortgage? Your spending power is dwindling, you need to spend anything extra you have now on "consumer goods" that will prove valuable or life saving when the government finally pulls the rug.
Cooper Myers
can fix soil but cant fix drainage easier to do raised bed would like to add the greenhouse
Asher Diaz
my anecdote is that im in vegas, and the native soil is pretty much clayey sand with gravel. not ideal to start out on. however, im in the process of getting it alive again. takes a while to till in composted manure, clear rocks and debris and shit, get some starter plants growing and infiltrate any clay petrifications.
another problem im slowly correcting is how hydrophobic native soil is. grass is starting to grow though, but i have to keep an eye on it
Ethan Sanders
Lmao i remember that thread. What plants are you thinking of planting ? If I had a garden, I'd do potatoes, tomatoes, peas, beans, onions and garlic. Maybe some herbs too if theres space.
Joshua Flores
Very based my friend.
Elijah Carter
>lots of bugs, racoons, possums and shit. Yup. Them, too.
Charles Harris
In the ground on the side of the green house would make a nice plot. But I got time, for now I grow and continue preparing
Jayden Williams
bitches how do i get the benefits from aeroponic grow rates in an organic system. something like vermiponics but vermiponics looks like shit everytime and the plants look like gigawimps.
is something like a octopot system actually the bigbrained solution for this. i want FASTER VEGETATIVE GROWTH AND I AM THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR TOO LONG NOW.
I just planted 2 apple and 2 cherry trees, will I make it?
James Carter
you can indeed fix soils.
and while youre messing with all of the mental masturbation of all of this ill just keep planting row crops with a push planter and a 20 year old rototiller. picrel
a couple people here mentioned that before, and thats certainly something i need to work on long-term. ive got some inoculated white clover coming, we'll see if it grows. someone also mentioned just tossing some starch/cornmeal around the dirt and hopefully get some bacteria/fungus started
Kayden Edwards
I have well water to a sprinkler system will do fine
Jordan Adams
Why not grow these plants inside your garage where you can shelter them 100% from the environment?
Tyler Parker
Anyone have any good brands/sources/links to quality seeds? I want some nice heirloom/non-pozzed seeds for growing fruits and veggies as well as some herbs
Adam Gray
Of I lived in your neighborhood, I’d try to be friends with you and copy your good ideas. I’m down for saving money and being self-sufficient. Most people live paycheck to paycheck, and if they got a 50% pay increase, they’d still live paycheck to paycheck. They don’t prep, they just consume and laugh at late funny man. This is the majority. They have enough food on hand to last a week or so… but they won’t even wait until the calories run out. They aren’t going to eat beans. They want cookies. They will kill when they experience real hunger for the first time. They will kill neighbors, friends, even family. There is zero objective morality left in most people, only subjective morality. Basically, they can justify any hideous action based on need. Moreover, they can rationalize even more than they can justify.
Did I mention also that they are stupid? They will burn down shelters to force you out, destroying supplies. They will kill farmers to steal apples from their hands. In all of your prepping, just remember these things, and that Having a network of like-minded people (who actually are growing things!) is the only way to make this truly work.
And keep sharing these things. Eliminating consumption is the most political act a western man can take. That is not an exaggeration.
I haven't read anything of your post but I'm just here to tell you that your garden will be plundered by a gang of niggers within a week of anything happening and you would be their special sex slave at best
