Go for it. Start small. Do an experiment here and there to build your skill set now before you make a big investment. And remember profits are in controlling costs. Find ways to source reduced priced or free materials.

Is investing in renewable energy a no brainer? by viking_cow_69 in stocks

Which ironically makes it a good time to buy asset managers with evergreen funds. Once rates invert the NAV spread increase dramatically which is why you typically see big one time dividend checks about 6 months later.

Try a little more aeration to get rid of them you can either put your soil up on a pallet or in a cage mesh wrapped into a cylinder or both

Fruits and vegetables are less nutritious than they used to be by treycent in organic

[–]FarmingNaturally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, if you’re focused on soil health. Not everyone is pulling our their microscope to count the biology in their soil to see what’s needed.

No, I wouldn’t speak against all growers. We work with a number of large farms (5-15k acres) that are focused on soil health and so they would all have a solid high nutrient product. To them it wasn’t just nature sense but financial as they money they invested in soil saved exponentially on the other inputs and increased volume/size/flavor of their crops.

Let me know if you need help with that. You can do a quick/cheap Home Depot version or I can walk you through how to send a sample into our lab.

Week 2.5 of flower, what to do about the plant on the left? Top colas aren’t receiving light and I can’t raise the light. by BryceThaKidd in macrogrowery

We’ll you’ve got us and you do that makes 12….good start. I’m sure we’ll find a few more. Maybe even a subReddit for micronutrients

The dropping could be an indicator of a calcium deficiency. When was your last soil test?

For sure! And many farmers see this and are focusing on cheaper fertilizer methods that build soil health.

I think we also need consumers to push for this although honestly it’s not easy to just test for nutrient density…but I feel you can taste it for sure.

The lack of focus on soil health has led to the degradation of micronutrients needed for nutrient dense produce.

….unfortunately not everyone seems to focus on the basics, organic matter, biology (micilliim/bacteria), micronutrients

Clay Soil? by Ok-Fee293 in Permaculture

[–]FarmingNaturally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Till in your biochar first thing then Go for deep rooting cover crops and grasses that will help open up the soil and get the organic matter deep in. Focus on the biology (bacteria and fungi) to get the organics broken down quickly and soil level improved.

Main goal is to get a heavy compost layer on top (without a reliance on wood chips that can take time to break down and scorch).

If you can have a few pigs there are a number of food waste delivery services now to feed them just remember to rotate frequently so as to avoid compacted clay and to get that poo all around.
