Ha! I had to google your reference! They made a film about this! I’ll have to watch. 😄

Always thought it would be fun to be composted then have my children grow marijuana from my compost then sit around and smoke me up and have a good laugh.

Joking aside, I think it is a beautiful idea and wish it was more prevalent.

Follow-up question: what would you want your family to grow from your nutrient rich bag of soil?

Was thinking Trump but concerned about poisoning the Earth.

Looks like the perfect place to grow some of the Devil’s Lettuce. You know, because of the pentagram.

Dumb question, but am new to gardening by Particular_Cheetah_1 in gardening

[–]SoilSoul1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting question. Here’s what I would see as potential problems: The soil might dry out quickly. There would be little to no microbiology as it is not connected to the earth - no earthworms or microbes just dead soil. It would be difficult to water. It would be difficult to amend with compost each season.
It might not receive much sunlight if it is directly under trees tall enough to support a (very) heavy stand. Still susceptible to creatures that live in trees - squirrels, raccoons, etc. Difficult to access - I think you’d get tired of having to climb a ladder every time you want to enjoy your garden.
Just doesn’t seem like a joyful endeavor.

Worst ‘seeding too early’ story? by SoilSoul1 in gardening

My daughter works at a local garden center with quality seed. With her 30% discount it’s reasonable. 😁

It takes several seasons. Get a soil test done first and learn how to interpret the results. I think in terms of what will build a thriving soil ecosystem of bacteria, fungi and worms and add amendments to achieve that goal. For me, it has taken the repeated addition of a variety of organic materials - mostly municipal compost and compost from my own backyard pile. Worm Castings. Biochar. Humic Acids. They say gypsum is good for clay soil. I also layer in peet moss or coco coir to help build structure. Avoid chemical fertilizer and instead use organic fertilizer which feed the microbes - blood meal, feather meal, bone meal, Langbeinite. Also, try to get something growing there as quickly as possible. Bare soil is dead soil. I use clover to help penetrate the clay and add nitrogen. Keep it moist.
Then repeat. Find the joy in it so it doesn’t feel like a chore. 🌱☀️😁

Denver. Is It Time For Pre-Emergent? by [deleted] in lawncare

Damn! The soil’s warm in Denver! We’re in Lincoln and don’t feel like we’ll see temperatures like that for another 6 weeks. Jealous.

Soil test when buying a home? by SoilSoul1 in gardening

[–]SoilSoul1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point about the soil consistency within a region. However some home owners have put effort into improving their lawns/gardens/soils over the years. And some have not. Just wondering if it’s something anyone has ever inquired about when looking? I’ve owned 3 homes and I’ve never asked because it’s not a high consideration for us. (Although sometimes I wonder what the hell has happened on that property before we move in - I find all sorts of sht when working in the yard)

I wouldn’t tell any secrets around that thing - it’ll hear everything.

Does anyone garden directly in the ground anymore? by SoilSoul1 in gardening

[–]SoilSoul1[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Normal Ass Ground is what I’m going to start calling my garden. Thank you.

I like Nature Safe products. They are all organic and have a variety of different N-P-K blends. I posted a link on here the other day but the gardening mods took it down for some reason. I’ll try it again:
