This will be a home for all things related to the cultivation of cannabis. The preferred focus here will be organic and sustainable growing methods, but any cannabis growers or growers-to-be are welcome!

The moderator and community creator here is in a legal cannabis state. It is therefore assumed that everyone sharing photos and info about their grows is also doing so legally. If you're not, then keep that to yourself. Any mention of actively conducting a cannabis grow illegally will be removed. This is to protect our instance admin, and will be a zero-tolerance policy.

Happy growing!

Your goal is a noble one. There is a lot of misinformation that flies around in horticulture and permaculture, but you do a really nice job of presenting accurate info (which is rare).

Thanks man, I appreciate hearing that from you.

I don't use manure composts at all for our commercial crops, just plant-based - there's just too much of a risk of human pathogens if it's not aged or composted thoroughly. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if someone got ill from something I produced.

For my personal stash tho, I do collect manure from my neighbor's free-range cattle pastures and let it age for a year or two before mixing into my garden. I've never bothered with getting my personal garden spaces' soil tested. Maybe I should next time.
