call me the bob ross of the weed game
That's better than the Rick Ross of the Cocaine game .lol
i do dig the "100 black coffins" track from Django Unchained https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg-CSX3i6nk
also a fan of this track "Devil is a Lie" where rick ross just gets his name on the song but JayZ really shines on the 3rd verse imo....

Youtube cycled through to "War Ready" after that video you posted. I haven't heard that one before but I like Jeezy.

i'm building the farm withOUT dump trucks.... doing all in my suburban and a couple small trailers. got a pal or 2 with pickups that are available from time to time for hauling.
local sawmill sells woodchips for 9$ a yard or so.... need about 10 of those and about 30 yards of some local chicken poop compost (25$ per yard when you get 20 yrd truckful)
Time for a diesel and a proper trailer my dude
no, 20 yards will not fit in a pickup bed, lol
one cubic yard is 200 gallons, or 3ft by 3ft by 3ft
the burban is... a working work of art kinda
has nearly 300k miles on it and it's issues are mostly cosmetic
a few year back we spent nearly 90 days camping out of the back of the burban, before settling down at the farm the suburban was my "turtle shell" the traveling home i could always curl up inside of. i traded 1 & 1/4 lb of warehouse herb for it a while back and she hasn't failed me yet (knock on wood)
just finished up cleaning up the seeds made with stardawg ix male, some beautiful piles of beans from this run
\
^ found these crazy ridged seeds in the sour raskal x stardawg ix
also cut some of the later finishing sour bubble crosses; including the sk/jb chem91 and lime cookies bubba
EDIT - looks like im hauling pumice tomorrow!! yay! hopefully 2 x 2yard totes will fit in my buddy's pickup bed.... still may need 2 loads, been anxiously awaiting the pumice to mix soil because this black clay topsoil im using is so damn dense like a super nutrient rich clay. have several bails of peat on hand and just missing that pumice for aeration / drainage material (should provide BOTH)
if i can squeeze in extra trips i'll get some extra chunky compost to add more texture to the soil which should help with drainage via adding structure to soil... irrigation trenches are dug in the yard, beds are tilled and broken; ready to really dig holes and get soil in them

I saw this....
And all I could think of was Ron Paul....
Miles, them seeds look nice and healthy...
i am gunning for this now. seemed like a fun thing to stack on top of all the other stuff going on.
going bananas up in here avi! im so proud of myself for prepping some homestead sized plots and your over here building a farm with dump trucks...

got that fire
feels like i hit the nail on the head with maturity of this batch of seeds
I've been doing the soil transport shuffle this week too. I'm not sure on the weight of pumice, but a tote (2 yards, 54 cubic ft) is 2,900 lbs if it is forest humus.
When I haul topsoil in my 8 ft bed, 2 yards is probably too much, even though it fits. For sure more than the truck is rated for. Look like the Beverly Hillbillies going down the road with too much weight.

pumice is light as hell, just slightly heavier than perlite
hauling dude fell thru today, but not until after i drove the 45 miles to soil yard
so went ahead and purchased the pumice, will be hauled out here tomorrow (assuming some more bullshit doesn't slow things down... again)
called nearly every source for feeds in the area trying to find wheat bran for making kashi.... found none readily available (hard to fucking believe!)
but
found one place that says it has some in a warehouse and will have it ready for me tomorrow morning
for 14$ per 50 lb bag
haven't ever paid more than 12 for 50 lbs unless its organic wheat bran
so that will have to do, but got a deal (20$) on 50lbs of organic camelina meal, going to make some fancy pants bokashi with it
14$ for forty, and 15$ for fifty lbs here on the wheat bran. I made 260 lbs worth that is almost 30 days old now. I like the idea that it can be dried and stored, but plan to use it before it's dry.
Pumice does seem pretty light, but I left a yard outside for a couple months and it put on some water weight. Ended up hauling it in the truck to a creek and rinsed it because I read it can have accumulated salts, not sure if it did or not. Should have rinsed some into a bucket and checked EC probably looking back to save the rinse job.
Avi- where did you find your wolstinite, or however that is spelled. Best I've found is 59$ per 50 lbs of the finer type, picked up semi locally from an industrial chemical company. I would think a ceramic supply place that was big enough would have a better deal, but no luck so far.
Seems to come from back east and the Midwest so it's all shipping because it's 9-12$ per 50lb there.

custom hydro nutrients and buildasoil both sell vansil wollastonite, i think. the super fine stuff
can't recall the price of it off hand, not too expensive tho
ya kashi is nice and versatile like that, some people think you NEED to dry it...
ime fresh is best, if i need more later i'll make more later after i use up what i got
that kashi liquid you are trying to dry out is full of living microbes, i figure why put it to sleep (by drying out) just to wake back up (get wet again)?

Yeah, I saw custom hydro and build a soil had wollastinite, trying to get around the high shipping costs. For 50lbs custom charges 12$ for product and 59$ shipping, buildasoil is 28 product, 28$ shipping, which is the same if I pick it up here.
28$ for 50lbs shipping is okay I guess, but Peaceful Valley for instance has FedEx ground 40 lbs shipping for 14$, seems like any vendor could get that deal. They probably do and mark up shipping.
Hate overpaying for stuff but $ rant over.
I'd agree on the bokash being better fresh/ wetter, it seems like drying it makes it more marketable and easier to handle when bagging for retail sales. Seems like it would clump up eventually and not be as easy to distribute, but maybe not. Nothing a little screening wouldn't fix by sifting.
I'd look for industrial bulk options.
Seems there are many grades going around under just this company alone...

hard to get around freight.... i've found coarser grades of vansil slightly cheaper but i like the super fine shit and im in a rural area so i'm not un-accustomed to paying to get what i need out here
vanderbilt is the manufacturer of the vansil, will call their sales office in california and see if you can get it direct from them or have to go thru a distributor
i guess that drying kashi may increase shelf life... if you are storing it long term
when i distrubute kashi on soil or compost piles i use a small screen to separated it and spread it more evenly.... works good on any of them clumps
