Yes, a gardener who knows how to work with living natural soil is more of an artist than a scientist, but it is a really different paradigm than the one that is most popular now, a product of the indoor school, which wants to control all the small parameters, sterile substrates for a careful measurement of the nutrients that you want to put in. Living soils, on the other hand, require something closer to the intuitive than the quantifiable, but in that intuitive there is a logic of cooperation with a series of entities outside of us, and also It requires a certain acceptance of the fragility of our expectations and of what we cannot control. It's not better or worse, they are just different paradigms. What is true is that heavy clay soil is a pain in the ass to work with, it requires enriching it, aerating it, etc., however it pays off in the long run. And if I die now I may be a failure in everything else, but at least I received bad soil and I improved it and now there is a new layer of enriched soil, a legacy for new generations that may justify my existence.oh i would try the laos mango if u get a bit of spare room and if i was you , haha
that stuff is really nice man ,
the vigor of laos , and slightly more developed looking flowers ,
with lots of resin and some really nice highs among them ...
Its important to remember cannabis is a very diverse plant ,
not all plants are equal , because not all seeds are the same as each other
its really one of the joys of growing it too , you never quite know how its going to finish up,m
unless you are growing cuttings ,, but they even vary depending on location , climate , soil type etc ..
i really prefer growing directly in the ground too man ,
i just dont know why most grows we see are in pots ,
theres no need for it in many cases , unless its essential of course
and yes the soil is alive , full of microbes and all manner of insects , larvae , worms ,teeming with beneficial organisms and bacteria, fungi etc
, i only grow or have grown in pots if i absolutely had too for some reason ,
otherwise i plant into the soil ,
ive worked some garden beds for a few decades now , they are excellent to grow anything in ,
im about to till one of the oldest ones over , just finished adding some of the red basalt soil from down the road , it seems to have what we lack what in our granite soils , so no doubt will be of some benefit ....
