What did you accomplish today?

[Johnei]

I think fish smell is worse than manure! uugghh

 

[Chunky Stool]

I fertilized my garden this morning while standing downwind, so now I stink like fish, yum. I'm pretty sure I lost some sales for the coffee shop when I went. At least it wasn't manure...

I bought a bunch of Alaska fish fertilizer (2-2-2) in a hose end sprayer bottle because it was on sale. Thought it would work well on the lawn -- and it does.
BUT... it smells *really* bad, and lingers for several hours.
Now I know why it was on sale.
The store recently advertised 4th of July sales and they are now giving away the fertilizer as door prizes...

I use the Alaska 5-1-1 and Neptunes fish and seaweed 2-3-1 with a generic hose end sprayer. The Neptunes seems to stink more. It was 80 when I was spraying and my neighbor was bitching about the smell. My house is closed up with the AC going, smells fine to me.

Leave dishes of strong compost tea with animal things in it for smell attraction and they'll eat it and get microbes in the gut kill them inside out.

did i just type that?

I was never here.

(probably better to let it get nasty anaerobic as well, grow some more helpers in there for this purpose)

(EXIT_SUCCESS);

WOW....you seem to know all about them rats I speak of.

I use the alaska fish fert .....my brother in law says cat fish go nuts for bait dipped in that shit ((literally)).....I use it on pretty much everything ....it's cheap and works good .....besides the god awful smell of course.....last year my wife thought something was dead under our house LMAO ....and me and little Inda were fertilizing our vegetable garden last year ....I said (((bubba wana smell something crazy))) he says yes ......shook the piss out of the bottle .....his reaction was priceless.....lol.....Oh my God dad, the plants don't eat poop .....that's some rank shit though

 

[TacoMac]

Mowed the lawn, trimmed a few bushes, weed eated, trimmed the driveway and walkway, replaced a tile in the kitchen floor and re-caulked the master bathroom.

Now I'm sitting down with a cold beer, reading some bullshit here, and then it's off to Fallout 4 for a while.

Hope you are composting that or mulching your beds.

Shit, a piece of heavy cloth tied on a hook and a jar of that stuff, probably don't even need bait.

What's a good mulching tool I am pondering.. besides having a $100,000 truck with one on board for trees...
hmmmmmmm

For most yard waste, I dump it on the lawn and go over it with the lawn mower. Any leaves, sticks and crap thinner than my thumb gets mowed up for mulch. Bigger branches I manually break or cut into 1-2" pieces and mix into my compost piles. The big logs ands trunks I pile up and then collect the more rotted wood towards the bottom as it builds and mix that into the compost. I've been looking for a chipper that can do up to 3", but they seem to jump in price going from a capacity of 2" up to 3".

 

[Johnei]

Lawnmower! cool man. thanks. good idea. I'll crush that shit chop it up, so much weeds to cut down, so much grass, so much mulching is necessary for this to never happen again.

Can you mulch big huge weeds, or that's just askin for trouble?
Or mulch the weeds, then different wood chip mulch on top? ok plan?
ANC suggests just chop knock the weeds over and cover with mulch.
(Last questions I promise.. lol.. newbie mulcher on the hunt for good mulch info.)

 

[ANC]

It takes courage to go my way, but every time you turn over the soil you screw it up a little further.
You should always have at least a cover crop and mulch it over when you can't let it go too wild.
When you dig it over, you expose fresh weed seeds. Be proactive and plant cover crops that you can accept.
Purple clover is quite pretty.

 

[Johnei]

cover crop and mulch it over

this part, u lost me please explain.

when the cover crop grows up, cut and mulch that back onto the floor?

Thanks ANC!

 

[ANC]

Yep, or if you need to suppress it more long-term you can mulch with bark chips. Just throw it down thick enough. Letting all the cover crop rot underneath.

The big stuff also makes good biochar

Wood chips are high in carbon , keep mulch on top of soil never mix it in
