@natureboygrower Taking care of your health is never a bad idea. Wearing a respirator and preferably doing the "cake packing" and initial washing outside or in the garage is a good idea. Once it is wet it is safe, only the dust is harmful.

@Beachwalker I never suggested he actually sue his parents... The letter is referred to as a "demand" letter and lawyers write hundreds of these a year and they have nothing to do with actually going to court... It is meant as a BLUFF... Actually it was meant as a joke to be honest... Jesus...

@fartoblue Yes, keep using the silica. What silica product are you using? A pre-mix (Armor-Si, Rhino (for)skin, Silica Blast, etc…), AgSil-16H, or Grow-Sil? If you are using a pre-mix or AgSil-16H (same thing), then you will want to add this at the beginning when mixing your fertilizer, but...

@gwheels It's a bluff to buy him some time while he looks for a new place to live, that's all... This way his parents don't interfere with him trying to make a life for himself. He's not going to actually sue his parents... What version of the USA do you live in? Letters like this are drafted...

@natureboygrower @Go go n chill @DemonTrich How is using DE, and celite any different from using filter paper? I am trying to figure out what the purpose of the celite 545 is other than as a hype product that just uses a lot of vague buzz words like "take the clarity up" and "much clearer."...

@2blunts2cheef After this invasion of privacy you need to draft a rental agreement, which makes the terms of your stay in your parents home very clear. Make sure they know they crossed a line... That you are an adult and you need to be taken seriously. Make sure to refer to them as Mr. and...

@2blunts2cheef Remind your mom that opening someone else's mail is a felony. What follows is pretty harsh, but so is what your parents are doing to you, so you decide if you want to proceed with it... You do so at your own risk... If it backfires, don't come bitching to me... If you put the...

@meangreengrowinmachine If you ever want a serious boost of energy try eating a whole banana (or two), that is a boost. p.s the peel ruins the taste of the banana and your tongue feels weird for while, but it's cheaper and safer than one of those caffeine or guarana energy drinks.

@meangreengrowinmachine No, I am not trolling you... If you are using soil and it's outdoors, by all means chop up the banana peels into small pieces and add them directly to the soil as a side dressing. Or you can cut them up, dry them and keep them in baggies in the fridge or freezer until...

@meangreengrowinmachine All you're missing in there is some some banana peel ash... To this I would seed the soil with some white clover for about a month or so (depending on the temperature) prior to planting the clones and then just before planting the clones I would till the green manure...

@Serverchris Pallets are the way to go! Freight is still reasonable even with lift-gate fees, which they will sometimes wave if your order is big enough. I wish growers could/would form co-ops and take advantage of things like this... But everyone is rightfully paranoid. They could get so many...

@shuluby That's cool! The company probably wrote off the product and shipping as a loss on their taxes, plus it would have cut into their profit for them to pay to have the items shipped back and nothing pisses a customer off more than having to pay for the post offices mistakes. So, in the...

@MR.NICE.GUY.1990 Organic soil is "the best" because it is renewable. Which makes it awesome! I wish I could do the organic route but it's not in the cards for me at the moment.

@MR.NICE.GUY.1990 Exactly!!! We quickly go from seeing our left over food as "edible" to "gross trash" and with some simple sorting and a little casual regular maintenance that "trash" can be worth a lot. Especially if you incorporate worms, insect frass, green manures that fix nitrogen (like...

@ShLUbY That's a good idea, but even under a tarp the compost still dries out. I tried composting in a "bin" made of cinder blocks with a tarp on top, but the wind either rips the tarp off or just dries everything out anyway. It's great for drying foods, especially in the summer, because things...

@coreywebster Thank you! I am trying to be helpful. We should all be happy growers!

@Serverchris That's not a bad upfront price, but the shipping is another $49, so in total it comes out to like $104. Ouch!!!

@Dr. Who Good point about yeast on fruit and in the air... A really easy sourdough starter called a "biga" uses crushed grapes mixed with flour and water (nothing else) to form a pre-ferment. The yeast comes from the grape skins as well as from the air, and the yeast is fed by the sugar in the...

@Wetdog The price for the kelp isn't bad, but the shipping is crazy!!! I hate when the shipping costs more than the item. The calcium nitrate I use is like that, the shipping is almost 1.5 times as much as the calcium nitrate, but it lasts a while and it is consistent. I'd love to do the...

Geez, I just re-read my last two posts and I sound like an arrogant prick!!! Please know that's not how I intended it to come out... I tend to be "matter of fact" through text and it comes off snobby and prickish and it is something I hate about myself. Just so you know.
