Was Just Wonder'n If Its Cool To Mix All The Left Overs From Other Plants And Mix It In My Soil, leaves, stems ect... thank's oh and does music really help out ur plants, and what kinda music would plants preffer?
 
I'm a newb at this... But i would say, it's probably a bad idea. First, it could encourage the spread of any diseases that are on the old plants, and if you don't compost the plant matter first, it could encourage the growth of fungus and bacteria that could be harmful.
why not just make some hash?
 
didnt think about that... well i have a male that ima bout to kill and was gonna chop it all up and mix it with the dirt.. so i asked before i did so... and i plan on make'n hash when my females are done with.. thanks bro
 
i wouldnt mix them in untill they become compost. so make a little pal put all your clipping in there and you daily left over food and toss it around. it will rot in no time and be great for your garden. you can even put in some earth worms who will eat the shit up quick and the casting well there is nothing better
 
awesome info,, thanks again bro... oh yea one last thing... egg shells? white one or the farm brown ones? i figure the brown ones.... but thanks again homie's
 
Yea eggshells are great just take a pencil and poke a hole in an organic egg. Then stick a straw in there and suck everything out real good. Viola eggshells!

Peace,
IF
 
If you got a male, the best thing you can do is put that MF'r in the garbage. I don't think you wanna EVER get any part of a male anywhere near your female plants. Unless of course you want your females to have balls.

The color of the egg doesn't matter at all. The majority of the shell (95%) is calcium carbonate. 'Brown eggs' just happen to be pigmented by a thin layer of protoporphyrin.

And males can be composted just fine. Hopefully you caught it before the pollen sacs were fully developed and releasing pollen, in which case you especially dont have anything to worry about.

barump bump! That for sure need to be said. Eggsactly as Egghead would say. The only difference between white eggs and brown eggs is the color of the fuckin chicken that laid it.

So If I like dark meat should I grow dark eggs?.... or does it just apply to the feathers? Hmmm this has really got me thinking... Do I smell chicken shit?

Peace,

I'm new to this, so I could be completely wrong. But what I think I learned in a horticulture class was that if there's anything in the soil that isn't already composted, the bacteria in the soil will start to break it down, and that process requires a lot of nitrogen from the soil, that could otherwise be usable by, and extremely necessary for, the plant.

Sorry for all of the commas, lol.
 
I highly suggest everyone put this IndicaFucktardhole on their ignore list (if you haven't already), to save your fingers some scrolling capacity.

AFAIK, this is at least partially true. Different species of microbes as well as other soil biota (not just bacteria) vary in exactly what role they play in the nutrient cycle and to what capacity. Of course, it would be ideal to let materials thoroughly decompose into sweet, rich, finished compost before incorporating into potting soil. The materials have to decompose, because the nutrients within them are locked up in forms that are not usable by plants. But, there will always be some organic matter in the soil that remains pending further decomposition, and there should always be soil biota working on such matter.
Some bacteria of significant importance are capable of 'fixing' nitrogen directly from the atmosphere and turning it into a usable organic molecule. These and other kinds of microbes are considering symbiotic, they benefit by receiving carbohydrates from the plant and also assimilate some of the nutrients into things like proteins for themselves. So long as there is enough nitrogen available, the bacteria wont 'steal' it from the plants. Later on when these bacteria die or are consumed and excreted, they too will decompose and nourish the plants.
 
Just weighing in on the egg thing...

All eggs are supposed to be brown. Back in the day, they discovered that they could feed something to the chickens that turns their eggs white. Thats why if you buy any kind of 'natural' or 'organic' or 'farm fresh' eggs, they are always brown. It's true, just most people are too young to know and only have known white eggs.
