Don't see no mention of Cane Farmers

Pointless link unless someone can get behind the paywall



And it's no secret about the science now coming out now about gylphosate. I'm not defending it. It is what it is.

My issue is with dumbarse statements like this that lacks any truth.

My intention was not to trigger anyone. It's one of the most heavily sprayed crops. May as well avoid it in an organic garden.

How is it "dumbarse" when that is one of the chemicals that can be used to quickly ripen? There's other chemicals used and far more detail, I just didn't have much time. Not claiming to be some sugarcane farming expert, it's just common practice to chemically ripen. Again, sorry that this has triggered you, just joining a conversation.

You're probably right that most Aussie sugarcane farmers naturally ripen their crop, some don't. I guess U just don't know what material ends up in the mulch or compost so caution should be exercised... All I meant to say.

 

[Donothing-garden]

Not sure what this means... I'm only suggesting to find a mulch or compost from crops that aren't sprayed or even certified organic

 

[Indy]

Yep, i'd imagine that'd be the big players using those practices. The smaller fella's just couldn't maintain the costings.

Yeah it's a mega farm practice for sure

There lies the challenge..

Has anyone used the Bardee range of organic fertilizer? I was just reading about it and sounds pretty good

That's the frass @Donothing-garden uses its 100% black soldier fly frass and exoskeletons. That's what I used in my mix too

 

[Pixie]

I might grab some of the slow release stuff off them I think. Looks like something good to add to the soil mix

Yeah, they're Frass is good. We use the "fine granule" grade which works alot faster than the pellet. It's improved in quality a lot over the last 2 years. It's about 4% N if you're formulating a soil mix...

On the topic of mulch
Anyone have experience using the WhoFlungDung from neutrog?

Excellent for getting a layer of mycelium under it .

I’ve noticed in my front yard that has a pine tree, the needles have created a mulch around my pots including a strawberry planter which honestly gets neglected yet the plants haven’t died (though no fruits yet)

Would pine needles work as cannabis mulch indoors?

No I'd use em way!! They are full of pine oil!! Wouldn't be good for plants!

 

[Mellow oldfark]

Neutrog makes kool stuff.

 

[Sedge]

You can mulch with pine needles ..probably best if they are already dry .
