Mulch in your area

Good morning!!

Just wanted to share a little advice I picked up this morning.

If you’re gardening indoors or out, mulch can be a good option to help your containers and beds retain moisture, extend the time between waterings and lower the risk of extreme dry backs. I didn’t know that city resources sometimes offer cheap or even free options for mulches and composts.

For instance, the city of Newport News offers mulches of different sizes and compost for prices ranging from $2/yard to $12/yard and free rough cut mulch to city residents who self pickup!

Hope this helps!! Post and show off your hauls or show us how your gardens are doing!

Second attempt at LABS

I’ve been messing with some KNF practices and got good results from my first FPJ. This is my second attempt to make LABS, the first I used milk and kefir and it didn’t do much lol

This time is just rice wash and 2% from lidl. Pretty stoked to make some bokashi!

What ways do you all utilize LABS?

Here’s a link for those interested to try

Small container training

Been growing these smaller container plants as part of a “bonsai” growalong in a discord I’m in. It’s my first time training like this for fun.
The larger plant is aptx ((CDLC x Hubbabubbahaze) x Conan kush) and the smaller is either mango krush or mango smile x zamaldelica express. I got my tags mixed up lol
