if possible native soils would be ideal with organic cycling of nutes and green manure crops for added structure...................
for myself this is whats missing in most of todays gardens.........why was the ganja of the 60's-70's so much better......?.....grown with few if any additives in native soils under the sun and varieties that had naturally/geographically developed over generations while not being bastardized by the greed of modern man...................
ganj on........
barefoot's got it right..that's why the old time mex tasted so great..
everything is chem fed and even the organic chit isn't native soil..
now it's all about profit and growing big..
back in the day seeded pot was the norm and it was damn good and cheap coming up from mexico and south america..why was so good?..because it never been messed with, no cross breeding and adapted to it's location..
unfortunately many of us have bills to pay..so we grow what the masses want but now with all of this legalization crap coming about it's going to get even worse..it's going to become industrialized, controlled by local, state, federal agencies and corporations....
I'm guilty..I use ocean forest, perlite, california mix and some local compost..friggin mountain side is hard as rock..can't get any deeper then 2 feet and getting to old to dig..I can't afford a back hoe and even if I could there's no way to get it down there..been using more and more smart pots..
just like with fine wines here in northern california close to the coast with micro climates I think small growers over time will make a comeback..
look at it this way..would you rather eat a greenhouse or indoor chem grown tomato or one just picked from your back yard in the middle of september grown in decent native soil..
