I only give this out for informational purposes. I do not condone growing anything prior to looking into your own Municipalities laws on cultivation nothing you see here is for sale and it's fully legal to grow in my state now. Let's get into it What's up guys? It's Z here again to show you my again of its grow and this week's episode I want to be going over my mulch and cover crop in top dressing situation yet again And this one it'll just kind of be a briefing But I'm gonna try to go just a little bit into some of the ideologies that I utilize and how I have different worms working different layers and how I have You know my own regenerative cycle so check it out guys. I'm even accidentally growing tomatoes from my compost bin So when I compost everything I throw in all my old stuff from my garden and from my indoor garden and outdoor So sometimes you end up with some tomatoes in there I ended up accidentally germinating some tomato seeds and I just let them grow and I ended up yielding tomatoes They were actually really delicious, but we'll get into that later. So my basic system for picking out a strain is As you know is I kind of write off in different notes as I smell through them and each time I smell something very unique And if one keeps hitting me, I'll just keep putting a tag on it and writing something on it And then the one with the most stars or the most stickers on it basically ends up being though Usually the keepers so I usually have several that have multiple stickers on them or have Something noted that was very distinct and those will be the ones that I then picked from for my winners But as you can see here my tomato plant was doing pretty good. I couldn't believe it, bro I like yielded like Multiple handfuls of tomatoes. I mean it wasn't like a huge yield, but I got a handful of tomatoes like three or four times And me and my boy Jesse are gonna try them out here Yeah, cuz it won't make it through the next cycle I Could take a clone of it and try to put it outside It's what we do around here So I brought them over to the kitchen. I diced these things up. They were almost a little green They were very rich and yeah, they're very flavorful. I just put a tiny tiny bit of salt on them delicious So first part of my top dressing as you guys know is gonna be that pumice stone and that's gonna make sure that you add some Airation before you compact everything on top of that layer You want to make sure that you have enough space that's gonna give everything enough water and Before you get into any top dressing or any dust or any rock dust or anything You want to make sure you wear proper ventilation and that's why I wanted to show that I'm wearing a mask and You know everyone has an N95 leftover don't kid around I know you got one left over from the pandemic. So just dig one out It doesn't matter if you reuse it. They're reusable You know, it's just keeping the dust out from your mouth and your lungs and that's gonna prolong your health We're working with organic materials, but that doesn't mean that dust particles aren't gonna harm you And so anything that's a fine particle fine dust you should always be wearing a face mask for Another thing that I like to do is then recycle all of my old Big stems all of those big stems. That's why I grow big plants not just kidding, but Part of the benefit of growing those big plants is I get to recycle all those stems back into the soil and What it does is it protects all this life as you can see here. I have a Small overturned pile of soil here and you can see the warm Warm activity you got the red wigglers working around on the top layer And then if I was to dig deeper I would actually go and find my night crawlers that I've told you about and so what happens is the red Wigglers are good at composting the most fresh material So they'll take that stuff from the top like the dead leaves all that dead material and turn that into a partially digested You know outtake and then from that the Night crawlers are the ones that actually dig deep tunnels from down below So they're gonna make sure that the pots keep air-rated and Maintain this proper moisture level and so they're gonna come up and take down the partially digested material from the red wigglers And then break that down even further thus creating human acids much quicker than one warm could alone and the Red wigglers wouldn't necessarily work without the method that I'm using my cold composting So the things that I compost outside Include fruits veggies. I have a full video on my whole regenerative process So you should check all that out guys everything that I'm talking about has a more in-depth video basically about it So if you haven't seen it just check it out as you can see the whole point of it is to make a constantly thriving Ecosystem I have my ceilium always alive in my pots I have different micro-ezy that stays alive on the different cover crop roots which enables it so that I don't have to add More micro-ezy each time I Transplant every now and then I will just to ensure that it's present But for the most part as long as you maintain cover crop alive in the pot Then you're gonna always have micro-ezy alive in the pot and so you're not going to have to Add any and that's the beauty of nature guys, you know They make everything is a soul to make us think that we need more than we need But the truth is everything that we need is around us and we've been programmed to throw everything away That's why our forests are Falling you know all of those scraps that we throw away into the food should all be composted I only eat organic food scraps and I try to make more smoothies and stuff like that and that enables me to have a Constantly cycle to add to my compost bin and For the most part guys that's really it. So it's really a simple process Just follow along and you guys can make some fire too. I know that you guys have it in you and just so you know I just launched these organic cotton t-shirts. These are all made You know no sweatshops. They're all made sustainably and they're all With the with the future in mind guys So 10% of all the proceeds are gonna go to different charities related to the design and Yeah, if you just want to support the page and support me while I get going I still have a lot of different projects that I'm on the works You know, it's gonna be a while before they launch because they still are in testing and Some things might never launch so yeah, it's just how it goes So a great way to support me and to help me being able to give you guys this free knowledge would be to you know Support me by grabbing a couple t-shirts or grabbing a few t-shirts for your buddies I will be launching the hoodies very soon and I'll also get beanies up there. I did a project I mean I did a test run. I kind of messed up the logo or graphic So I'm gonna have to redo that and then once I get the beanie down Then I'm gonna launch those and I'm super stoked to just have you guys's support I'm really grateful for all the followers that you guys have recently added and so if you're new here Thank you for watching and You know if you have any questions, please leave them down below Chances are I may have already made a video that answers it so definitely scroll through see if you see anything that catches your eye or Answers any questions that you already have and then be sure to ask any more and I'll try to make a video specifically to answer your question Or I'll answer it in depth in the comments.
