A tip for outdoor growing

[built2spill]

Growing outdoors can have it's ups and downs as well as it's itches and scratches and molds and fungi. I always carry a box of bleach wipes in my back pack. The wipes are great for removing the oil from the poison ivy, oak, or sumac you may have brushed against while crashing through the woods. It also kills off the mold spores from your hands when you remove moldy bud from an otherwise healthy plant.

Keeping your hands sterile and clean while tending your plants is a important part of outdoor gardening. The oil on Poison Ivy can stay active for up to a year. You don't want this stuff touching your plants and possibly getting into yours or others lungs.

Removing a moldy bud as soon as you see one is pretty standard to try and prevent the spread of more mold. I always cover the bud with a plastic bag before cutting off the affected bud. This helps keep the spores from spreading to unaffected areas. Cleaning hands immediatly after ensures that you wont spread the spores to anything else you touch.

Any other tips?

Need a tip with outdoor grows. In your neighborhood (Lon/lat wise) & outdoors. Last year had a bunch of Hermies & do not wish to repeat. Would show ya me grow but you could check it out on my posts or pictorial. Changed up with nute administration & now with the heat wave hitting us hoping not to get burned. Peace

Saw this on last trip nw. Building an out door growing bed, use a backhoe or excavator, dig six to eight foot deep trench. Full with old logs half full, gather forest til(top three inches of forest floor) add to trench, top with mixture of rice hulls and compost. Plant a large female, and cage, cages were four cattle panels wired together to form cube 5'x5'x12'tall, was told as plant grows to height it is supported by bamboo cross supports placed horizontally. This way you can climb the cage to service the plant. Plants were 8' on the fourth, and just starting to bud. Sorry no pics, not that crazy, these guys are serious.
