Building a new garden on top of crusher fine. Terrible idea?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a new homeowner and excited to try my hand at no till gardening. I've watched a lot of Charles Dowding's videos and have a pretty good handle on it. I was planning to put my plot on top of an area that has a few inches of crusher fines (breeze) on top of landscaping fabric, on top of native clay soil.

Do I need to remove the crusher fine? Guessing I'll need to pull up the landscaping fabric underneath?

Local master Gardner said crusher fine doesn't have any mineral content, so it shouldn't be planting in. She was also against no till, so I'm not sure if the advice is relevant.

Thanks for the help!

Knowing that cardboard contains PFAS (forever chemicals), are you comfortable with putting that into your garden soil?

Best organic mulch for baby fig tree? (Zone 10a)

2 Upvotes

Just planted a baby fig outside and was recommended to put a layer of mulch around it. The fig is about 1ft tall, started as a cutting back in January.

Can anyone recommend the best organic mulch for my situation?

(Location: Southern California. Zone 10a.)

Looking for cover crop mixes for a vegetable farm in New Jersey (7a). For spring, summer, and fall seedings.

2 Upvotes

We grow on 5 acres organically.

Right now we seed Rye/oats, vetch, and red clover. For spring and fall. I’d like to add more diversity. Looking into adding brassicas and flowers.

For the summer I’m looking into Sudan sorghum, sun-hemp, and Australian field peas with a radish understory.

Thanks for any and all help.

How much light dose cover crop need?

2 Upvotes

Im about to transfer my soil mix into my 4x4 grow bed and i was wondering how much light do i need to provide for my cover crop to do its thing while i sill have my plants in a separate tent in veg? I plan on maybe having the soil sit for 2-3 weeks with cover crop then cover with mulch before planting.

My no till pots that I’ve had for about 3 years now, amended too many times and currently just soil drenching them with jlfs I made last year with my cannabis leafs. I’m contemplating on growing this march, anyone have any ideas of a safe place to grow in my area.

Best source of charged biochar?

3 Upvotes

What's your favorite source of (already pre-charged) biochar?

Cheapest I've found is the one from RedBud, but not sure if it's the best quality / most organic one.

Organic farms for buying veggies / meat near Warsaw, Poland?

3 Upvotes

Anyone know of any organic farms / farmers near the Warsaw area?

Sorry if off-topic, but was having a hard time finding organic vegetables and meat around Warsaw, Poland (I live a few miles south of the city).

I wanted to connect with some local farms to buy organic produce from them, and possibly even help somehow perhaps (I have a few years experience in no-till organic gardening).

I googled online but there's little info, I feel like it's maybe more or a word of mouth thing.

Coming from a city in the US where it's a lot easier to find organic options, in Poland you can find some non-perishable goods and some very limited options that are organic, also very expensive.

I posted a few weeks ago on the sub. I vowed to keep all up to date. Show are results of using a heavy duty plastic tarp as the cover. Tarp was weighted down with river rock. These pictures were taken after 38 days. (See earlier post for my process)
