Cannabis Cultivation & Xeriscaping, an Eco-Friendly Match Made In Cali
Cannabis Cultivation & Xeriscaping, an Eco-Friendly Match Made In Cali
If you have a Medical Marijuana card, in a State approved grow area like California, then you’ll enjoy Xeriscaping. Xeriscaping (dry landscaping) is a water conservation effort that lends itself quite well to Cannabis cultivation methods. An added plus of eco-friendliness, gets two green-thumbs up from this Cali gardener.
All 50 States have some type of water conservation plan in effect, and drought-ridden areas will no longer tolerate water waste. Therefore, by planting drought resistant plants indigenous to your area, you’ll have plants that inter-crop nicely with your Cannabis-
Let’s say that you drop the shrub, 4-wing salt bush, into your garden. Not only have you added an off green bush that rivals the shape and look of Cannabis, but in a year of only 7 inches of rain, this bush will be thriving.
Another feature of Xeri gardens is the deep watering technique for outdoors. In my backyard garden, all of my plants of importance have a soil basin around them. About every 7-10 days, I give the plants a long slow soaking with a drip hose. This encourages the roots to travel deep down into the soil. Remember, Marijuana has a “taproot” system, especially designed to seek out ground levels of moisture. Huge Cannabis Sativa’s can get their own drink of water if you’ve deep watered properly. A mulch around the drip line aids moisture retention, and mulching should always be incorporated into Xeriscape plans. The over-all water conservation efforts of Xeriscaping, should also remind newbies to Cannabis cultivation that Marijuana is a weed, and requires very little water once it’s knee high.
So in the West, South-west, or any drought-ridden spots of the country – do your homework. Seek native plants of your State that love the sun. You can Google “Herbaceous Plants Suitable for Sunny, Dry Conditions”, or Xeriscaping in _______(your State). Ignore the thirsty one’s, and keep the shade for the shady plants. Deep water when you water, and mulch all around to help retain moisture. Cannabis Cultivation & Xeriscaping, Palm Springs, California – here I come!

A Man of Substances $9.99 When Gerry McCarthy hit the headlines in 1996, he was the man at the center of a five million dollar dope bust, the largest grow-op takedown in Canadian history. But when he hit the big city as a small-town teenager many years before, he was as green as grass. The story in between is a unique and winding journey through the vibrant, revolutionary years of the twentieth century. A Man of Substances looks unblinkingly at McCarthy’s invention, reaction, and folly over a life on the less sober side of the law. This memoir explores McCarthy’s journey, from a guitar slung across his shoulders to handcuffs around his wrists. In between are the exploits of one of Canada’s marijuana cultivation pioneers, at turns resourceful and rash, sincere and sardonic, hardworking and hammered. He is paperboy and pot dealer, secret keeper and raconteur. He’s a devoted suburban family man with a pound of weed in the second car. Both entertaining and educational, A Man of Substances reflects the times and the culture of the world in which he grew up and explores that world’s folly and its shadows with equal candor. |

Concurrent Growing of Green Manure Crops in Direct Seeded Rice $123.6 Used – Rice cultivation has become less profitable in recent years due to increasing production cost and plateauing yield levels. Although direct seeding of rice in the low lands is a cost effective and labour saving method of crop establishment, excessive weed growth, leading to high production costs and low productivity, is a major constraint and it dramatically reduces the nutrient use efficiency. Scarcity and high costs of organic manures also constrain rice productivity. Concurrent growing |
