Heirlooms are old lineages of plant varieties, typically defined as being passed down through generations for at least 50 years. Similar to a family heirloom, these types of vegetables are like antiques. Their genetics have been preserved from the past. Heirloom tomatoes like ‘Brandywine’ and ‘Cherokee Purple’ are among the most popular heirloom seeds. All heirlooms are open-pollinated or self-pollinated, so they are also ideal for seed-savers. Hybrid Taking the best qualities from two variations of the same plant creates a hybrid of that plant.

To summarize, the biggest challenge to growing organic potatoes is fertilizing and pest and disease control. Due to the nature of organic substances, it is more difficult to quantify the amounts needed to perform a certain task, but that does not mean it is impossible. The benefits of growing potatoes organically become apparent when you taste them. If you want to enjoy highest quality cannabis, then it‘s going to be organic herb. But growing cannabis organically can be a challenge. We explored organic farming techniques and put together a small guide. For our outdoor cannabis grow, we’re choosing a natural and organic route. The reason is simple: Many connoisseurs consider the final results from an organic garden more satisfactory. Your weed will be tastier, more aromatic, and will be oozing with resin! Small gardens don’t require complex irrigation systems, but you do need regular water access. Keep a hose and spray nozzle handy at all times, especially when germinating seeds. You can also set up drip irrigationor soaker hoses on timers to save water and effort. Overhead irrigation (ie. sprinklers) is typically not recommended because it covers a large area and promotes more weeds. Controlling Pests OrganicallyUnfortunately, we are never the only ones who want to eat crisp lettuce or sweet carrots from the garden. There willinevitably be pests. Part of gardening is rolling with the punches and working withnature rather than against it. There’s no use in dousing your garden in pesticides to get rid of all the pests and potentially harm your family or the local ecosystem in the process. Thankfully, there are countless strategies for organic pest control in the garden. Intro to Biocontrol Ladybugs are an example of biological control as they eat harmful aphids. First of all, it produces a better product. Sure, cannabis plants grown with non-organic fertilisers like Top Grow produce big, dense, and potent buds. And when given a proper flush, these buds taste and burn well too. However, most cannabis connoisseurs will notice a stark difference in the taste, burn, and sometimes even effect of bud that’s been grown organically. Yes, worm poop! Amending soil with worm castings is one of the oldest and most effective organic farming methods. You don’t need your own worm farm to get worm castings (although you could), as they are also available from gardening shops and grow shops. Compost can take anywhere from two months to a few years to be ready, depending obviously on the amount of soil you’re preparing and the ingredients you're adding to it. However, preparing soil for a few cannabis plants should only take a few months. Also, you can turn your compost every three days or so to help speed up this process.

Hardening-Off: When the seedling has grown to 2-5” tall and the roots have filled out the cell, prepare to transplant by slowly transitioning them outdoors. For example, you could cover them with row cover on the porch for a few nights before planting. This process lets the fragile baby plants adjust to outdoor nighttime temperatures before they graduate to the garden.

Since weeds tend to grow much faster than vegetables, the best way to curb their spread is to remove them while still young. Hoe them out with a wire weeder to prevent them from overcrowding and choking out your vegetables.

To start your own compost, you’ll need a compost bin or bed, which you can either build yourself or buy from a gardening store. It’s recommended you start off your compost with a good layer of organic potting mix and some roundworms to help break down the organic waste and aerate your soil. Biological control, or biocontrol, is the act of controlling pests using natural enemies and predators. A few popular biocontrol agents include ladybugs, parasitic wasps, and spiders. These predatory insects feast on pests and eagerly multiply when lots of pests become available. Hilling is the process of covering the base of the potato plant with soil to encourage the growth of more tubers. Start hilling your plants when they reach a height of about 6 inches. Use a hoe or rake to mound soil around the base of the plant, leaving only the top few leaves exposed. Repeat this process every few weeks until the plants are fully grown. Hilling also helps to prevent sunburn on the potatoes and keeps them from turning green. Pests and diseasesWhen your beds are marked, we recommend adding a layer of compost on top of each bed to raise them up above the ground. You can also use the lasagna method below. If your soil is already of good quality, you can simplybroadfork, rake, and then prepare for planting!
