Charles asks…

why is it illegal to grow my own weed?

as it wont effect the cotton industry

GardenersCardiff answers:

Good question, as it is legal in many places served by this forum. In many applications it’s superior to cotton. In most states, a judge and jury would have to be pretty stoned to believe you were growing it to knit a sweater. However the cotton lobbyist on capital hill wouldn’t want it legal. RScott

Donald asks…

growing my own cannabis?

as everybody is growing their own cannabis these days and the war on drugs in this country failed many years ago im am going to grow my own cannabis so i dont have to buy expensive crap weed from scummy unemployed poeple. me and my wife enjoy a nice spiff and have enough room in our spare bedroom for a small growing tent. we are going to amsterdam “again” this year to buy the seeds and would like some general tips on starting our own crop in a small grow tent bought online. please dont comment if you are one of those government robots who have no clue about weed and dont know it is a harmless chill-out substance . thankx guys

GardenersCardiff answers:

Here in UK it is illegal to use or grow cannabis and all the questions on here are read by a security team and you have just told then you want to grow your own cannabis and they have your IP address? Be prepared for a visit from the police, Good Luck

William asks…

How do i grow my own weed from seeds?

So, My friend gave me some seeds the other day and i want to plant them. All i know so far:
plant them outdoors(the best way) around late april.

And thats all i know. haha ): How do i do this! i just need a LIST of everything i need and instructions or videos. ive looked all over the web but cant find how. Also, how big do the plants actually get? ive seen them being as tall as like a normal sized person! WHOAH. haha and also, what do you do after you’ve planted it and its all grown? Because weed, it looks all chopped up and in little peices,how do you get the plant to look like that? PLEASE HELP! ):

GardenersCardiff answers:

Put the seeds in a pot (pun intended) and barely cover them with potting soil. Water well and leave in a sunny location. That sh*t will grow almost anywhere. If you do this, you are breaking the law. It is illegal in almost every area of the US to possess or cultivate cannabis.

Daniel asks…

Has anyone ever grown coffee beans? How long did it take you? Was it worth it to wait to grow them or?

is it better, cheaper and faster to just buy them from the supermarket?
What if I grew them inside or in a greenhouse would that make it do-able?

GardenersCardiff answers:

It is too difficult to grow your own cofee beans here in the states. Not the right soil or climate friend. Plus you would have to grow a few acres of it to get the quality and quanity you need, so your are a slave to the grocery store it seems

Sharon asks…

Indoor Coffee plant watering schedule?

I just purchased a coffee plant from a locally. It appears to be under a year old. I would like some help with the watering schedule and fertilizing schudule for the year. I live in southern ontario Canada. I plan on keeping this plant indoors. Also would like to (one day) harvest my own coffee from it. Please let me know.

Thanks.

GardenersCardiff answers:

I think you’ll find this site very informative http://houseplants.about.com/od/Tropicals/p/Coffee-Growing-Coffee-Plants.htm

It says that you need to try to replicate the humidity found on mountainsides so good luck!

Constant watering and boiling of kettle perhaps?

😀

Ruth asks…

Is it possible for me to travel the country then start my own businesses?

I want to become a nurse and travel the country and where ever I settle down I want to start a few businesses like a maid service and a moving company. My real passion would be a coffee shop or a place for teens to smoke hookah . I would also like to grow medical marijuana and own a dispensary and a smoke shop/ edibles. But i want to settle down on a lot of land. But I feel like I don’t know nearly enough to make it all possible. Im also very interested in real estate. As u can tell I want to retire early and spend most of my life traveling the world. I want to avoid being an employee working the 9 to 5 but I need some advice on all my dreams

GardenersCardiff answers:

It looks like you have lots of things that you want to do and accomplish. Travelling and earning at the same time can be possible. But the things that you mentioned are impossible at this time. You have to carefully plan for it. You know the saying “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” it applies to this kind of situation. Starting up a business is not a joke. You will have to shed money and dedicate time. Not all business ends up being a success. Many fails because they lack the time of planning it well. Take things one at a time. Decide which business do you really want to push through and know if it will be profitable enough and how sure are you that it will be stable so that you don’t end up being bankrupt.

Good luck to your career!

How do you grow hops?

I want to grow my own hops (I live in southeastern Michigan) how would I go about this?

William asks…

Homebrewers: Will my hop rhizomes grow this year?

Last season I planted 6 hop rhizomes to grow my own hops. I planted too late and 5 of the 6 plants didn’t take… no vines, no nothing.
Do I have a chance of them coming up this year, or is it a lost cause? I’m planting new ones this year regardless, but I won’t be able to get some of the varietals I’d like, such as Tettnang or Columbus.
Any input is appreciated.

Cheers!

GardenersCardiff answers:

I think it depends on how bad your winter was, and how lucky you are. Planting anything late is a tricky business. Good luck with the new crop.

Carol asks…

What is the best book to get if I want to start Home Brewing beer?

I want to start Home Brewing in my basement. I live in Wisconsin, and hops and other ingredients are readily available, I also have enough land that I can also grow some of my own grains and hops as well. I love beer, darker the better, and I love the rewards of hard work. Any suggestions will be well rewarded with 2 points, possibly 10.

GardenersCardiff answers:

Hands down, Papazian’s book, already recommended. Marty Nachel’s book Homebrewing for Dummies, isn’t bad either. After you get those two, consider the one from the Seven Barrel Brewery (for the recipes) and Brian Kunath’s book Fearless Brewing (for the tables). You can also get good information from the http://byo.com website.

Linda asks…

Vegans, would you still be vegan even if it became inconvenient for you?

What I mean is if you were suddenly forced to grow your own vegetables and grains (which in order to get enough of, you would be forced to buy a piece of land, plow, fertilize, weed, protect from birds and harvest). Also, if science ever discovers that plants indeed do suffer as much as animals, would you still eat them?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Absolutely NOT! Are you crazy?
I’m not going to dig and plant in the dirt. I might break a nail.
Also, there are bugs and stuff and it’s gross.
I am a avid vegan but if you’re gonna make us work, I would rather get Beefy 5-Layer Burrito from Taco Bell or Jack-in-the-Box Ultimate Cheeseburger .

Paul asks…

weed question……………..?

you know the little seeds that are in the baggies well can you plant that and grow your own plant

GardenersCardiff answers:

Usually, you’re supposed to put it in your butt for 24 hours for fertilization. After that period, your plants will be well on their way to growth! Remove the seeds, and bury them under an apple tree (I’ve found this to be best!). Good luck in your future drug dealing career path!

Ken asks…

is it okay to to allow weed smokers in your house?

When my kids were young, there would be no limits to having their friends over, taking them along on outings, cause thats what parents do. So now your kids are grown (20 with a new baby, now 10 months) but still don’t have an reliable space, not living her own place, no job ( at the time) . A person moves their family away to an area, because financailly can’t afford to stay in an area they feel they were push from ecomically. Now where you moved with your family is quite an distance away, SF to Hayward. Your child is content where thay are gets her out of the streets hanging, with the friends that made you worry…WHO does jave a job, but have an drug dealling baby daddy, she smokes weed constanly (with kids in the car MY GRANDBABY ). Who when comes to visit, and you notice when you come home from work, your house reeks from the smell. You told your adult daughter how you feel, and went so far as being rude to a child youve seen grow up. That helped push your daughter back to area
you moved from. You can’t help feel that person is jealous of the relationship you have with your adult child. Though you’ve tried making her feel content but she tried to move in. You’re comfortable at all with the weed. Wont go away from house. But i cant be in my house 24hrs day. Now the house I got for us as an falimy I need to move, cause my daughter moved in with the friend and dad, brother. She has a job now, but there. Taking care of her child, cause DON”T WANT daycare for child she claims, she doesnt trust it. I can’t seem to get clear to daughter her friend is just using her. Help me find closure, Im pissed, I know my daughter is grown but cant help worry for her and the well-being of my grandbaby.
AM i WRoNG?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Call the authorities on them. That will put an end to that mess. Stick to your guns. -Good luck.

James asks…

What do I make to store my garden tools?

I have 5-6 long handles gardening tools. I need to hang them or make a covered box for them outside, I don’t want to store them outside w/out protection. Not much room in the garage. Any clever ideas out there?

GardenersCardiff answers:

You could make a simple box long enough to hold your gardening tools with a hinged lid. Finish this off with a back on it and convert it to a bench. I would put a few holes in the bottom for drainage of moisture. If you do make it, try to make the lid for the box wider and longer than the box itself so any rain would run off of it and not into it.

Good luck hope it helps

Thomas asks…

Does anyone have any gardening tips?

I have a small garden in my back yard, I live in MI, and we probably want to do sunflowers and cosmos and we are trying to find a vegetable that will grow well. We have tried carrots and corn and they don’t seem to grow well and we don’t want to do cucumbers. Also any other general tips for gardening?? Thanks!!
We tried lettuce too and that didn’t turn out to well either!!

GardenersCardiff answers:

Run, don’t walk, to your nearest library. There are loads of good books for beginning gardeners. I am from England now living in southern Ontario, Canada so I am not familiar with your climate and, therefore, unwilling to get into specifics about particular flowers and plants.

The one thing I would stress is that you MUST have good soil -can’t do a lot without it unless you are growing wildflowers. Once again a good book will help you with this.

Good luck. Hope you begin to enjoy gardening as much as so many of us do.

Ken asks…

any gardening tips for a beginner?

i want to start gardening because there are some really cool flowers and i live up in the mountains in colorado. we have a beatiful 3 story house and a view of the continential divide on one side and estes park on the other but we are missin one thing… COLOR so i want to start gardening. can neone tell me some easy flowers to grow to begin and can you tell me some tips and tricks for gardening??? i would also like to trade seeds via snail mail with people in other states so if u r interested please send me an email at skate.fairy@yahoo.com

GardenersCardiff answers:

The key to successful gardening is good soil. Without it, you won’t grow much. Adding things like compost, manure, peat moss, grass clippings and such, then turn the soil and work the organic materials in to at least 15 inches down. If you like, you can take a soil sample to your local ag extension and they will test it and tell you exactly what you need. Good luck!! Gardening is awesome and addictive and keeps me sane. I’m not sure about what flowere advice to give you for your part of the country. But here’s a hint- most garden centers sell the plants that do the best in a given locale. Even if you don’t purchase the plants, you have an idea.

Paul asks…

Do you know any gardening tips I could use?

I am a 12-year-old gardener. I just planted 4 yellow tomato plants. I want to make sure I have a successful garden so do you have a tip or 2 for me?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Never water your plants in the heat of mid day…feed them in the mornings, or evenings, when it is cooler.

GOOD LUCK!
