The little guy in the front is a bag seed that I started late then neglected and left for dead, maybe I’ll get a joint off her 😂

    What all am I looking at here? This multiple plants in one pot? What’s all the clippings at the bottom?

    I grow too so wondering if you might have some tricks up your sleeve I haven’t seen

      Yeah I do multiple plants in my beds. The “weeds” at the bottom are a cover crop, mostly legumes. Clover in particular is an excellent nitrogen fixer. I grow in a 50 gallon living soil bed with as many as 5 plants in there.

        The benefit to doing multiple plants per bed is so the plants can communicate and share nutrients, Tad Hussey talks about it in a really informative podcast but basically it measurably helps with a lot of things including pest and disease resistance.

      Yup I think there are multiple plants in one pot, for some reason. Also the soil is full of weeds (I see a bunch of clover in there).

        In fairness I suppose all of our soil is filled with weeds 😂 clover is a really good cover crop for cannabis, and by keeping living plants in there between cycles it keeps the microbiome in the soil alive.
