  • Wow, you guys are toxic and mentally stressed. I can disagree with what people call mulch. My entire life between growing my own stuff, working retail like home depot, tgt, etc, I’ve never had people call straw or sheeting of any kind “mulch”. Wood? Yep, mulch. Chopped up car tires or other rubber? Yep, mulch. Straw or pine needles? Normally just reffered to as ground covering. I’ve been gardening and growing shit for damn near 30 years. I was growing stuff outside of an apt that had zero accessible dirt and only concrete to work with.

    The fact that you think that is whining after someone had to play the well actually game on a post about gardening tells me all I need to know about you and I thank you for sticking your head up so I can block you. At least lemmy does blocks right.

    Have a nice day now.










  • You are correct but I think hemp is similar to clover in that there is some symbiotic relationship with other organisms that help rejuvenate the soil even if you don’t mulch it back it in. I could be wrong here but I know that plenty of farmers grow hemp between other crops and likely don’t “waste” it by mulching it back in.

    If you are looking to pull bad stuff out of water, I’d think that growing anything that would hold onto the bad stuff as it falls to the bottom of the river or lake and stores it there would be a solution as well as harvesting and transporting it elsewhere.
