Did you know that you can give cannabis buds a boost by supplying the plant with banana water? Simply soak a banana peel in tap water for two days, remove the peel, and pour the banana water at the root of the cannabis plant. Flowering plants will appreciate the extra boost of potassium. And your harvest will reflect that gratitude. While little home remedies, like this, help keep gardens free of toxins and other harmful chemicals, making your cannabis the center piece of a self-sustaining permaculture garden will reap all the enormous buds.
It was Bill Mollison and David Holmgren who first coined the concept of the permaculture garden as a return of humans into a living ecosystem. Instead of stripping and destroying natural systems, this agricultural practice seeks to create a fully integrated system that doesn’t need your help anymore.
Sadly, we often see cannabis growing as a monoculture. Unfortunately, providing the ideal circumstances for a field (or greenhouse) of plants that are genetically identical has consequences. Stripping of the soil and overuse of pesticides are but two of the issues that harm the final product and the environment. Serious growers are looking for a more sustainable and integrated solution. The result is the best possible (quality and quantity) cannabis crop.
What’s the Problem with Cannabis Monoculture?
There are many pros to growing only cannabis. Efficiency and increased yield being two big pros. Essentially, factory farming practices are designed to create the most product in the least amount of space. Practicing monoculture has offered increased efficiency and maximizes yields for a growing population of humans. In fact, there are doubts that we could even produce enough calories to feed the world if we didn’t use monoculture.
