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.
Clover isn’t a weed necessarily… a weed is an undesired plant.
Clover (I use it as companion ground cover with Kentucky Blue grass) provides nitrogen to the soil and provides shade so the ground doesn’t dry out so fast.
