cannabis leaf meal 🌱 Soil & Medium

Jeremy's term for chopped-up cannabis fan leaves used as a mulch top layer on his own living soil — a home-made analogue of alfalfa meal made from the very plant being grown.

He chops defoliated leaves small so they break down faster and throws them straight into the Earth Box. He explicitly contradicts the old gardening-book warning that mulching a plant with its own leaves will carry disease — in his experience it is not an issue because it mirrors how nature recycles biomass.
