My Scrounged Pot(ting) Soil

I'm so pleased with myself.

See my lovely trailer-load of nice, light, potting soil? For free, no less.

I actually scrounged it from the side of the road. Who does such a thing?

Why would lovely potting soil - complete with perlite - be abandoned on the side of the road?

Well, if you didn't want people to know that you were in possession of vast amounts of potting soil. So, who would need to keep it a secret that you had vast amounts of potting soil to dispose of?

Marijuana growers! That's who.

You probably have heard about BC's main ecomony: BC Bud. Apparently it produces 7% of BC's GDP. More than mining, forestry, and somethingelseIforget, combined.

I imagine that if you are involved in illegal activity you can't just take your old soil to the dump. Those snoopy dump employees might wonder, "Why does he (criminals are always hes) have all that soil?"

You get the picture. So some criminal had unloaded their load of illegal soil right out on the side of the road on the way to my place. I guess they thought it was a hardly-used road, but really it isn't.

So I cajoled WonderHusband to hitch up the trailer (which has now mysteriously developed a flat tire which it didn't have then)to the tractor and drive down to salvage this wonderful soil.
Wonderful soil is not plentiful around here so this goldmine could not be overlooked.


I'm going to use this pot soil in my little greenhouse.

Doesn't it look terrible? I sortof abandoned it last fall. All those grassy weedy things are from the manure I usually use.

I hope my pot soil does not have weeds. But it might have pot? Do you think so? I bet not. I think those pot seeds are not just sprinked willynilly about.

We'll see. I'll keep you posted.
