I am begging of you people, begging to just listen for one second about this foot washing. Â As you can see by the first picture how much debris gets picked up in our shoes. A lot of times we must enter an area often. Maybe it is on the way to your garden? Maybe you stepped in something gross. Why not simply clean the bottom of your shoe every time you enter? What if it took a fraction of the time of removing your shoes. The general reduction crap on your shoe seems like a good idea. I am loving this. Like Scotty I found one spider mite situation at the end of a cycle recently. I know how it got in there. The leaf litter in the fall blows around and eventually gets dragged in the shop. Well no Mas people. I have now made multiple of these due to demand. Of myself lol but if you walk from gardens to gardens landscapes to tool areas as I do. I want a realistic way that I will actually accomplish any sort of consistent Prevention. Cat litter box, PVC cut two with. Fill pan a few inches of water and dish soap or enzymatic cleaner preferably. Put your foot on it and roll it back-and-forth. It gets the tread and up the sides as deep or shallow as you want to be washed. I am showing with these flip-flops that are fabric to show that I am still high and dry. Is it rubber getting washed. Is it 100%? No. Is it so easy to do 100% of the time? A fuck of a lot easier than dealing with infections.
I forget the exact number, but it’s like 80% of the indoor debris, dust, dirt, sand, etc. Is tracked in. That was drilled in my head by the Superintendent when I worked in Building Maintenance. Great hack! I’m always getting in trouble for walking in the house with my muddy boots still on! Lol.
Thank you Stone. When your little baby starts crawling is when the truth about the floor REALLY comes out. Their knees become little mops! I remember that more than potty training.
its a good idea, but could it be easier to just slide that puppy off and slide on a flip flop or just no shoe? i kick my shoes off before i head into the grow and put em back on when im done. the first time i had to fill up that bucket id be over it lol
Not even close! I wrote you a lengthy reply. Then posted it 👇 sorry.
Thank you Sunny, this is an excellent idea! I’m very much looking forward to warmer weather and getting started with the outdoor project again. 🙂
Oh man MJ, we have been having a warm summer! I am all up in the outdoor gardens now, getting soil ready and getting my compost worked for vegetables. Been eating from the greenhouse now for quite some time too. Ended up putting a t-5 and a 400 w LED out there and it is rocking!, already reseeding trays.
Absolutely not! I go in and out and in and out . This is not for my garden exclusively . I put one of these at back of house and will put more too. This ain’t for no city slicker. This is for people that are going threw all kinds of shit. Dirt, grass, gravel, spit. Other people come over also and they don’t mind washing at all. Everyone has different situations.
Designating a pair of shoes for each room might be beneficial. Also quick pro tip….wear comfortable shoes when you are harvesting and plucking buds. If it was grown right with a hefty harvest, you’ll be running around like a basketball player and standing in one spot for hours.
Right! Last night I was tired of all the shoes I had. So I did barefoot on a gel mat. Lower back still got tired after a few hours of course. That’s when it’s time to sit down. Until my lower back hurts from sitting down…
I like the bin pvc washer that’s smart.
