I posted that link to HYO because those pics dont look like anything I seen before. The site explains that they sell castings not vermicompost, and I thought it was the same thing.

I think so, I had thought that it was all the same thing. I asked about worm castings in the colorado section and somebody gave me this link.

It may be weird but I am thinking along the same lines.

I have been using the worm power vermicompost from buildasoil, I guess thats different than castings.

I tried it before at home there was a lot of bugs in it. I dont see why it wouldnt attract root aphids as well, even though every thing I read said all the bugs in a worm farm wouldnt damage healthy plants. I'm doing it outdoors this next time. I'll get some from high yield organics next...

I'm working on it, its going to take some time though. You make your own @ArcticOrange?

EWC is the most expensive part of my soil mix, anyone know a source to find it in bulk around pueblo or colorado springs.

I thought you were using 1/3 compost, 1/3 peat and 1/3 aeration? Thats what I am doing. I found I have to water more in the root maker pots, not sure if its because there are actually more roots or if the holes dry the dirt out faster. The one gallons dry out a lot faster than the plants...

I got to keep an eye out for one of those. lol.

Tested too high ph? Considered buying the premix from buildasoil, but never used the oly mnt fish compost. Worm, and sheep only, one of the small bags of buffalo just for diversity.

Never tried the liquid. Tried the base pellets and that was a bad experiment. So bad I am not interested in using anything else from them. I like the concepts, read through all the literature, it just didnt work.

No. Dont know anything about it. Is it water soluble? The agsil product is what I will be using. Need to go read Quantrill's link and see what the ph needs to be.

I use agsil as a foliar and root drench. Are you saying when I add water to it I made monosilicic acid?

nutri-tech has a micronized silica, not sure what that means, maybe its just crushed? Aloe vera is a good source of salicylic acid, I didnt know that. http://blog.nutri-tech.com.au/silica-the-hidden-cost-of-chemicals/

forgot to post the link

Aptus does seem to be the only company selling this retail in the US. agro-solutions has the same thing as facilitor, execpt it has a little copper and zinc added. They have a California office, but they only deal with commercial ag. Wouldnt even give me a distributors name. lol. Here...

I am all about trying to find a combination of synthetic and organic right now. I was going to do a run using straight Aptus. Problem was the start boost and base pellets starved my plants at the beginning. I should have given them a blast of synthetics at the start. There are a...

I was thinking it was probably time to transplant, but this is what I found.

@MakinGoo So what you think about Aptus, are you still using it? You posted a pic early on and had roots filling up the cup in a week, was that just Aptus or were you using a base npk? I put rooted cuts in promix with the aptus pellets and have only added facilitor and start boost, half...
