It looks like all the cool people have left the building...

I didn't even have to watch the clip because I'm familiar with the show. Now, can anyone help or is everyone here to take stabs? I really with the OP was still around, he probably got chased off...

Could you be more rude about it?

I hope that you are still around!

Man, I hope that you are still around!!!

I was getting my compost tested and it was very excessive in phosphorus and I was having micronutrient problems all the time. I started using greensand for Mn and Fe but it just wasn't enough. I think that this is why the barefoot hippies compost deep rooting plants with their manure compost...

Man, I wish that you guys were still around. I was figuring this stuff out around the same time this post was made and only if I was here to partake in it. I've been using Soil Savvy tests which are solubility tests that check for nutrient lockout and I notice that my micronutrients are ALWAYS...

Random insects that I found in the insectary garden. This is a garden that is designed to attract beneficial insects but it could use some improving. I need to attract more predatory wasp... I thought that this was a horsefly at first, but no. Not sure what it is, but it's not a horsefly...

Assassin bug stalking a grasshopper. I didn't have many spots like this and the it seemed like things were being taken care of before I realized it was a problem. A hummingbird moth, which is supposed to be fairly rare:

Are you referring to growing plants to attract beneficial insects(insectary)? I'm going to be looking into plants to attract the right insects but are also native to my state. My wife is getting a horticulture degree at Oklahoma State Univ(Ag School) and she is the one that brought this to my...

Corn Earworm???

Do you cover insectary gardens at all? I would be very interested. My wife helped me plants that would attract green lacewings and ladybugs and we didn't have one aphid or spider mite issue this year. However, we did get hit by what we think is a corn earworm. I think that I need to focus on...

Here is a 10gal bucket of Grokashi that I made. I didn't have every input like the cera powder and beet juice, but it still worked. Here is 10gal of home made (expanded)LABS

Here is my earthboxes before I decided that they were too small. I mixed up Clackamas Coot's soil and used EM1 in the rez and Grokashi as a top-dressing. It took me a while to perfect the topdressing, but it's about a 2 week process. First, you topdress with the grokashi and you wait about...

Thank you! I'm using Clackamas Coot's recipe mostly. I listened to a 3pt series that he had on Kis Organics https://www.kisorganics.com/pages/podcast and he really emphasized on the worm castings. He said that he started with 2yr old leaf mould and run it through the worm bin, which I did...

I'm actually the other way around, I need to trim/train my plants more. I'm currently growing too much larf lol. I have been watching Kyle Kushman recently trying to work in some of his methods. I figured that I would perfect my soil before I moved on to other aspects of growing, but I was...

Well, I have been growing for about 9yrs and I was looking for answers about micronutrients. I have been making my own compost, but I know that it could be better, there is always room for improvement. I'm currently doing a little of indoor and outdoor growing and I finished my first real...

I have been making my own leaf mould compost with grass clippings, rabbit bedding(alfalfa), oak leaves, and rock dust. That was the picture above. However, I recently started using worm bins and running my compost through there and I've been having a lot better luck, but my compost tests look...

I found that red wheat bran and greensand have a decent amount of manganese, so I started using it in my compost. However, I just found out that I have lambsquarter growing on my property and it's supposed to be a good Mn source. This is Malibu Compost, the stuff with the surfing cow on the...

I spent a lot of time over at Rollitup, but I finally had it with the community there. Just having a quick look around and I saw a sticky about beneficial insects, which is still a mystery at RIU, so I know that I'm in the right place! I just hope that this forum is a little more friendly than...
