Hes good people for sure and nice plants!!I'm a newb. No doubt about it. I have another account on this site and totally forgot what email I used so I've created another account. Newb. Truly. I'm nearing the end of my first grow all the way through and I've been reading Ecompost's posts about the approaches to healthy, vital, soil. I'm going to try to reuse the soil I have now. Yeah. I like the challenge. Now to the point.
I fired off an email to Better Organix with rambling questions that showed my ignorance of this approach. I made no commitment to purchase anything in my email and actually I felt like I was looking for information for free after re-reading what I wrote. What the hell right? All that can happen is no response. I've had plenty of emails to companies that give no response
I got a fantastic, informative, positive response from Andy Dominic that made me feel like I hadn't wasted their time. There was absolutely no type of pressure to purchase anything, just one man giving info to another man on a common interest. No sales pitch. No attitude.
I can't say I'll end up purchasing the products but because of Andy's professional interaction with me I feel like there is a group of folks interested in helping growers transition to new media approaches. I'm intent on changing all my gardening to "living soil" over the next couple of years and I have at least one person, and by default one company, in my book "go to" solutions.
Here's my current grow that I'll cut and hang tomorrow. Then on to trying the reuse of soil.

You are doing a great job, The plants are super healthy, the media should be perfect for reuse. Just note the rate of decay of old plant matter and its impact on available N.I'm a newb.

What size is that Ghouse? If they are anything like Ecompost is I'm sure they are good people.

That's nice , I've been looking at some similar to that one.Palram Nature Series Mythos Hobby Greenhouse - 6' x 8' x 7', Silver
It was an Amazon purchase. I put a 20'x20' sunshade over the greenhouse to cut the temperature. Before the sunshade the greenhouse would be 15-20 degrees hotter than the outside. Now with the sunshade it is 3-5 degrees cooler in the greenhouse.
it is helpful to know about VPD ranges and to know the rates of RH, Temps Day/Night, and percentage CO2.Palram Nature Series Mythos Hobby Greenhouse - 6' x 8' x 7', Silver

you are very welcome buddy. keep growing and ask if you need clarification. You cant have picked a bigger topic my friend. people think the land and soil are simplistic, nothing could be further from the truth. If I stopped every single scientist alive today, and made them only focus on soil, I would be dead before we got close to understanding the sum total.This is fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to lay it out. Looks like the day will be re-reads of your post while looking up every 5th word! I've been looking for for brain challenge lately and this is going to be good. I begin my raised planter builds next week and this research will be put to good use .
