Is this considered a "no till" approach?This is my set up. In LOS the idea is the more soil the more forgiving it will be and I also notice much larger yields. I'm talking triple what I pull in a 10g pot. The open spots are where males were culled. I'm hunting gear right now.
indeed correct the larger the LOS area the more buffering capacity it has.:DThis is my set up. In LOS the idea is the more soil the more forgiving it will be and I also notice much larger yields.

no till and LOS go hand in hand. by not tilling you keep your biodiversity humming from grow to grow.Is this considered a "no till" approach?
That will depend on your location and the quality of amendments you use. I go for the high quality to prevent issues down the road. There are little tricks as well. Some substitute pond algae for kelp. I also save a lot by going to the quarry for rock dust. If you're buying in larger portions it also comes out cheaper. I buy a #50 bag of neem meal and kelp meal because there is always a need for both.What's the cost to produce your recipe u got Goin there
Those pics look great. They claim you can plant directly but I've noticed things run to perfection if you give things time to cook. Not really a cook per se but a chance for pH buffer and the breaking down of minerals as well as microbial population as you mentioned.no till and LOS go hand in hand. by not tilling you keep your biodiversity humming from grow to grow.
I go one step further a lot of the minerals added when making soil takes some time to really have the microbes mineralize the minerals for uptake in the rhizo zone so some folks will do no till beds for a few months or a season to allow all the microherd to really get humming and then do their planting.
Great thread @Organikz :D
Neem oil is pesticide. Neem meal is a good fertilizer. Also the left over organic pesticide from the extraction is still very high in the leftover “meal”, so you have a time released systemic pesticide in your soil. It is neem seed meal, so it is a seed and contains what seeds usually contain, lots of goodness :)What's the neem/karanja oil for, other than systemic pesticide? Never used the stuff.
Mycelium. The nutrient super highway. That's magical stuff. That's basically telling you its cooked and ready for planting. Its thriving with life.@jumpincactus I believe you were explaining your soil mix and the development of the microorganisms on another thread. If I'm correct, it was a thread where you showed the soil with the web like formation of beneficial fungi. I recently mixed and cooked a batch. Opened the bag a month later and I noticed some white fuzz. Think I'm on the right path. I believe I'm gonna set up half of my tent in a tub of LOS.
I'm liking this group. Would like your input on my soil inputs. LMAO. A little LOS humor. Let's talk some compost teas too.This thread is taking a life of it's own and there are knowledgeable people participating which is awesome.
