Hey Bobby, What is studge? ... and Bam!! sounds even easier than EM1.
Maybe you shouldn't try to relate your '1000 pounds of dirt every two months' cash crop grow to the comments I make at thc farmer. I am an individual medical grower trying to maintain compliance with my state's laws. Most of my comments will not apply to you, so if I say something you don't like you can just change the channel. Take it easy playa.Maybe some people don't want to spend $600 on soil every two months if they don't have to?
Maybe some people don't want to lug 1000 pounds of soil in and out every two months if the don't have to?
Maybe some people don't want to make mulitple trips to the dump every two months if they don't have to?
Maybe some people don't want to spend a lot of money and work to waste something if they don't have to?
Not everybody's crop fits in a milk container. For some of us, replacing soil is a BIG deal.
I use beds. I just remove the root balls, break up the dirt, mix in a little studge and BAM!! Good to go. I get no drawbacks from reusing the dirt, in yield, health, diseases, whatever. So, no ill effects and it saves me a lot of money and hassle, that makes it a no-brainer for me.
twice a year and you don't use enzymes? truly surprised you don't have root health issues.I don't use anything for the dead roots and everything goes just fine. I should have mentioned that I will change the soil after 3 or 4 runs. I won't use the same stuff forever. I change twice a year, tops.
No, I cared enough to laugh publicly at a post I thought was funny. And I agreed with underlying message in his joke."At the end of the day I could give a shit if people reuse their soil or not."
You cared enough to post how silly it is to reuse soil. When it got explained to you that it isn't silly, suddenly you don't care. Haha ok.
PS I'm perfectly relaxed
For your questions - I mix vermiblend and mycorrhizae. Feed with the full line of Earth Juice and bountea every 10 days.
I've reused soil multiple times both out of curiosity and necessity. I like the results I get from using new soil each round.Hey Bill, just for argument's sake, why don't you do a round with recycling? There are quite a few benefits to growing this way... Sounds like Bobby has a good method and the em1 method is nice in my experience...

Again, much cleaner and easier for me to just buy new Roots Organic or Happy Frog for $12-14/bag and dump the old stuff in the flower bed, veggie garden or compost pile. There is no reason to bother with doing it myself. Messy, time consuming, I don't have the space and not even cost effective once you factor in the time component.If you don't ammend your soil properly or you don't have a complete feed regiment to supplement your cold soil accordingly, you will not like the results of reusing it.
My collective and I are extremely happy with my current results. I don't need to mess around experimenting with a new method.Fair enough, Bill. It's not the most efficient way for everyone, I understand that. I was just pointing out that you "could" reuse your soil and get the same performance out of it. In fact, you could IMPROVE your soil for the second run. But again, if it's just a bag or two, I get it and I would probably do the same thing you do.
