True that! It's funny when you hear this bottle is amazing!... really! It's just imitating my soil!I'm subbed for sure and will follow along on this excellent thread.
Ha ha a man that truly understands what a true organic system really is without all the confusion of pretty bottles and overpriced systems and nutrients. Best gardens in the world are the ones that let mother nature and her team of microbes and fungi take care of the work. But it is human ego to think we know and can do better. NOT!!!
My bad I didn't mean to step on anyone's toes, he'll be more than happy to answer!The question i asked him...thats all.. i know how it works
Haha love it! And please tell me you're gonna release it soon! Best name everlucky in a bottle
It sure would. I ran a 4x4 bed in a 4x7 area for a long time.That sounds like the set up I might end up with in the future, but I currently have a medical grow to maintain as well. For my learning curve I'm hoping to keep most of the area running with my usual coco set up (rocking it ) to keep my people happy, but get a NT bed going off to the side with its own lights. Would a 3 x 6 bed 18 " deep get me going?
Thanks man. Pat is harvesting right now. Never looked into Moringa...might have to add it to my smoothie.Rancho, stoked you started a journal!
Looking good! I'm getting my grow ready... slowly, laziness is a mutha!
How's patorjunai grows going? ...I never remember how to spell that!
Have you looked into Moringa? I got a couple trees growing now I'm experimenting with
I believe there's a lot there
Cheers bro
Honestly, I don't understand the question. The building, lights, HVAC, painting, ductwork, etc. are all up front costs too.Most of your fertilizer cost is up front...what else?
I would love to do a grow from nothing but locally harvested wild materials. Perhaps down the road I'll make this happen for a small grow.A solid no till bed can be brought up for pennies on the dollar. There's no comparison. My soil mix cost me 2.5 hours and $100 to mix 200g of soil. I think thats equal to 22.5g of fox farms. That's not anymore upfront cost IMO. That's a bottled feed line. That would last 2 grows if you're lucky in a bottle.
I still have 3/4 of a #50 kelp and a #44 neem cake...why does buying in bulk make sense? i watch these items on Amazon...they go on sale and that's when i buy my next bag...i also frequently call local brew stores to ask if they have ripped bags of grain.
Some guys are very crafty. I've heard of guys rounding up everything except neem free. You can go harvest algae out of a pond for kelp meal replacement. Thats extreme for me even lol.
I've yet to scratch the surface...
I think RD will agree and that's why I don't mind answering in his place.
My #44 neem $100
It will last 5 years.
My #55 kelp $75
Will last 6 years
#50 MBP $80
3 years
And when the bags are done your soil has more than it needs...you don't need anymore.
8 years down the road you might have to add SPM to your soil...now everything's free except SPM.
View attachment 769633 View attachment 769634 I got a question! The top 1/8" in my ewc is dry which I don't like. Normally I have shredded cardboard and stays moist... but since I put the seedling mat in for warmth, I got sketched out one night playing with that fungi and I thought the seed mat might catch the cardboard on fire.
I don't so much now but then again I haven't reapplied it!
Question is if I been roiling like that for a couple months I don't think the dry will go further than the 1/8" it's at.
Would you let it roll or switch up so that 1/8" isn't dry. BTW it's an 1/8" in the thickest part, 1/16" is most of it cause i do have a lid that's ventilated by using that black sun screen stuff
Where I'm at it usually stays between 50°- 80° year round, but I'm by the ocean so the breeze keeps us a lil warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. North county San Diego. I have the mat set on 72°.What is the purpose of the heat mat? Thought you lived in SoCal? Unless there is some danger that bin will freeze solid... don't waste $ on it.
Where the hell are the worms? The material in the bin doesn't look like it's even close to being wet enough. Most worm activity should be occurring in the top 2-4" with a vertical flow through. Keep in mind temps in the 50's will cause the worms to reproduce faster. Temps in the 70's will cause the worms to eat faster. Hopefully I will have time to talk about our lil friends later today.

Ha we're doing opposite things!If I do have my worm bin outside and temps get real cold,lets say below freezing,should I worry about worms or will they survive?
