Will do. I have only a basic knowledge of mykos and fungal organisms as well as worms. I've been reading everything I can get my hands on about worms lately. I now understand the three basic types of worms are epigeic, endogeic and anecic, and their respective purposes, but learning about how they all interact will probably be a life long pursuit.:cool:

You can read in any order, but to learn about nutrients, microbes then fungi creates a better understanding. I don't know if he wrote them in that order for that, i think he wrote them in that order cause one lead to the other. IMO

Yep didn't know about how extensively they infiltrate the soil

 

[Rcubed]

And why not disturbing the soil is so important

 

[brazel]

It breaks the soil food web up. They work to build that up. There's a lot going on, think of it as destroying a city

A lot of questions you will have would be answered by the other books;) cheers

@RanchoDeluxe
You haven't listened to the new podcasts from tad? He is using an MBP only mix. Here's the trick. Vermicomposting with coots layering method. 4" compost, 4 cup of MBP, kelp, neem, and aeration, 4" compost, rinse and repeat. All of the minerals and even the PGRs and even the limonoids stay intact. This is all done in a 300g smartpot.

After a year all u need is SPM and a bit of aeration.

I'm a lil busy growing weed man!

Year old vermicompost....yeah that works pretty damn well.

Who has that kind of time?

Those worms will also tear the fuck out of those beds once the peat moss is added leaving you with nothing but vermicompost and aeration in no time.
I build my beds for the long haul.

Someone was asking about SST. Came across this the other day. Pretty close to how I do things. I'll take some pics and explain my method when I have time.
