So who here is growing in true organic living soil?

[radicaldank42]

exactly you wanna be able to stack it. but you don't want to be making too much otherwise it will start compacting the compst making it harder for the wormsa to teravel from one place to thje next
and also I use the worm factory and I still shift rhrough with my hands to make sure im not taking any worms with me and also womrs lay eggs so you could of gotten some eggs and the worms hatgched in the soil

Advice on root rot???

 

[Javadog]

Well, it really doesn't happen with Organic Living Soil that I know.

It usually affects hydro systems, and a good cure is a good bacterial tea.

Advice on root rot???

Introduce a mycovorous opportunistic plant symbiont... Trichoderma species does the job... Great White mycos have trichoderma mixed in... ironic because trichoderma eats the mycos but no worries it does the same job... very cool fungus

thats why i love this thread, look up Trichoderma and find this
http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Triat1/Triat1.home.html
Trichoderma atroviride is a filamentous cosmopolitan fungus, commonly found in soil, and isolated from both tropic as well as temperate climates. It is best known for its biocontrol capabilities against a range of phytopathogenic fungi including Rhizoctonia solani and Botrytis cinerea, which are pests of hundreds of plant crops, including tomatoes, beans, cucumber, strawberries, cotton and grapes.

I have no idea of what this means yet, but i will. ADvancing my garden of plants and knowledge

I love predatory helpers. BTI, Hypoaspis Mites, Nematodes, jumping spiders... What a party!

I used it on one soil batch, since I recycle it is permanently alive or in spore form. I can see it grow on my compost covers lol. It is the mushroom farmers biggest enemy, it eats other fungi. But it also does what all mycorrhizal fungi do which is increase root surface and aid water and nutrient absorption. And yes, forget about root rot. Matter of fact it colonies phyllosphere too so goodbye bud rot too. @Javadog called it 'the borg'
