Ok, almost finished the planter using 31 gallon totes.... And have almost made it through the thread--Whew, that's a lot of posts!Will post a couple of pics tomorrow. I have a couple of questions.
-For those of you using living/no till soil, anything special you need to do/or do regularly?
-should I use a cover crop(clover) or use a cover/plastic over the top?
-I notice that some people put the lids(with the middle cut out) over the top. Wouldn't this stop air from getting down into the reservoir? I have the overflow connected to a tube going to a bucket, do there aren't currently any air holes on the sides.
-I know
@Tim Fox doesn't like to use cloth at the bottom of the grow medium. I'm leaning that way. Any strong opinions for?
-I have very low mineral well water(around 75PPM) and about 40 of that is Calcium. I see that a lot of folks were using Calmag in some form or another, especially if using RO water. mine is pretty close to that. should I be using Calmag?
I've got 4 clones that will be going in the 2 30 gallons. They are currently in 3G fabric pots. I'll transplant as soon as I feel solid on my soil.
