I've found that no till works best with larger pots, 15 gallon and up.Youll have to clean out the water roots after ea grow for no till.Youll also need one great big sip lol.Easier to just re amend.Still get the benefits of re using.Ill be reusing this dirt after this next grow so over time Ill have 40 gallon in use and 40 cooking.Should get better and better.
Yea, ideally I'd like a 3x3 bed, but my space doesn't allow for that. You gotta make the best with what you have.I've found that no till works best with larger pots, 15 gallon and up.
Anything smaller gets dumped on the recycle pile, roots and all.
They break down quickly and make great humus.
does he have like an organized series of those videos? I know their on his IG, but they’re random and too longDude at bas has a video series where he's doing no till in an earth box. That's where I got the idea. Seems to work pretty good. He just leaves the old roots in there I guess.
Yea he's doing it in a series, but he's got a couple different styles going on a 10x10, so he touches on each, every episode.does he have like an organized series of those videos? I know their on his IG, but they’re random and too long
I added some when I first planted them just to make sure my soil was good to go. it had been sitting in totes for a few months. I did this time when I top dressed hoping it would help break down the dry nutes I mixed into the soil a little. not sure if my calculations are correct but so far so good.How often to you top dress with bokashi?
I add Kashi to every top dress. Helps break shit down faster.How often to you top dress with bokashi?
I add it every top dress. Helps give your soil fungal dominance, and your correct.

it's so cool lifting the covers and seeing a fuzzy blanket covering the soil. last night started see roots creep up on the edges off the top dress layer so looking good.I add it every top dress. Helps give your soil fungal dominance, and your correct. It helps break down faster.
Sounds like everything is going good. You're in flower right now, no?it's so cool lifting the covers and seeing a fuzzy blanket covering the soil. last night started see roots creep up on the edges off the top dress layer so looking good.
That sucks man. I'm hoping mine holds up. I'll prolly such to the inntainers once I get this down a lil more.Pretty disappointed in earthbox atm, my first run with them and one has already cracked in the water rez of course, so now I'm going to buy some of that stupid Billy Mayes water proof tape... by comparison the inn tainers I made myself are on probably run 5 or 6 with 0 issues... I was really hoping for more from the fabled earthbox... I guess I won't be buying more but instead making more inn tainers
Yeah its pretty shitty I had heard such good things I went ahead and bought 6 of them. Now I am regretting not just getting one to try. Thought I had finally found some thing that beat the "hype just trying to sell you some bullshit" game that is everywhere in this hobby. Sadly not this time. Live and learn... over and over again! LolololThat sucks man. I'm hoping mine holds up. I'll prolly such to the inntainers once I get this down a lil more.
Well I only got 1 basically for the same reason, that and just wanting to learn it first. I still feel for no till, you should have a larger volume of soil. I figure if I can learn it in the earth box with a smaller volume, I should be able to make an inntainer work real well.
