So i watched Leighton Morrison "horizonal soil system" video and i decided to do some of what he says, i couldn't gather all the materials he has, i did two out of four 65gal pots with the E horizon he's talking about: a bunch of gravel covered in sand and compacted down with water, then he says: you could just throw supersoil on top of that, but there's more to this that i didn't do
2 kinds of Vigoro gravel mixed together from home depot
decomposed granite from home depot, compacted and watered in the gravel
BuildAsoil oly mountain compost living soil
and life is starting!
i'm probably going to grow 4 or 8 plants from clones, old soul #6 (eucalyptus pine), old soul #7 (peanut butter pine), bradon's blood #1 (88g13hp leaner) and garlic bread by "bread by 42" freebie that turned out awesome
I had a very nasty bulb mite infestation in my old soil, i threw away pretty much everything that the infested soil ever touched, i tried to clean and seal everything as much as i can, i added hypoaspis miles that's supposed to be a predator bug to bulb mites, i don't know what else to do really but hope the infestation doesn't happen again and i ruin all this soil, it was a good investment so if anyone has preventative methods they know of to prevent soil bugs or bulb mites specifically, i'm all ears!
