What do you use to reamend?oh yeah way back when i first planted the clover and put on all the trimming post harvest.
Just craft blend from BAS, watered in with Saponin extract and Mikrobs from amazon. Make sure to mulch everything back into the top layer.What do you use to reamend?
Ok good, I'm glad you said that. How much do you add when reamending? I can't find any conclusive info on that.Just craft blend from BAS, watered in with Saponin extract and Mikrobs from amazon. Make sure to mulch everything back into the top layer.
Nevermind.i just found it. LolOk good, I'm glad you said that. How much do you add when reamending? I can't find any conclusive info on that.
I believe it. That's a good amount of soil and organic matter to be run thru by microbes, worms, bugs. I've noticed some feedings take a lil longer than others to break down.Proly not. All these organic growers just throw scoops on stuff. Like for my bed, i throw 1 scoop post harvest. Scoop is about 5 cups. I only do this once every other harvest. Honestly the mulch breaking down from harvest provides everything the plants need. I just help it along with the Mikrobs and the Saponin is to make sure there are not dry spots in the bed. Nutrients to keeps micro/macro nutrients at the proper levels. Truthfully this reamend i did 6 months ago is still breaking down.
Good stuff. Exactly how I look at it. But some stuff its 6years! and still provides nourishment.Proly not. All these organic growers just throw scoops on stuff.

Yep, some minerals even longer than that.Good stuff. Exactly how I look at it. But some stuff its 6years! and still provides nourishment.
Some inputs probably take longer than that.Good stuff. Exactly how I look at it. But some stuff its 6years! and still provides nourishment.
I hit post reply at the same time damn near. LolYep, some minerals even longer than that.
Well yeah, but i mean you will still have to transplant it. No till in at least 30s for sure. But before you get into all that, set yourself up for success. Here is what I'm doing at my inlaws place. Hes got a 4x4 tent. Hes got 4 27 gallon totes. View attachment 4848162 Then we filled 2 of them 3/4 full with handmade soil and a mulch layer. We then planted 2 girls in each pot. When he harvested, everything from the harvest not kept for use was then put into the top of the tote, watered, and the lid was put on it. Both of these were set to the side. Then we repeated this process for the other one. They were stacked and put in the corner. With the 2 empty one we filled them. He is now on a rotation 2 in, 2 out. No holes in the totes. He hand waters and only waters 1 gallon at a time. So in a couple of years he will then dump those into 45gallon ones. And do that for awhile. This allows him to build up over time and not have to drop 350 bucks filling 4x4 bed.
If you need any help setting that up let me know. I did this for 5 years cycle 8 25 gallon pots.
Thanks.Very incredible work. I don't know why I never saw this thread.
You look like you're only a few cycles off of having yourself a fully self-sustaining closed loop system. Your results and photos certainly reflect that, you can practically feel and smell the life just from the photos.
How does the decaying wood interact with the roots? Does the wood just decompose so quickly that it doesn't hinder root growth? Do the roots grow into the decaying wood? What a very fascinating process, I'd like to learn more about the how and the why as to how all of that works. Any resources for study that you recommend?
Definitely seems like its nothing but benefits. It is less soil you need to make/buy to fill a hole or bed, and that entire rotting log likely turns into compost within a year or so?
My town woodchip pile has plenty of branches and stumps around too, definitely want to incorporate that into any future holes/beds.
Great thread.
