Could no-til/living-soil work in a 2x4 tent if using a two 20 gallon pots? Or a 2x4 bed? New to all this, so apologies if a silly question; thanks -
Organic no till, probiotic, knf, jadam, vermicomposting, soil mixes, sips etc... Q & A

I liked reading through your perspective and I think your spot on. I read through threads with people saying it's their first or second round with this approach and are trying to use the entire arsenal all at once. I think a lot of of what they are doing is repetitive and potentially leads to overdoing a good thing.
I will always subscribe to a quality compost source being the key, everything else in moderation and things will fall into place.

Same, the top dressing has been working out for me as well. Just not all the way sure on the roots that stay there from the grow before. Im practicing no till because it seems like it's the easiest way to grow. Just add water almost. Yeah a true no till environment is self sustaining, I understand that. I also understand the snuff against a 10 gallon pot as a no till grow. I just don't get how a top dressing can't reach the rhizosphere of the root system. Water makes it down there, the worms that eat some of these amendments shit down there...so I don't get how some feel it's a waste of time. Anyways, I digress. So the old roots break down to some form of carbon that the micros feed off of...that's what I'm getting so far.

I'm thinking the 2x4 bed would be best for this. I'm on the fence of setting this up or getting bigger pots. With the bigger pots you could still manage them or pull them out if needed. (especially during trimming) Saying that I literally have the 2x4 bed looking at me begging to be used... #firstworldproblems

Nearly word for word thats what all the phoney living soil producers use as a scapegoat when they fuck up your garden.

For whatever it’s worth, I have a 12 gal SIP, on its second grow of no-till. Half of the soil was from previous grows, other half new, Coot’s mix. I recycled soil grows and would throw the root ball in my worm bin. Between grows in the SIP I grew a cover crop for 60 days. Recycling soil is fine, even better if you have a worm bin. With no till it’s nice not having to remix soil. I think the thing that works with my system is the composting worms. I use hay as a mulch and that gives the roots more room and food for the worms. Other folks use 15 gal+… I’m digging the SIP, it’s been a huge game changer

for doing knf can you use dried unphophated molasses as the sugar? its still a sugar but more a raw form? or does it have to be brown sugar?
