Ok, I only have a couple of pounds. Just curious as the reason to this though, thanks! Also, what about the alfalfa? Maybe just do it as the tea, as coot suggested?

I am going to be mixing up a version of coots mix, likely tomorrow (even though he hates how popular it has become lol). Eventually I am going to try to make my worm castings as close to the quality of his as I can, I have got malted barley, neem, kelp, and aged manure as well For now, I’m...

Just picked up a 5lb bag for $10 of some malted barley. I’m wondering if I should further grind this for topdress, and leave as is to mix with soil? Also, looking for some input on how much malted barley to add to my new batch of living soil. Thanks guys, here’s a pic of the malted barley...

Thanks! I’ve definitely have a lot more reading to do on this subject!

https://www.homehardware.ca/en/1kg-culture-mix-for-pet-waste-composter/p/4435649 Is this what you make in it? The Bokashi bran, and then you add that to the soil/compost/worm bin? $10 for a kg already made doesn’t seem to bad, but I’m wondering, do you use the fermented waste from your...

I will look into it some more, just don't have a ton of room and my growing supplies/equipment are already taking up too much space lol What is KNF and JADAM? I was going to grow alfalfa as a cover crop, not sure I'll have much room for a companion plant like comfrey though. I'm going to be...

yeah, I'm going to stick to just under 5% biochar, seems like the magic number. Thanks!

What about just buying the wheat/rice bran and adding that along with the malted barley, etc, either as a top dressing or to the worm bin? Or both? Don’t really want to get into the whole Bokashi thing, worm farm and compost bin should be good

Awesome stuff! I've got to listen to the last two still, but seem well worth it! Does anyone know if I should get more variety than just the 2-row? I heard him talk about using "malted grains, specifically barley". Didn't really touch on what the other grains were. This is what I can get at a...

I am just about ready to mix my soil. The weather is turning warmer here (still down to 40F at night though). I have an old inflatable pool that is more than large enough for my 70 gallons of soil. I’m just looking for some guidance on the process. Do I just mix my base mix first, then add the...

Ok thanks! I thought 6 row was supposed to be better, guess I’ll save some $$&!

Dear god, that looks excellent! EDIT: I just noticed the little bug on there, what is that?

So no air stone/pump in it? And inside or outside best? Gwtting down to 40 degrees at night here right now

Oh yeah, I would definitely be dumping it on my compost at least. I guess that makes sense. Did you aerate it? I have a spare air pump and stone, so I don't see why not. And does it matter if I do it outside? I could do it in my shed, or inside somewhere.

Also, when I add the biochar, should it be a topdress or mixed right in with the soil? I noticed you mentioned it will “migrate down for about 300 days”

I got my biochar today and am ready to charge it. Sill unclear on what to do with the liquid in this “soup” though. Do I drain it or let it evaporate? Seems draining would waste a lot of good stuff

Yeah, I don’t know how I would get them dull though, so they will have to do. Thanks!

And it’s fine that it is sharp/rough on the edges?

I will order a bit less then, no point spending more to get worse results!! Should I do this “soup” indoors or outdoors? I can put an air pump in it too, if that would help.

Sorry for all the questions, but I’m a bit confused on the soup making process, as well as how much compost/bone meal/kelp as well as water I should be adding in. When you say “dry it out”, do you dump the water or just let it evaporate? Thanks again!!
