    Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

    Hey guys this thread is wayyy to long for me to begin to dive into and majority of the pictures in the early pages don't load for me. Can anyone point me towards more literature / videos / journals / podcasts etc about No till, LOS?

    Starting a worm bin

    Quick update. Figured I'd post how I made my bins for whoever happens to use the search function in the future and stumbles upon this. Total Cost: I went down to Walmart and picked up a couple of these 12gal totes. Bought two bins and one lid, total cost $8. I will eventually purchase a third...

    Morning everyone! Here's an updated picture of the two headed beast. The taller side is now officially more than 2x the height of the small one. It's not looking good for the runt.

    Starting a worm bin

    So I called the local composting site and asked what they used in their compost. The guy on the phone told me they only accept old soil and green compost... he said they typically get the greens from local companies. He said they DO NOT accept or use manures, so I don't have to worry about the...

    Seed growing from both ends?

    I suppose I'll leave it alone for now. Although it looks like the stem on the left (taller one in the pic I posted) has blown right past the shorter one and is already double its size. This is going to be very interesting haha

    Seed growing from both ends?

    Okay if not kill one, should I attempt to separate them and put in different containers at least?

    Seed growing from both ends?

    So you guys don't think I should make an executive decision and snip one of the heads? Just let her run its course?

    Seed growing from both ends?

    Lol I think I left the seed in the paper towel for too long cuz when I checked the tap root was fucking huge so maybe it curved back towards the surface. It sucks cuz it was my only fem seed, the others are bag seeds. Hope I don't get all males hahaha. I'll keep yall posted.

    Seed growing from both ends?

    So I woke up yesterday morning to see if any of my seeds had sprouted, and one of them finally had! Yay!! I wake up today and found that there is a second stalk that grew up... can seeds sprout from both ends? I think the seed is confused and instead of rooting one end and growing up the other...

    Starting a worm bin

    Thanks for the link I will definitely take a look. I do need to call the composting facility and see what they use for their compost but I imagine it's nothing that would be harmful to my grow. Still would like to know :) I'm going to call around to nurseries in the area and try to source some...

    Starting a worm bin

    Hey Mustang! I gotta say your plants look beautiful and the tub of black gold is making me salivate haha!! Unfortunately, I live in a desert climate so there's not a whole lot of greenery around to use as compost but the there's a locally run composting program near by that sells compost for...

    Starting a worm bin

    Hi Yall! I'm looking to start up my very first worm bin soon and had a couple questions. There's endless videos on youtube about how to actually build a worm bin so I'm good in that area but my question is... what do I fill it with? Haha I'm wondering if I can use peat moss as one of my main...

    Soil question

    Thanks for the continual responses Loco I truly appreciate it. I'm real disappointed in my seeds though!! I checked on them tonight and I think I'm SOL. The tap roots of the seeds are like a brownish color and haven't rooted and it's been 5 days. I have horrible germination rates and I don't...

    Soil question

    Question about Humus Layer. I still don't fully understand what this is but from what I've gathered it's simply an organic layer of decomposing materials that helps with water retention and overall health of the soil system. How do I create this in my own no till pots? When I started...

    Soil question

    Probably a good call about not adding stuff to the cooking soil. I don't want to add too many variables being that it's my first time trying an organic grow. Ima have to read into worm bins more because I don't even know where to start haha. What do i use as the medium in which they live? etc

    Soil question

    Question. So I have all my soil cooking in my tote right now. Should I be adding my banana peels after I eat them? Would it be beneficial to sprinkle some clover seed and let that grow. Then when i mix the soil their roots get mixed up and decompose etc. Worms! Should I add worms to the tote...
