No, because if it not organic then... it's not organic. But thanks for the zing again... Classy as always. P-

That's an excellent resource DP! I'm still not sold I would want blood and bone meal in my soil. Maybe if I couldn't find neem, crab, kelp, etc. Peace! P-

@DonPetro When they saw organic blood and bone meal, does that mean they come from certified organic cows? Just curious. P-

You you should totally do a side by side!

Welcome to the organic section. We lynch people for blasphemy such as this. :P Just teasing ya! But seriously, kinda organic don't fly around here. If you are interested in this style of growing I highly suggest starting with at least the first few of pages of the ROLS thread. Peace! P-

Organic correct?

Waste not, want not? Poultry “feather meal” as another source of antibiotics in feed Stay away from the slaughter house byproducts imo. This goes for feather meal, blood meal, bone meal, etc. Call me crazy, but I think there are better inputs for your organic soil. bongsmilie P-

No, worries, I was just clarifying my position. I understand your point. Trichoderma are definitely beneficial to a plant. It's the mass amount of trichoderma spores they put in the mykos products which I keep a close eye on. I was in the grow store a few months ago and picked up a bottle of...

I realize the two can work together mutualistically in nature. However, as you said, "What I am trying to express is a consensus wherein companies who are packaging a fungi gangbang of trichoderma, endo and ecto mycorrhiza are defeating nature's purpose by placing them in the octagon against...

Jesus... Reading plant runoff tells you nothing! :: shakes head :: P-

You are very correct! Plants do remember! I believe it was the Darwins that did an experiment pricking the cotyledons on one side of the plant. The plant grow more vigorously on the opposite side of the pricking thinking it was a pest attack. The did the same experiment, pricked one cotyledon...

Hey Anzo! I feel like this is a subtool misnomer. If you go out into nature, where is the most nutrients found, deep in the ground, or at the soil surface where things are decomposing, animals are pooping, etc? The problem is subtool adding everything but the kitchen sink to his mixes. It's way...

Good to see someone has layers and spikes figured out. ;) P-

I want to say I used about 1/3-1/2 of the bunches they sell at the store, blended strained and diluted to about 1 gallon of water. Experiment, and start light. I used to put lavender leaves in my sst's, but I was told we need the flowers. Generally I use the karanja and light botanicals for...

Canna, what I am planning to do is something like this. I'm going to mix new soil and maybe round up a little on the kelp, crab, neem - not much. Then I'll add something like 2:1 new soil to old soil. Might even be a little closer to 1:1. We'll see how much new soil I end up with. :) Peace! P-

These are perfectly normal. They are soil mites, and are soil decomposers. Nothing to worry about! P-

It's not in your head. I used safer soap for years. It is mildly effective against mites. Have you tried just blending a little cilantro and water? Add aloe and silica for a little extra. Definitely karanja if you don't like the smell of neem. Peace! P-

It will knock them back a little. But why use it? Why not use some neem/karanja oil, essential oils, etc? Sst's contain chitin. ;) P-

I have not usd the VAM, but I have seen nothing but quality come from Bioag. Their Fulpower and TM-7 are excellent. I'll might have to pick up a package some time. The Xtreme gardening mykos are just so damn cheap! Lol! P-
