I used yucca in the water when I initially packed it, along with EM1 and Recharge. And I used it when I tried to correct with top-watering. But it never occurred to me to add it to the reservoir. Thanks for that tip. Would adding dry yucca when mixing soil be worthwhile?

My intention was to re-amend, plant a cover crop, and introduce some worms. Then perhaps feed the worms on the edges of the dry area and see if their activity worked to correct the situation. But dumping and re-packing after amending will prolly be the way I go, if just because of curiosity if...

Okay, lots of input. Let’s see what I can add. The biochar I added is small bits, from buildasoil, the wicking basket does rest on the bottom of the reservoir, and after looking at my notes and the bags I have laying around here I’m pretty sure I packed both wicks with Happy Frog. Because it...

Newb question here- I’m looking at building a couple of SIPs for indoor use, using 16.5 gallon totes. What are y’all using for covers? Plastic, fabric, recycled garments torn by Prohibitionists every time another state goes legal? LOL I’m assuming the cover is there to control evaporation in...
