Ok so last night it froze, not badly but it got to about 30. My super soil has been outside for a couple days in 2 plastic swimming pools covered with a tarp. Will a couple freezes kill my super soil? Thanks and happy growing

Awesome dude thanks for the reply man, I stuck a thermometer in the center of my mix and it seems like it's generating heat!
yea, ya gotta also remember if the microbes were that sensitive, we'd have some serious problems in winter time.. In fact, I would speculate that adding a good amount of BIMs to your soil would be advantageous to have over simply vermicompost microbes, I would guess that the BIMs would be more temperature tolerant.
Annnd one more time... speaking out my ass, it's just speculation.

If I threw a couple drops of Superthrive in with the water I moisten the soil with you think it would be helpful?

no, but that's another can of beans right there, superthrive doesn't do anything for your plants man, it was debunked a bit ago, wish I had the links.
Go search for it and you'll see.
I'd just use go old regular water

don't worry man, I bought me some superthrive back in the late 90s..
I think the majority of growers have bought something useless in their time.
That's why there are millions of dollars in this industry, sucker born every minute.
Shit man I never really did the research I just saw it in the garden section my first season and it sounded so convincing! Haha

there ARE some things that work almost like magic though.
Aloe, coconut water, sprouted seed teas, fermented plant extracts, aacts..
You want visible proof, those are the ones to use.
