[itchybromusic]

It also could be poss to buy an off the shelf endo / ecto , purple nonsulfur bacteria , azos ect

& culture that at home , i have never done this but " Think " it could be poss to extend the product amount this way

Yer... I bought some Mycorr off the shelf, bought some Great White. Which seems good and used Marty Crafts method .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDkOC71jlVY

I dont grow in soil, I use coco. But it works just as well, and I also save on coco each grow. I use about 1/3 of my old coco, after a good flush at the end of flowering it is ready for 

use again.

Its not cheap, but if your growing it yourself then its cheap.

"if your growing it yourself then its cheap."

That's it in a nut shell , AKA Closed Loop Farming 

everything you grow & need to use to grow comes from your land 

& is put back into the land , this way you have allot more control over how 

food / medicine is produced , in theory anyway

Dragonfly Earth Medicine are right in to the closed loop farming method 

& produce some inoculants for growing our fav erb & some food stuffs for humans

Also i'm not a facebooker but if you are then have a look at the Probiotic Farmers Alliance ( started by the Grokashi guys ) 

not a FB fan but I'm so very tempted to join just for that

so many things to do & try

Been thinking about a microscope ,

cos you really need to know what's in your compost teas if you brew'em 

yes , humic acid , i'd like to see & hear all about that if you give it a go

my little no till garden bed seems to be kicking of well. looks like it will replace coco for me. simply layered straw, manure and compost, seedling looks healthy as in it. once i can add bokashi and some of the other goodies im learning about should be awesome

[forgetiwashere]

this is the base substrate i will be using for my organic gardening. small no till garden beds. if it works as well as i hope it will be 1 50l bed per plant. straw/chook poo/straw/cow poo/straw/worm poo/straw/compost.

 

so far the seedlings love it. the larger seedling was neglected to the point it was yellow and near death. after a week in this bed it has really taken off.

Hey FIWH

Looking forward to watching progress

 

Sounds like plenty of N there 

did you count on that because of the straw / high carbon 

would be using so much N to break down in the mix

 

BTW make sure you use a mask while messin with ya mix or any mix for that matter 

poo can get a lill funky & cause you probs mate
