GREENQUEEN Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 I've used a few brought bags of stuff to mix up with my own backyard soil for filling the pots as I've already put all my good homemade amendments into the ground,,,this years fish mix consists of,reef shark,spanner crab's and Murray cod Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENQUEEN Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Than I chop it all up together and give it a good mix,I've used an old chopping board, the kids blue pool and small axe to get thus job done also u find if you do it while its frozen it makes the job a lot easier, I chop it till it looks like this Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENQUEEN Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Basically I'm just giving mother nature a kick up the bum to move things along bit faster with the breaking it down part if I had just put things like whole fish and crabs in the hole than this process would take a lot longer for the worms and other critters to do the same job but because I've chopped it up I'll be able to plant on top of this in just a couple of weeks and by the time the roots get down the fish mix it will be well and truly be being broken down by all the critters and that's what I'm after Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENQUEEN Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Next step and I reckon this is important,LESS IS MORE when it comes to using a mix like this especially if your going to use it in pots,so just a very small handful in pots and two decent handfuls into each hole or per plant and DO NOT COVER IT WITH DIRT,leave it a couple of days first and then put some dirt over it for the same reasons as before it just helps break it down a little faster Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
