Organic, pro-biotic and organic growing without bottled nutrients

Anyone tried adding Lactic acid Bacteria to their no till grows?

Been reading up on it and sounds promising.

yep all the time 

soil drench & foliar spraying 

 

you can make your own LAB's at home which is good 

 

or buy EM-1 which has a few more facultative anaerobes in the bottle

than the single lactic acid bacteria you make yourself

Interesting thread, just a question as I haven't read through the whole thing. Is this mainly for indoor use, growing inside pots? I see it referred to no till, here and I have only come across that term when talking about growing outside in the ground. 

 

I love organic growing outdoors, I just find to be very inefficient in terms of inputs personally, needing such a large volume of potting mix (not soil as that is mineral based sorry pet peeve) for indoor growth is counter productive in my opinion. 

 

I think I found your mix for sale online? How much worm castings do you use? I have a booming worm farm here, the most I use worm castings in a potting mix is about 10% for seedlings, would drop it to about 5% for normal growth as I have personally found worm castings to be far too fine to be used in high amounts and tends to drastically reduce the AFP of the potting mixes I make. re reading some posts I see compost is a main ingredient, may I ask what source of organic products are combined to make the compost you source? Is there a reason you use sphagnum peat here in Australia over other potentially locally sourced replacements, the main one I am thinking of is composted and screened pine bark? and is there a reason you use premium canadian peat over coco coir? I am guessing the peat is cheaper to import although I'm not sure on prices of the premium canadian peat. The nursery I use to work at imported a lot of peat from latvia, although it wasn't of the highest quality but it was cheap. I personally am not a fan of sphagnum peat, mainly due to it's potential enviormental impact although I know companies are working hard now to make the production of it much more sustainable.  

 

Cheers looking forwarded to learning more, I am always trying to improve my terrible sandy soils outdoors.
