Here is a look at the soil I am making with rain forest leaf litter and It is breaking down a lot faster than I thought it would . The worms are doing a great job [ native soil worms ] and there are heaps in there . For moisture I have a thick bit of plastic type stuff that covers it then a bit of ply onto .top . I just take it on and off to control the moisture . works great and it is around 26 days ago I started with the leaf . This photo was the start .

your yard always soothing to meThe rains are here . I love this time of year , every thing comes alive , It's hard to explain but you can feel the life force exploding . I have some good things planed for the season , mostly things to do with soil building and microbes and native Rain Forest composting .

and love your strawy mulch!Day 14 @Tobe , All is good , they are growing nicely and have a nice structure , so far they have only a worm tea and are still living off the soil , but I will start feeding soon .

oh yeah, I've been thinking about this since i saw a few days ago. If grow room was planned to accommodate a 5 gal brew bucket, you could do brew as ya bud, when active lots of CO2 discharged. My tiny mind struggling with multi-tasks.:smoking:Another Hi Tech addition , Diy co2 generator , just been primes , so lets see what happens , I'll post as soon as I see it is working . Good ho hear from ya Vas hows things mate and Mr @Eyes on Fire Ya a funny bugger .
