Jraven's New Soil. Time to dig in.

[Jraven]

I've got the soil in the house for now, Robbio. Chances are I'll keep it in till I want to use it.
It's @ 40f outside today. It's been a pretty mild winter for us.

Internal combustion Whoe,Sounds like the micro herd is getting after each other.Whats the temp were you are at this time of year.Peace.

I just started a Bokashi compost. I got an e-book and I should read it to see if I'm doing It right lol. But was wondering if anyone here is doing it? Hope all's well with everyone

 

[robbio]

I don,t use animal fat or any kind of meat,in my compost.I haven,t read much on Bokashi compost.I,m sorry i could not be of any help.I will have to educate myself on this method.Pretty cool tho,if you have an E book on it sounds like you got some good information.Peace.

It seems like it would be an advantage in colder climates. You can do it indoors they say. Most winters our outdoor compost goes to sleep lol. Not this winter but it's been exceptionally mild. I'll let you know if it stinks!

Caught up and subbed in bud. In regards to the rock phosphate, you should be okay. Being that it is a rock, and pelleted (not pulverized/dust) it should take a while to decompose. Slower than the fish bone meal at least.

Very slow release P source. Releases over several years in acidic and neutral soils, but won’t break down in alkaline soils (pH higher than 7). - See more at: http://www.grow-it-organically.com/organic-phosphorus-fertilizers.html#sthash.g6JXOA65.dpuf

Soft RP would decompose faster as it has clay base. Nice job on making the myco batch, looks great man! Talk to you later bud! :smoking:

I may have missed something, but are you growing in a solarium? I see it in the key words... I have to say that would make me a bit jealous. Roof tops gardens, and solarium gardens are on my "I want! I want! I want!" list.

Thanks for coming by @Fuggzy, yes I built the solarium or sunroom or whatever it is lol last year. It's not very big, the room is 8'x10' but real growing space is maybe 3'x9'. It's nice to have all the light we can get in this climate(cloudy Southeast Alaska). It's really the best I can do for my grow... outdoors doesn't work so good and don't have power for indoor. I've got high hopes just hope my Mephisto beans like the soil I made them

Here's the solarium, we'll be moving out the greenery so it's just ny girls and maybe a tomato or two.
