Well, I will continue to cook my media between rounds in a tote as long as I'm growing in Earthboxes. The only downside to that is that I will lose the earthworms. When I re amend in the tote, it's gonna get fired up. I calculate all my dry ingredients based on the container size of the tote and then divided by 4, Four rounds of adding media to fill the tote. I add the media and the amendments, mix, bring the media up to proper moisture level with brewed compost tea, with some additional aminos for the microbes, and then mix again. I do that 1 through 3 and the 4th I'll leave the amendments on top, bring up the moisture level and then top with bokashi.
The tote gets pretty hot and pretty quick. It doesn't get hot enough to kill weed seeds, but it is definitely warm enough to break the lifecycle of your bad bugs, maybe not spider mites 100%, but The environment is definitely not a good environment for your bad bugs. With all the good bugs it will make it extremely difficult for them to reestablish. though. Earthworms just won't tolerate that.
I think the majority of my grow methods will become no till in the near future.
Currently, I have two 20 gallon Grassroots Living Earth Pots as no till. All other production girls will be in Earth box juniors in the upcoming run.
Jeremy of BAS is running two Tray2Grow with Grassroots Living Earth beds. That's where I'm going to be paying close attention to in this next series of his. I think they will work just fine and I want to see how he manages it during this first run of this system with him. Maybe I can spot areas that I need to be cautious with, but I think it's gonna be fairly simple and nothing new, really, just a different way of doing it.
I'm going to be testing a new product during this upcoming run. I thought I'd try it out as it does have some interesting mixture to it. I'm pretty sure it's nothing special, like a lot of these concoctions, it just may be different mixture that may be interesting.
After I saw them talk about it quite a bit on The Dude Grows podcast. He went here use it where I've used it in the past?
