Just a friendly Point Chem.....Organic's is not, nor does it have to be "a lot of work"!
In the long run. It is FAR easier for me to mix a soil (water only start to finish) and simply open the grow and water it (no measuring, no metering, no adjusting) and walk away......I use less water too!
Is it labor intensive to actually make the soil? No,,,,I use a local organic soil charged with 30 days nutrition and amend that for my "water only soil" (I don't like the term "supersoil").....I recharge the used soil after use and reuse it = even more savings.....Yes, it takes 30 days to "cook" (original soil mixing - recharge can be used pretty much right away) but once you've done your first,,,you'll never go back!
