Really? jrock likes the sound of that shit all day long. Is it hard to achieve? I looked into threads about it but i couldnt find much besides mentions of it. That would really save me some cash on promix all the time too.

It's my first run at it bro and my plants are the healthiest they have ever been and my workload is a lot easier lol. For me the organics part came secondary, since I am a pt, I was looking for something easier for me to manage and not have to worry about PH. EC. TDS, PPM's or any of that crap anymore.
You feed the soil, plant grows itself, everyone is happy.

Check this thread out, full of great soil "recipes" , soil building links, ipm recipes, etc.... it's a long read but it's worth it. Headtreep, rrog, cann, and many others have great knowledge of no till and living organics. Seemed intimidating at first but now I'm just gathering all my materials for building my own soil along with my own compost bin, worm farm, etc.

Thankyou! I actually have looked innto this before but never no till. i always thought i had to replace soil. looks like i have my reading cut out for myself tomorrow. i have had a compost bin for 3 years now i just always used it for my tomatos and peppers and top dressing for bulbs and flowers around the yard. It was loaded with little red worms this summer, when i would till it i would see them all. I was always told if u got a bunch of worms in ur compost its good compost as the worms are happy and eating what ur puttin in

Worms in the compost is excellent, use that shit to topdressing your plants and I can pretty much guarantee you will see better results than with that fox farm bottle stuff. When I get back in the garden I won't be using that crap anymore, or GH , or anything bottled for that matter. I don't even do no till yet but getting my compost bin together and shopping for amendments has been exciting

They are the key ingredient. Some folks think they do no till and have no worms, then you're a slave to compost teas, when you have the worms they poop in your pot instant EWC all the time and as fresh as it gets.

For sure thankyou. I will definatley get in there to read tomorrow. Will worms die if soil is left to dry out moderately? i know they sink down into moisture when it gets dry but i woudnt wanna kill em. that would suck

They are good as long as it doesnt dry out and stay dry for long periods

Alright well looks like ive got quite alot of leaning to do tomorrow. Seems like half the work is making sure the worms and eveyone else is happy and fed in the soil and the rest falls into place. This will be my next adventure as it seems most cost effective and smart. Not to mention the plants will love it.

That's a lot of learning to do for no till but it's worth it. I understand a lot about Mycology and beneficial microbes and all that good stuff but it's one of those things where I could read for a month straight but doesn't compare to actually trying it out. I'm gonna have to wait awhile until I move and start experimenting with it.
