You can add just about anything that's organic matter gigz.

I add my kitchen scraps, weeds, comfrey leaves, coffee grounds, teabags (without the top half). Even half eaten veggies or things gone over ripe.

And you meant worm eggs right? Cos I wouldn't think there'd be any cocoons in your pile. Unless something else has made its home in there.

So I may have access to a she'd on a property and have been contemplating on taking up the offer to do perpetual grow. But in the Queensland sun in an uninsulated she'd I'll need airconditioning. Any of you guys done a grow in a standard tin shed. It's 15x10
yes..but I'm in Tassie..lol

The temp swings thru the year is crazy.

Go AC on an auto seting and have it running 24/7. Id also look at tents rather than building a room. This has a few advantages.

What would you say the advantages of a tent over a room ? Time of construction/deconstruction is the only thing I can come up with. If he’s looking at doing a 10 lighter.

I spose lot of debate would come down to wat light system you want to run...for example when I done a 10k 10 plant system early 90s it was chinamen hats and old school hps so no way could we have used a tent.
We insulated the room gyprocked it and built ceiling fans etc into it.
Then the drums with the nuets n water etc were outside of the room
