I kinda get the whole organic thing, its just not "my thing".. I can understand how some people would get a nature boner over the whole idea, but I'm just not one of those people. Maybe if I just had a patient card and was doing a few home grown, I might could get into it. Running a large crop, it's just not practical. Good on ya for going organic tho!.. You're keeping the price down on us bottle nute users LOL!I always heard that you don't need to worry about pH in organic soil, but that's not entirely true I've realized, lol. If you have the right balance of everything in the soil, sure the pH should be in the proper range, but I'm still learning the whole organic thing, and added too many Ca based amendments which want to buffer my pH up. Lesson learned, and I still have many more to learn. Microbes can only do so much to buffer the pH in my experience so far.
One cool thing about no-till is that the soil will develop a nice mycorrhizae hyphae network that will feed the plant what it wants. And that network will just get better and better over time. When people remix their old soil, they are destroying that network. Those guys that grow those record breaking 1000lb pumpkins are all about the mycorrhizae network.
I am getting one of those pens though soon. I actually almost ordered one last night, lol.
