Mad reps for a guy that tells me the secret amount of lime to add...just sayinWont let me give u rep rite now...sorry....make sure when ur adding ur epsom n lime to use good judgement n not add too much.
Ha....depends on how much soil ur mixing...if its granulated/powder lime I sprinkle abt a tblsp per five gallons of soil mix...Mad reps for a guy that tells me the secret amount of lime to add...just sayin
I use the same stff..and have used both methods...the sprinkle on top n water thru and also just premixing in soil...both seem to work wellI put 2 tbsp in my 5 gallon, worked into the top inch or so of soil. This was the peletized dolomite lime.
you want castings for veg........compost for flower..............roots not that wiggle worm garbageI'll be starting these seedlings on a rotation between my box during "lights on" cycle and middle shelf of closet during the "dark" cycle...clamp CFL'S to the top shelf and we're good to go? I have a "wall" to put around to contain the light. After a few more weeks of flowering left on my first grow I'll move them down...I originally wanted to set up a second box for veg but recent events have got me in exhaust and air filtration mode.
ive not been able to find pure worm castings in my area...ive found a potting soil that has em mixed in already (it says) but thats it...yes worm castings would b good for the mix if u can find em.....my yard is infested w worms...I get at least half a dozen w every shovel turn...ive wondered how I can I can use em to get my own castings...anyone?...woody u know?you want castings for veg........compost for flower..............roots not that wiggle worm garbage

take pics of the stuff that crawls outI live next to a river n my soil is black n fluffy n full of worms...I cut this down to the base every year n it grows bk bigger every year...View attachment 2763802..banana tree...everything in the yard does well...ive thought abt giving one a run just in soil from my yard mixed w perlite...just for the hell of it to see how it'd do.
Haha...bad visual image of a nightmarish garden....no outside soil in I changed my mind..hatake pics of the stuff that crawls out
so do u or can u seperate the castings from soil?....or just let the worms hang out in that cooler w some soil for a while seperate the worms then use the soil?i dont use stuff from outside........ im just not that organic.........some people do but i wont take the chance.........start a worm farm ....chest cooler and a couple dozen red worms from the bait shop
i dont worm farm............ but theres nothing to it i had one in about second grade.........when the material inside is processed you just move it all to one side and add new stuff the worms go over to eat the new stuff and you scoop out the old........you would want to sift it then to seperate out egg cocoon things but the hardcore dontso do u or can u seperate the castings from soil?....or just let the worms hang out in that cooler w some soil for a while seperate the worms then use the soil?
