WTF is this *ugly american* BS? I would imagine his fractured english is more comprehensible than your french. Now, go smoke a bowl and chill the fuck out.

If 500+ worms at a scoop is a 'few', then yeah, a melon rind will attract a few. I've pulled over 2k worms from one bin over 2 days with one piece of rind (rind of ~1/4 of a small watermellon). Let it sit for a couple of days, raise it up, scoop the ball of worms underneath. Replace the rind...

FEED ME SEYMOUR!!!

I use gypsum along with the dolo, both at 1cup/cf. Gypsum offers no real buffering ability (wrong form of Ca), but provides Ca and sulfur. I don't "think" it has Mg, but I will go check the bag to be 100% sure. The sulfur does wonders for taste and the extra Ca is always a plus. Even with what's...

But they do have lime local, right? My biggest bitch with OSF is the shipping. Some years ago I looked into it. The cost of the product is reasonable, $9/40/50lb bag. The shipping though came to $37 for that $9 product! Not no, but HELL no! Your liming agent is usually about the cheapest thing...

Just take care to NOT nod off sitting close to them! Them bassids are quick and you are tasty.:fire:

Yes. I get the pulverized dolomite at HD or Lowes. $4.50/40lb bag. Has worked well for me, for years.

Horizon Herbs is where I got my Bocking 14 cultivars some 7 years ago. Good place, all organic. Do NOT get the wild, seeded comfrey, it can be really invasive. The Bocking cultivars are sterile and stay where you put them. I run the Bocking 14. There is also the Bocking 4. Comfrey does not do...

Like what Johnei said, it starts helping as soon as you apply it, but figure on 2 weeks+ before anything really shows up on the pH meter.

If the buds are already formed you're kinda screwed. They need to ingest it and it's next to impossable to get the BT inside the bud and they don't come out to where the spray has hit. I've eaten a metric shit ton over the years since I use it on my tom plants for hornworms and love to nosh on...

Dolomite lime @1cup/cf of mix not only provides cal/mag, but keeps your mix buffered into the proper pH for growing cannabis. Kinda cool how it does all that with just ONE application when building the mix and it's cheap as hell to boot.

Just for S & G why don't you test the pH of the dolo? Like, whatever the pH is, it won't raise it beyond that point. Doing the same for the oyster shell might be informative also.

Johnei is totally spot on with both of these replys and I agree 420%. Pretty much liquid anything isn't going to do squat for pH except very temporarily. The soil will just buffer it to the soils pH. That's why pHing irrigation water is kinda a useless excercise. The soils pH counts for...

Epsom Salts is A salt, a chemical term and not to be confused with sodiun chloride (table salt, sea salt), which is something else entirely. C'mon Johnei, don't get all butthurt because I don't do teas anymore.:hug: Never really said they were useless, just unnecessary effort for no real...

Adding some plain spagnum peat moss will get your pH down. It's very acidic when not limed, but easy to regulate. Small amounts (like 1/4cup/cf, small), of horticurtural sulfur will also work. REAL easy to overdo it though. Using blood meal or neem to lower pH is just not a good idea. Peat...

Slow down some, it looks like you're getting ready to fix something that's far from broken. Some stuff is simply not available yet and adding more is not going to make it more available, just more of it. 20gal container? It's simple. Top dress a couple Tbl of epsom salts. Top dress 1/4 cup of...

Your mix looks fine as is and really doesn't need anything 'new' added, just a slight tweaking of what you have in there now and some time. The only thing *I* see missing is bone meal, but that may be covered with some of the fish stuff you used. IDK, I don't use fish stuff because of the...

The bugs that get into compost or cycling mix are generally decomposers and welcome guests. The "bad" bugs are usually not around at all, since there is no food (Live plants), for them to attack and eat. The bugs that attack your plants WILL get in sooner or later. That's just a fact of life...

I guess there is no drainage holes in that tote. Those are a must have in whatever you keep mix in. It all depends on what's full and what's available, but a good deal of my cooking mix is outdoors and exposed to the weather. Sometimes in totes, but mostly in the planting containers the mix is...
