    Self sustainable gardeners

    Hey all ! I was about to start growing my own ferts (alfalfa, comfrey, yarrow), but after some research, theres something i dont get. As all of them are bio-accumulators, they should have a similar mineral profile to the soil they were grown in, so let's say my soil is lacking Ca, does it mean...

    Need help reamending my soil

    I educated myself a bit about the difference about them and from what I understand sphagnum moss will get more acidic over decomposition and may increase fungal activity ... but "Sphagnum moss is a source of the fungus Sporothrix schenckii, which causes sporotrichosis.
