Ok I thought so but I've personally never used either and didn't know if maybe there were other harmful ingredients in them not to be used with organics..much appreciatedI am not familar with that brand but one is composted forest materials and the other is the same but with composted manure so probably a tad more nutrient rich. But yea you should those. Compost should be the cornerstone of all organic grows.
I would try to avoid compost made from municipal waste, you don't know what people spray on their grass. But that stuff should be straight.Ok I thought so but I've personally never used either and didn't know if maybe there were other harmful ingredients in them not to be used with organics..much appreciated
Are the chicken from a large commercial chicken jail shoving corn down their throats with a reverse vacuum type device all crowded and diseased needed constant antibiotic and hormone shots?
Are the cows locked in jail with machines sucking the teets being fed grains all day injected with hormones and antibiotics, or free range eating grass?
No idea?
then don't use.
Don't care?
then use.
the pine bark, I would not use in potted herb plants, outdoors yes, in pots, no way hosay.
Composted pine bark is fine for potting soils and I've had success with shredded pine mulch in potting soil too, the pine mulch was charged with fish fertilizer. It made up about 10% of the mix.Are the chicken from a large commercial chicken jail shoving corn down their throats with a reverse vacuum type device all crowded and diseased needed constant antibiotic and hormone shots?

It's not something I would recommend unless you've got some experience under your belt with making potting soils and knowing the conditions and quality you need to achieve. We have access to shredded red pine bark and mulch, it breaks down faster than traditional mulch and is probably more likely to have success that some other hardwood mulches. And if you don't charge the mulch than it will rob N from your soil and your plants will grow like shit.I will keep this in mind. Thanks for the info RastaRoy man. I used some mulch before in pots thinking it would provide nice air space, and results were crazy not good, multiple weird deficiencies that I just could not cure, but I admit, it was not pine, nor was it composted. I retract my statement. my bad.
Always glad to share! But yeah, it gives you a good source of nutrients for later in the grow season, sort of like biochar. Not as cool but still not a bad trick!The charging aspect, this is completely new info to me. Never knew, sorta like coco style. hmmmm
This explains the total disaster when I tried using some random mulch shit back in the day.
Excellent info! You are wealth of growing knowledge ma man!
