This was fresh soil and used Colorado ewc while I waited for my own castings. There were worms and cocoons in the bagged ewc.

Posted this in the Bodhi thread, but thought I should post this here also as this is where my organic journey began. 2 Space Monkey in 15 gal Earthboxes. Love that Monkey!

I see...I got one of those. It's only 1 cu.ft. of soil. The rest is the res I believe.

It holds 2 cu ft of soil and roughly 3 gallons of water. You really need to tamp down the wicks as they have been known to dry out. As soon as I can I’m going to build a couple 30 gallon. It going to be nice to have the whole floor be a wick.
Thank you for posting, looks like a nice harvest and healthy cycle. Congrats and enjoy!

Here we go again...
2 Bodhi Peach Hp. Boxes were given 3rd top dressing of Barley, Crab, Insect Frass, My own ewc, Bu’s Blend compost and Grokashi. Will wait until they settle in then topdress again and flip. Worm population has exploded!

Nice. Did you put anything on top of the plastic deck, under the soil, to keep worms from getting into the res?

I did not. It was honestly a complete surprise when I lifted the cover and the soil moved from the worms scurrying underground. It should be ok as most of the worms are concentrated in the top couple inches or so, but I’ll definitely take a look in the res once I finish up

I didn't either. This is my first run with an eb, so I'm still learning it, but so far so good! I put about 15 worms in mine but I never see them. Idid see a couple dead ones on my tent floor though. Lol

Quick question for y’all,
I did notice a ton of pot worms also in my SIP’s. Soil too acidic? Should I add some more oyster shell? Appreciate the feedback.

OSF is mainly calcium,reading the label on mine it says may take up to a year to notice a pH change?No idea if thats correct or not.

Huh, that’s weird. It has to work faster to neutralize ph or this style wouldn’t work. Right?

Do you see anything on your plant to make you think somethings wrong?

I just transplanted them last night. Pot worms aren’t bad and slowly eat organic matter, but are a sign of over feeding and low ph in my worm bin. I correct it with crushed egg shells and they slowly disappear. It should probably be fine....
