GREEN'S PROBIOTIC METHOD

They aren’t in the reservoir, but in the soil. I did my first top dress before Easter in prep for my next run; then we decided to move. Been keeping the res filled but haven’t poked around in the soil. Getting set back up I checked the soil and surprise, there is a decent population of worms doing what they do.

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.

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.
