Okay, was it one of the prime ones? All I can find is wiggle worm

Prime?
I just checked the specifics: couldn't find what worms were used. But it's a 1-0-0, so kinda light npk wise. The company used rabbit manure and Alfalfa meal for the worm food. You can probably find better/stronger but it was organic and in a small enough of an increment to last until my worm bin is ready for harvesting.

or you can just make a compost bin and order the worm species and do it like that saves bunches of money and like no space at all.

I have been considering a base made with 25% coir, 20% compost, 20% leaf mold, 15% cattle manure, 15% worm castings and 5% oyster shell. What could be a better humus-rich base than that?

I like this. I Am trying about the same thing but at,
1gl forest mould,
1.5gl sand,
1gl clay,
3gl hot composted saw dust manure, and
1gl pure cow manure.
Which makes a cubic foot and I Am adding Rich Earth Humate at 5 cups per cubic foot and that's pretty much it... I will amend later with kelp and others as needed.

Going to add like .5-1gl of ash too... Unless that's too much?

Midwest if you enjoy reading and want the cleanest and some of the best tasting mmj you might consider ordering True Living Organics by The Rev. Really is an awesome read.IMO

That book is pretty good. Been a fan of the rev for some time. I've never had the balls to do the whole spikes and layers thing though.

Yea he likes to use a steer manure/coir/greensand/perlite blend as a bottom layer and does spikes with blends of different amendments. Seems too tedious for my style. His tea recipes are pretty intense too.

I was under the impression that the Rev goes no till with grows

As far as i know he just recycles and re-amends in large totes. Not sure if he got into the no-till game.
