I would say avoid manure based composts and find something local that is more woody made with plant material that smells like mushrooms

Green is most likely trichoderma

Running your kelp and various amendments through your worm bins first and then using the enriched castings on your plants I believe I going to do more benefit for us than anything else we could think of

Aerated compost teas are boof tek. Soaking things like nettle, comfrey, alfalfa, kelp etc in water overnight can be pretty beneficial but just topdress the compost.

Good compost and castings is really all you need. Good woody compost that smells like mushrooms. You can inoculate the soil with whatever strain of fungi you want. Oyster mushrooms are exceptional at breaking down roots.

You're better off making a worm bin and using the castings. Putting the worms in really isnt going to hurt anything but theyre probably not going to affect much either. You cant even get close to the kind of worm population you can get in a worm bin in your plants container. If its recycling...

Why would you bump this 10 year old dumbass shit

You can usually find it sold as Volcanite, Mother Earth brand

The Green Probiotic Method with the SIPs is basically organic DWC but better

Was looking into this topic recently...anyone have anything else to add?

Too much alkalinity in the soil and too much magnesium is detrimental to soil biology...same reason you dont want to use langebeinite. Gypsum, oyster shell, and basalt are better options for minerals. Kelp, alfalfa, neem, and karanja are all good. No animal products except maybe crab...

Lime is not necessary...

Straw bedding or wood chips...if you can find those tree service dudes that go around and process the broken branches after storms and shit, thats the good stuff

Second cycle in this soil

If you bloom the organisms in water with air and sugar they will go in the container at a high cell count but when they find an environment without enough food the population will again die back to match the food levels in your environment.
