Heres what I found on HSO website while doing some research. Figured it'll do good posted here. The main strategy behind amending with Bokashi is the use of microbiology to digest organic amendments into plant-usable forms. Bokashi is traditionally a grain fermented with a specific combo of...

How long usually till it dies out? Is there a chance that it just never dies out? Baja

Could you explain why you do this? I'm curious as to whats happening and why we wait. I have a new mix in a 30 gal bed running coots style and also top dressed with bokashi. After 3 days I started seeing mycelium. How long should I wait from here to start transplanting my babes? Thanks for any...

Update: I decided to mixed everything together, wetted it down, and let it cook for about 3 or 4 days. When I got back to it this is what I found. An explosion of LIFE! You can clearly see the mycelium populating! Baja

Nvm. My b. Just saw the one pic showing how you cut pieces of pvc and drilled holes through em for support one love Baja

How do you support the bottom of the first container? When I put 2 bins inside each other theres not much room at the bottom and I can't imagine the net pot is holding all that weight from the soil. Are you just putting in pieces of pvc for support? Baja

Heres my compost tea after about 20 hours of brewing. Whoas!!! Should I dump it in my bio-char now? or give it alil more time to innoculate? Hoping this brings the PH of the bio char down some. Baja

Hey, thanks for your input. I'm hoping the coco helps with the low PH. I'm also adding Bio char which is usually higher in PH to treat over acidic soils. I was told If I add oyster flour to this mix it would be too akaline. I'm also told the AG TM-7 has Iron that most of us don't need. How bout...

How would one buffer coco before using in organic living soil build? I have cal mag but am i really gonna soak my coco in bottled nutrient solution before running it in a no till? I'm thinking just put everything together and let nature do its thing for 2 weeks to a month before testing it...

Bio-Char conditioning. I sprinkled alil bokashi in there also.. Compost tea that I making for the char with EWC, chicken manure, and alil bu's blend compost. getting ready to put the bed together pics coming? Baja

So you're saying more Mg and Ca with less K gives the balance in coco. Interesting. Well I've adjusted the langbeinite to 8 tablespoons. Heres the updated list: Bio char charging plan 2.5 gallons bio char 2.5 gallons of either EWC, Compost, Manure, or mixed ratios of all 11 Tablespoons of...

This is what I found on their site. Looks like my math is wrong. You guys are right. Need to use less Langbenite. I'm making adjustsment to the recipe now. Thanks a bunch for bringing this to my attention. This is why I'm here. Love Baja From their site: The Recipe: This kit will balance...

I also have everything already. So its not like I'm waiting to buy it all. Baja

You guys are scaring me with the langbenite. Looks like i'm gonna take more time learning before I mix this recipe up. I'll get the Bio-char ready in the mean time. Thanks peeps! Baja

From what I learned, coco holds alot of K and doesnt release it as fast, Theirfore you must add, not subtract. The slow release is what gets you. I've grown in coco for years witout any issue. But it was using a flood and drain setup with jacks 3 2 1 style. Baja

So your saying make a small batch and check it? I followed BAS recomendations. This is the ratio they recommend for coco. The only thing different between their peat mix is the langbenite vs oyster flour. Oyster flour in the peat, Langbenite in the coco. In those ratios i have listed. You...

Funny thing is, ill either have two 5 gal pots or three 3 gal pots going next to this coco bed that will be filled with living soil that is peat based. So I guess Im really going to be able to tell the difference between peat vs coco. I just realized that its happening this way. lol But the...

After more thinking and adjusting, here is my updated list. Just gathered up my (Raw) Bio-Char. Getting ready to charge it.will take pics. Bio char charging plan 2.5 gallons bio char 2.5 gallons of either EWC, Compost, Manure, or mixed ratios of all 11 Tablespoons of alfalfa meal 2...

I keep telling myself things like this and it adds up and in the end. check my earlier comments. I'm trying to just use the things up that I have. Not trying to spend money where I don't need to. I could get carried away easily. I havent seen any journals or books or real attempts like this...

Sorry you had that experience. I hope mine turns out well. Did you make adjustments for running coco when you did? Did you use langbenite? I feel if you know how coco works then you should be able to do it without any issues. Need the cocofessionals to chime in here. One love Baja
