Yeah I watched a documentary about Terra preta. And when the scientist tried to figure out why things were growing so well and then 50 feet away it was like dessert. They found charcoal and pottery shards. And they realized that the char was holding the microbes as well as nutrients and water...
I was always told the bigger the better. The more space for roots to grow the better. Your space is only 2x3. It doesn't matter how many plants you have your canopy is limited to 2x3. I'd only grow two plants but I'd go with the biggest pot size you could fit.
That's only my opinion. There are...
First off I do make my own biochar in my fire pit but it's winter and I am not planning on sitting out by my little stove in the back yard.
Can this be used? Crushed up then inoculated?
I emailed them and they didn't add anything to it. It's 100% charred hardwood. Other then the gravel you find...
I've got two earthboxes and two 15Gallon geopots.
The trash bags are on top because I just put a layer of bokshi bran and earthworm casting to grow a mycelium layer. I want to have straw but I haven't been to by buddies place yet. He has horses.
As for being antipest nope. I am battling fungus...

Some people prefer metal halide for veg because of the bluer spectrum of light. But the output of actual photons is less then HPS.
HPS has more red leaning spectrum which some people prefer for flowering.
But the plant really wants a high number of photons. Kind of like quantity over quality...
You could try adding some bokashi infused bran to a pile.
Also adding some kelp meal, oyster shell flour, crab meal, pretty much any powder could help in the long run especially one that takes a long time to break down. Powdered egg shells.
Paul Stamets is THE mushroom guy. He even wears a hat made out of mushroom. He has written quite a few books about mushrooms. He has even named a couple new species. He also discovered the medicinal qualities of a bunch of species. Just Google his name there are tons of videos on YouTube. If you...
I'm in a similar situation. I started 5 Northern Lights 2/5 actually germinated.
So I tried a green Crack and blueberry. Neither one popped after 10 days so I tried a Jack Herer and bubblegum. So I have 2 Northern lights like 3 weeks older the my Jack Herer and bubblegum. Also one of my Northern...
Essential oils are condensed versions of their origin. This makes them highly fragrant, and also oil based. The fact that they are oils allows them to stick to the leaves and not wash off like other pesticides and deterrents. This will last for a couple weeks. It is not only oil based, but it is...
Peppermint Oil
Peppermint oil is fresh and crisp, and that is exactly what ants do not like. The smell of peppermint oil is enough to turn a line of marching ants right around, and it is one of the safest essential oils to use for do it yourself pest control in your home.
Before you even...
