Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

[hillbill]

A blender works wonders on pellets or pelletized or coarse crushed items Oster cheap ones still have thick ha stainless blades.

I saw some pics a couple pages back of ppl showing off. Great job! Here are mine in a 4x4 grasssroots living soil bed (now that I have internet again...lol). It’s a Coots no-till soil with some extras at about a year a half old. Over did the amendments somewhere along the line and it’s water only now. But they are WWxBB at week 10, I’m about to harvest them.

Checked up on the no till raised bed on wheels today. Things are really starting to fill in! I uprooted some small wild raspberry bushes last week and added them into the mix aswell. They seem to have taken hold of the new home. All the plants are doing great. No defficiencies as of yet.

We have chooks and a big bag of crushed Oyster shells for a food supplement - BUT they are 'pullet sized', maybe 1/4", which I think may be too big to use in a SS mix. Should I bother? Maybe I can crush some up with a mortar and pestle? Anyone have experience with that?

So far I have some used soil,
compost,
Perlite,
Bone Meal
Blood meal
Kelp meal
Alfalfa meal
Worm castings
And I'm going to add:
Neem meal,
Azomite
Maybe some crab or Crustacean meal.

Does this sound like a decent recipe?

Sounds good, a little gypsum never hurts

Thanks, I will add that to the list. It should be cheap and easy to obtain, and it certainly wouldn't hurt to diversify my minerals.

 

[hillbill]

Lots of minerals from different sources seems to make my mixes more forgiving and the plants do great.

Running outa containers, bamboo stakes, n tomato cages, just topped everyhing off with some fresh compost and worms. Foliar feeding epsom salt. Ran outa LAB's and weeping willow tree tea n havent brewed any more yet. Working on multiplying bottled microbes with aeration dilution and sugars in effort to get my dollars worth back outa it (lol( so ill put that to the test next week. Got some corn seed sprouting gonna make a sst and throw it in with the microbes for a ultimate microbe enzyme tea lol

No topping thus year just letting the plant go as naturally as i possibly can without diminished returns. Lollipopped this year and sewms to keep alota bugs out.

All my own home brewed strains except the tallest lanky sativa on the right. Its nearly 7 feet at this point tied a broomstick to it lol. Given to me as a seedling in a phillidelphia cheese container from a friend. Its name is philly cheese.

Emerald Triangle Seeds Regs? I always wondered how they were. Supposedly the regs were from americans and the fems were made in europe so hit or miss. Looks great.
