With that said, here are a couple pictures of my EB setup process in preparation for the SSDD F2 bx1.
I pack the wicks tight, watering as I go to ensure compaction. I mound up the soil to the top of the planter.
Next, I put a placeholder pot(s) and fill 1/2 way with soil.
I then add 2 cups of OSF as a ph buffer. 1 cup per cubic foot.
Fill the EB the rest of the way with soil and give it a good watering.
Next, add your first lasagna layer of Barley, Crustacean meal, Insect Frass, EWC, Compost, Grokashi and water in.
Fill the reservoir and cover the planter. I let it sit for a couple weeks, filling the reservoir if needed.
Note to self: This is recycled soil, so I should be able to veg longer.
