Compost is the bomb. I make vermi compost using my thermal which has kelp neem and everything in it already.

What would you say is the laziest way to approach notill but still get decent results? Iā€™ve been thinking more lately about low effort or more efficient growing methods.

Laziest way would be to buy a good pre mixed soil like kis organics along with an all around fertilizer like down to earth biolive or a really good compost (which i prefer). Then i would setup a tropf blumat setup to keep your soil moisture consistent. Pop the seeds in the forever home and youre pree much on cruize control

No-til Hippie??? Whoa, itā€™s good to hear from you, brotha! Idk if you remember but youā€™re actually the one that convinced me to go No-Till years back!! Crazy cuz I was just thinking about you yesterday right after I made this account lol. Such a coincidence to see you posting here on the same day I decide to sign up and snoop around haha.

What happened to Growtube, did you guys kick me out?? šŸ„¹ I noticed the growtube server disappeared from my discord one day and sometime later I think I saw mention that dawggo had shut the server down or something? Hope all has been well on your end man. I still appreciate everything you taught me! And you taught me a lot. Iā€™m still learning and running into problems every now and then though. Still learning nonetheless haha

Oh man, youā€™re getting me more excited. I really appreciate the link. I live in southern Colorado and the humidity % is normally in the teens. My compost pile is almost five years old and the same size as when I started, lol.

I grew up in the SE and a compost pile with lots of fresh nitrogen/grass clippings for instance, would get hot fast on itā€™s own. High humidity and steady temps, usually hot, made it go off fast.

Here I canā€™t even get the tomato seeds to compost. I have tom. plants growing out of the pile at the middle of every season.

Iā€™ve been wondering how to get it back on track. Do you think it might still need some enzymes or something? Or would a pile that tall and more fresh still cook fast/hot enough?

Iā€™m hoping to get the KNF down pretty good so I can get plenty of fpj/ffj to last through winter. Iā€™ve been organic for a long time but Iā€™m still using ProMix and Roots dry nutes. :tired_face:

peace
