Oni's 2nd grow. Lessons learned

[anon86068642]

I didn’t use soap in this other than borax. I followed the guide @MomOnTheRun posted that followed motr’s triangle.

Backyard soil rejuvenation project

This Fill a clear jar ~1/3 with soil then fill jar with water and a tsp non foaming dish soap or borax (helps clay settle) and shake for ~5minutes to break it all up. Sand settles at 15min, Silt after 1 hr and clay after 24hrs - ignore matter that may be floating…measure in mm’s and add all numbers together then divide each layers mm # by the total and multiply by 100 for the percentage. For example: 20mm sand + 17mm silt + 13mm clay = 50 mm total Sand: 20mm/50=0.4 x 10…

Should I dump that water out, fill it up, and test it again?

I used my tap water at 7.3 pH. Distilled water almost always tests at about 5.5 pH for me
