Ok, @ReikoX, @CADMAN, @Sebring and a few others have inspired me. So now I’m attempting a quasi no till container. I’m starting it now so that its ready in a few months when I’m going to be ready to plant in it.
My mom actually got these containers from gardens.com around y2k. She used them for ten years, and I’ve been using them for 10 more years since she passed. They are basically hempy tubs. I don’t think they still make them, I’ve searched and cannot find these on their site.
I was recommended to try the platinum mix from coast of Maine, so thats my main soil. I’m amending it with a ton of mycco innoculants and roots terp tea powders. I mixed in as I went to try and get it more even.
I tossed a few contaminated grain spawns from assorted experiments over the winter which I had been saving in a box to mix into my garden soil, but hey! Its a party, right? As you can see apparently daddy long legs wanted to dance even though he contaminated with trich! He still put out a bunch of in vitro fruits. Anyways they all got buried. I have had contaminated blocks that I buried colonize in my garden, but only a few fruits. I have a feeling I’m going to get some fruits from this one though.
I put in a container of European night crawlers to start eating all the corn, rice, grain, straw, rice hulls etc, from the contaminated spawn… Then I topped it with some cover crop seeds that I lightly mixed into the soil on top. And now we wait. I used one full bag of soil.
So I’m hoping that I can complete a grow in here and only add calmag.
plants during super hot summer days when I had to work long shifts too.
