You are very welcome to revel and join in the madness!

Today, again, I am flebberjested and standing in awe before my plants.
All 8 of them, every single one of them showing new growth every day.
Even the tiny tiny little one that lost one of its preleaves, it still managed to unfold its first set of leaves, AMAZING!!! That one’s gonna be extra potent!
My hair says yes.

If you’re wondering about the vetch laying down like that, when they first sprouted the light was obstructed by the blue pot so they had to surge and kept surging.

All of this is only getting 11 hours of light most of the time, there have been rare days of 12 and 13.
I don’t set alarms or anything, just looking at the clock when I turn the light on and set the intention for 11 hours, if I turn it off later then it’s divinely ordained!

Chunk of amethyst to provide some shadow, hold moisture and speed up decomposition.
I’ll add a few more stones later.
Good reason to go for a walk!

Thanks @BeagleZ for the idea!

A big fat motherlode of groove.
Ma babies growin’.

This one has a bit more subs going on.
Straight up cool drum and bass.

Cutting up the peels?
HAH!
That requires effort, we don’t do that around here.
Like this it holds moisture longer.
Shadow also encourages faster decomposition.

That vetch in the top left is being a joker.
No idea what it’s doing but it’s amusing me.
Thank you vetch, keep going!

Dropped in an apple core about a week ago, all I recognize of it now is the seeds,
the rest is a small patch of brown goo. :nerd_face:
The fungi take over pretty much immediately, within hours they’ve already penetrated all of it,
invisible to the naked eye.

What size is the pot? You got a whole freaking oasis in there! I saw above you have rolly pollys, any worms?

Big one is 9 Liters and the small one 1 L.
In total it’s under 3 gallons.

I have put some worms in all my pots a long time ago but I’m not sure if they all survived and laid eggs.
But probably!

Ofcourse!

Fungi like the oils too, it’s all food!

It disappears as fast as anything else.

I mean, oyster mushroom mycelium breaks down used engine oil.

There’s fungi that eats plastic. Mother Earth has a solution for every problem we face.

At the core of it, all we need to do is feed her seeds and spores and watch in awe at how she fixes everything.

And provide (or “harvest water” when growing outside) in the very beginning, until she can hold her own moisture.

Now, I don’t throw anything in there that didn’t come from a seed or spore.
No processing or refinement. Raw and unadulterated. Not tampered with, brewed or fermented.
No special procedures or training needed, no machines, no bottles, no money, no effort necessary.

Yeah, Paul Stamets is one of my all time hero’s. What he’s done with mycelium is mind blowing!
As always, thanks for your insight!
