The Canadian Contingent (Part 1)

There is a quick Beam test you can do yourself for CBD.

It’s more of a yes, no test but useful in some applications.

I would ring up the folks at https://blackswallowsoil.com/ - Brantford-based, they’re just generally super helpful and likely would point you in the right direction of who they use in the area for this sort of thing.

Check out SGS. I know a few people who use it. In Ontario as well

I can attest to this. I’ve been loving it. I’m swapping everything over moving forward & selling all my bottled nutes & never looking back after one of my current runs is finished.

They also have a 3 cubic foot bag that’s not listed on the web site. That’s the right size for me! :+1:

I just dumped my ‘used soil’ in the garage worm bin. Last year’s batch was really good, this year’s batch (used KIS mix) should be legendary…

You leave me no choice, especially after revealing the sizes from the secret menu.

Ideally this also eliminates my need for soil testing.

That’s true!
I found the 3 cubic foot bag was a great size. That’s about 18 gallons of soil, which works out well for a 4 x 4 tent with some leftovers.

I promise you won’t be disappointed.

This might be to hard believe or sound far fetched for some bags of dirt, but this stuff literally reinvigorated me in the hobby at a time when growing was beginning to feel like more of a chore than fun.

Best,

Brilliant! I’m a huge used soil fan and my wife always begs for my used soil for her container grows. She comes batting her eyes talking about how she wants some really good Basil. If I scooped some worms up on a rainy day and put them in in one of my soil bins and fed the worms inside the soil. I’ve got some learning before I can try it.

It is an interesting subject to review, the worms add a lot of ‘biology’ to the soil… besides poop :smile:
different worms operate at different depths in the soil, check out Red Wigglers, they are well suited for worm farms etc.

Same with my wife, she is always after my ‘used’ soil… She loved this spring’s load.

Good thing my Wife doesn’t know about “your soil” with the worm poop, she might leave me :grin:

200L Rubbermaid (no wheels) with extra vent holes. Just used soil and all of the dandelions from the yard (they go in first) and then a couple cups of worms from the worm bin.
Just feed them kitchen scraps and green yard waste, let them freeze solid in winter (the dead worms disappear into the soil by spring).
The soil looked amazing… and I didn’t get any of it… :vulcan_salute: :laughing:
