Hi People,
I'm getting towards the end of my first cycle in a living soil mix, Its gone pretty well and I've learnt a LOT. I'm planning and preparing for the next run.
The mix is:
Compost, Worm Casts, Coco Coir & Buckwheat Hulls. With Basalt, Kelp, Krill, Neem, Gypsum and Fish Meal.
I notice my soil level in the 15 gal pot is quite a bit lower than it was. It seems to be compacted. I can feel some dryer spots clumped together. I read that this can happen with incorrect watering which doesn't surprise me. I went a bit mad training my indica plants in veg and they ended up really short which made it very difficult to get into the canopy and water the soil evenly. Especially at the back of my room where access is limited. I'm putting a Blumat drip system in next time to help keep top layer nice and moist.
I was thinking about breaking the soil up a bit but I was unsure if that would have a negative impact on the soil life or not?
If it's a good idea what's the best process?
Ps I am using worms. 200G per 15Gal pot went in.
