    Be patient and plan ahead. You could buy some EWC to hold you over until your you get your operation going.

    Yeah I can understand that. I was contemplating whether I should buy the ingredients but in the end decided to make my own. I like my hobbies haha

    You can add neem and karanja meal to your soil mix to help keep pests at bay. Malted barely in your mix can help as well

    Regular weekly foliar prays with neem oil will also help. My soil has tons of moving things in it.. Havent been an issue yet.

    This exactly and I would top dress malted barley weekly if anything.
    My soil is exactly the same LIVING!!! You could introduce beneficial nematodes at the beginning also, the last couple times I’ve switched to flower I introduced lace wings too just for prevention, ido find all this easy being in a raised bed too

    Cool, I remember reading about that. Water, soap and neem oil lol. Malted barley, I'll have a look out for that next time I'm in town. That's reassuring, hopefully my next run I'll be able to implement the organic soil I'm currently reading the teaming with microbes but it's getting very technical lol. My brain is frazzled after one chapter haha.

    Teaming with nutrients is a much drier read compared to teaminf with microbes.

    Ohh really? I got it for 2 quid but looks interesting so far. Teaming with microbes has kept me entertained and the practical stuff it gets you doing is wicked. I just need to figure out a way to make it a audio book and I'll be well away haha
