Show Me What You Got (Nutes edition)

Better system than mine. I just use some rubber bands. It's a mess. I know I have those dual sided sticky plastic Velcro type deals for hanging picture frames. I just can't find them. I say Dr MJ Coco use them and it was all nice and neat. *Grabby paws*. I'll find them yet!!

Much better than mine also

Got my first bag of Build a Soil worm castings (the inhouse ones). I'm pretty sure these will be considerably better than the Amazon worm castings (ie wiggle worm, naturegrow). The ones I got on Amazon seem to be giving me fungus gnat infestations every single time I use them to top feed my plants.

I need to educate myself about Vermicomposting more and get my own bin started. Nothing beats the fresh stuff you make yourself. But you have to know what to feed the worms for example a ratio of brown and green food for the worms so that the castings have the proper ratio of nutrients. I know if you overdo it too much on green foods like fresh grasses it could swing the castings to One direction in terms of nutrition. I'm sure there's other nuanced things that I don't know yet but that's on my list of projects I have to work on.

Because I use my worm castings primarily for top dressing and tea during flower and bud I feed them with food high in P&K nutrients. Bananas, avocado, and dark greens. I use leaf mulch to cover the soil in the bin and it helps keep the castings moist.
