They eat rocks and poop gold
So bat shit and silica !
I've got a tote of EWC that "I" made with worms that Blew sent me a year ago. The worms have died but they left me with just under half a 27 gallon tote of EWC.
I'm too afraid to change anything in my cannabis growing, but can I just toss it on top of my planting bed (which is soil covered by weed block covered in bark chips)? I'm growing lemons and pomegranates along with decorative perennials.

I'm not sure. It's in the book
It should be ok, the goodies will leach into the soil when it’s watered.
Thanks Penny!

Hey Shed, I'm hearing its similar other thing is compost. The worms do the composting for us is how I understand it so if you know about compost then you know EWC. That's all from
What’s in everyone’s compost ?
Egg shells ? Banana peels , rock dust . Raccoons going to love me !! Lol

Veggies, Grass, leaves, coffee grounds. Don’t use milk or meat products.
I’ve heard of people spraying milk on plants / foliar spray ?
Coffee grinds what is that caffeine? Lol
Lol has lots of good stuff in it.

I don't have one yet. I do have a giant pile of leaves and grass I've been piling up for 33 years. Some of that is what humus? I think it interchanges with EWC and Compost,
Should be good humus.

My daughter takes a bucket of it every year for her tomatoes. It works good I hear from her.
It adds aeration and increases the CEC
Highya Guys,
My compost pile has been going for 3 years, now. I have 2 small (4X4) bins. One working, and one building compost. I pile up raked leaves, grass clippings,and yard debris (sawdust, twigs, etc.). To that I add all organic waste from the kitchen (and we eat all natural foods). Also, chicken manure from a lady I do some work for, and she usually has quite a lot of additives. In the fall, I cut and shred my comfrey and add that to the pile. Also, I turn occasionally. As I water the garden, I water the pile also. Oft times I add lactobacillus serum (think microbes) to break down the pile faster. I use a mineral mix (Doc's mineral blend) in the spring, as well as seaweed, and seawater. Oh, and wood ashes from the wood stove. So, there's a lot of nutrients in there, just need a lot of microbes to turn it into plant food, lol. Humus is the end product of decomposition. And yes, greatly improves CEC, as does biochar (whick is in the wood ashes (unburned wood bits). That's my compost story. Love my organic gardening process! Cheers

Hey guys, i've been growing with LOS for the last 3 years and i have great results with something called Biodyne Environoc 401 Microbes. Basically a bottle filled with billions of 25 different species of beneficial microbes. I add this to my feedings now and then to keep the microbe count up. This is a South African product, but i was wondering if you guys have something similar that side?
Biodyne Environoc 401 Microbes contain Beneficial Microbes that provide broad benefits for many plants including: Increased health and vigor, Healthier roots, Stronger and longer stems, Increased flower / fruit production, Phosphate solubilization capabilities, Nitrogen fixing capabilities. It is suitable for organic AND hydroponic systems.
Over 25 Strains of Fresh, Viable, and Natural Microbes selected for their capabilities to provide enhanced plant health and production through enhanced rhizosphere (root microenvironment) activities from specialized capabilities of the microbes. High count microbial inoculant with efficacy across a number of environmental applications
Capabilities: Phosphate Solubilizing microbes and Nitrogen Fixing microbes may reduce fertilizer needs, Enhanced leaf, flower and fruit production via rhizosphere microbe activities. Overall enhanced plant / turf health and vigor.
I am in no way promoting this product, however i can say it makes my plants very happy and that's all that counts

That sounds like a well kept pile Bode. I need to organize mine so I can maintain it. There's the Lacto serum in action. I might have to start that before I thought I would. You just linked it to LOS for me enough to turn the switch in my mind. Thanks. Sea water huh?
Highya IL,
I've never known there was someone selling microbes. The last couple years I've been studying organic gardening, and have just gotten down the deepest secret the soil-plant relationship holds (I think). Microbes are the workhorses of the nutrient-plant exchange. Very fascinating.
No, I haven't seen any microbial only product over here (USA). Some are starting to put w/microbes on their face label. So, microbial products are probably coming. I hadn't noticed mostly because I'm concentrating on growing my own. Looks pretty promising so far. Only started amending nutes with microbes this spring. Cheers
