Maine 4-Season Greenhouse Grow

Would love to see a pic of your worm bins.
Everything gets recycled on my farm back into the soil mix for next yrs planting’s. However...
I spend a good amount each yr buying worm castings which I ad into my soil mixture and prices are rising due to the cannabis industry taking off in legal states. Your VC mixture, do you need to substitute with nutes durring flower?
As someone else stated that compost looks real good, I kinda want to sit on a bucket next to those pots and play with your soil. Lol.

It's pretty easy especially if you have the space and the inputs...I figured if I bought the "platinum" Coast of Maine soil @ $25 /1.5cf then I would have spent over $700 for my summer grow...no thanks. I'm hoping to have some leftover from the 38x bins I have running this summer.

Finished VC...


I used the bins to go to my beach and collect seaweed....I spread all of this amongst the bins...first time experiment but I hope it will break down nicely in the VC...if so, that will def be an added nutrient bonus next year.


I upgraded the stacking (left old, right new) after @Itibitiguy kindly educated me that these could stack on themselves, so now I have them 3x high.


Good example of too much compost...need room for the food...I only made this mistake with a few.


I get a lot of this type of veg matter 5 days a week...


I put them on pallets and my tractor can just pick 6x full ones up and move them...they get heavy.

 
Interested to see how that seaweed breaks down for you..
Likewise, so I only put a few handfuls in each bin...I actually cut them into smaller pieces by hand because they were so long. i thought drying it before cutting it would make it easier to cut...wrong! Turned into jerky...
 
Those bins look stellar blew :goodjob: I'm working on starting a few bin now. That sea weed breaks down pretty quick. We would put it on my dad's potatoes and when you harvest you don't find very much left in the soil.

Yeah, I'm not too concerned...worms have a way of tearing that shit up...I started putting corn husks in this summer...that's pretty optimistic! I had so many I figured why not...
 
Our lake level is very low so Ive got easy access to some. Ill try a couple shovel fulls.
My only concern is I would have no f'ing idea what is in it, so no way to incorporate it into a compost plan.
