Thanks Fuzzy! Happy to see you, hope we can help each other out!!
@paddy -- looks good mate!! I have not got my plastic yet. I need to build the frame first. I'll do that soon. I was on a site the other day that had greenhouse plastic remnants (left overs) and the prices were very good.
I'm jealous paddy!!

Stopped at the local nursery today looking for nettles, comfrey, and borage, but only located the last. Got a good lead on comfrey, but the nettles might require a trip across the pond. Paddy will you send some?
Anyway, got a big bag perlite for my SWICK pots while I was there.
And came home to find a delivery from BaS:

And in a few minutes I was able to collect up these, I got more after the pic so now I think each smart pot I pack tonight, actually five of the six (one is getting chemicals) they should each get three, so they can have a threesome and --
Do a little dance,
make a little love,
Get down tonight!
Mods this is going in my grow so it's not off topic, right?

I'll be ordering worms soon. .Question for anyone. I have one pot that I was going to run the coast of maine Stonington blend and nothing else. Only thing is I think it needs some perlite.
I can either leave it, and continue the experiment as is.
Or. Add perlite?
Last weekend I did take out three cups of soil from each and replaced with two cups of Hydroyton, so maybe that will do?

Haha that's exactly what it is. From a laundry drying rack. Now a fine SCROG screen
I've been known to do a wire shelf scrog myself
Brilliant minds!

So, I didn't add anything else to the COM mix but the Hydroyton. I'm ready!! 5 gallon pot which will get chemicals is upper far left. That's the only one without worms, clover, or the SWICK set up. I got the plastic containers to hold the perlite at 99 cent store, they are supposed to be oil drain catch pans, but, they work for my application, too 
I wonder if they've met up, had a threesome yet?
Soil, few clover seeds, ewc topping, alfalfa hay
No water in catch pans just yet

You and Sue make soil growing look easy, and have me considering going back to a soil grow in the future.
I just love this organic stuff, cleanest and healthiest way to do it IMO

You are impressing the hell out of all of us buckaroo!
Antics, it really IS this easy. So easy to maintain too. The soil grows happy and productive plants. It's all in the preparation, but from then on it's no worries, just the joy of watching them grow.
MMM, the SWICK will amaze you. You hear resistance from growers who like to have that time with their plants. I've learned to find other ways to spend time with mine. You will too. I'm going to watch for that moment when you get excited because roots grew into the perlite.

Add more aeration to the stonington only mix. If it looks light that's a good idea. I like the 1/3 aeration I've been using in my soil mix.

Hey paddy,, if you are really mad you'll head over to the build a soil site and dig into the blog. Or, go look at the compost tea brewer, and check out the links to the different tea recipes. If you really dig you can find a chart on the different plants you can ferment to make your own fertilizer. There's a lot, I'm highlighting a few and will be growing them this year. Look into the fermented plant extract process. I'd link it but it might be a no-no.
I have a good source for seaweed, but I'll let you know about the nettles!!
Stay green bud
