not exactly rocket science this one but i have success with no-dig methods with my veg garden and a comment by microbeman reminded me that soil fauna forms in layers - different microbes inhabiting different depths.
so i was thinking of how you could do this with indoor potted plants as a better way of maturing the organic soil before planting.

the smalll pot is exactly the same as the pots my plants are vegging in. i can keep this moist, let it cook for a week or two, and then just remove the small pot, put a bit of myco in the hole, and drop the new plant in. Hopefully the microherd will be undisturbed and it'll be business as usual :joint:
if you're worried about fungal gnats then wrap it in some net curtain or something.
