aaaaand we're back!
just waiting for a space to open up that the 2x4 grassroots fabric bed would fit and two trips to home despot later for pvc (because i'm really bad at math) the bed is built and in place so time to start re-amending the soil from the first round...
a bewildering and expensive array of products....good thing i work at a grow shop and thus get a tasty discount...
so we have colorado worm castings co. an old bag from the shop,dried out,rice hulls,pumice,bio-char,craft blend,ocean blend,gypsum,oyster shell flour,dolomite lime,agsil16h,and big 6. along with bu's blend and oly mountain compost. from gaia green insect frass and basalt rock dust. and bio-fish from down to earth...
started by laying down around 15 gallons of the used 3.0,added the stuff,not too much of any one thing...
then started adding used 3.0 into a 30 gallon barrel and layering in the stuff,put in around 20ish gallons of 3.0 total and shook and rolled the barrel to mix...
added in the plants in #2 pots of fresh 3.0....6 gsc forum cut and 2 sour dubb s1....filled in around them and packed the soil down lightly...
and watered it in with some rootwise and enzyme elixir...
next will be ordering some fresh colorado castings with free worms and soil critters,putting in the barley straw and sowing the clover seed...

just filled the 55 gallon barrel with bas/promix rootballs and added a generous portion of bu's,oly mountain,and worm castings....barely touched the collected rootballs...i'm pretty sure i can get like 20 fresh bags of 3.0 and two 4x4 fabric beds and fill them up in my main flower room...i already have two 4x4 plywood platforms with heavy duty casters and trays to match...and for that matter double layer trellis screens for 3 beds already....so considering the shop discount i can probably convert the room to three 4x4 beds and four 20 gallon smart pots for around a 1000 bux total...and have enough soil for potting the plants along the way to flower...
