Converted to Raised Beds & Living Soil and No Till

[Chuck E. Kush]

After decades of growing, I finally did away with rooms full of plastic pots and went to raised beds by Grass Roots Fabric Pots. My soil of choice is Big Rootz by Soil King. There's a lot of tricks this old dog needs to learn; trellis, no till, living soil, worm composting etc.
Beds are 4 x 8, with 3 beds per 6 light room. Rooms are 12 x 18.

You'll be glad you did. My current room is a wall to wall soil bed - although, not as big as yours. One of the best growing decisions I've ever made. Getting colas to stack like never before. My final goal, is a true SOG with 4 plants per sq ft. Time will tell though.

Click the link in the lower right, don't want to bomb your thread with pics.

Can you tell us more about "Big Rootz" by Soil King. I've never heard of that.

Looking forward to this grow!

Awesome. Another LOS no till in a bed guy.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

i've been doing no till living soil also for almost six years now but i'd like to lurk what the big dogs gotta say.

A while ago I saw a video where this guy had soil in a container and had a cow patty on top. The containers had a plastic cover. Is that living soil? They were in a greenhouse and plants were beautiful.

I have access to lots of meadow muffins here. Lol

I’d love to run a bed...

I know everytime I’ve grown plants in big 20 gallon tote they’ve came out beautiful and with very large buds....

I just like to move my plants around...

I'd like to try but my room is on the second floor and I don't want to see if the floors can take the weight.

Speaking of weight I wonder if those platforms you built are up to it? How does it look after watering?

Good luck with your new system!
