both really
just diversifying the sources of calcium and providing a lil bit extra silica; something i've had my eye on for some time
but wasn't until now that i could add it to the arsenal
^ bran for kashi
^^ digging holes inside the wide beds, using native soil from the holes to build up berm edges around the bed & holes
trenches will fill with water and irrigate the beds/holes
^ finally got the pumice, 6 x 1 cubic yard bags, behind them 12 yards of rich af black topsoil - along with several bales of peat moss these components will make up the base mix; may be adding some chunky compost as well; still haven't sourced it yet, but maybe will have some delivered this week
^ compost piles, field and mountains behind it
^some materials, cattle fencing for small greenhouse, buck slab wood to cover ag water trenches and some water storage tanks

Seafour, the industrial sources here are the best price in bulk, .48 cents a lb for 500.
Bombay, I'm starting to use wollastinite for the reasons Avi mentioned, but also I've been seeing several studies/ reasearch papers showing it works better than other silica sources when used as a soil amendment. Better disease control, specifically p.m.
Here's one on pumpkins: mdpi.com/2071-1050/8/4/293/PDF
Avi, you have a beautiful spot there, lots of good things going on. Would be nice to have that view. Good score in the pumice totes, so much easier to handle. Haven't seen 1 yard ones before. Plenty of kashi in your future.
Is the cattle fencing for bigger wildlife protection, because that's what I use it for. Stuff is not inexpensive.

cattle fencing will be bent hemispherically to create small hoophouse for starts and perhaps to light dep inside of....

Just a lil' light dep... I love it
ya just a lil bit.... 
still digging holes....
mixed about 100 gallons of kashi up today, made a few batches with wheat bran like usual but also made one out of camelina meal (wild flax). got a bag of it super cheap and decided to try it out
and apparently i forgot to hit "confirm" when buying the wollastonite, because it ain't shipped.... oops

^ outdoor work is progressing, holes getting dug and about to start mixing big batches of soil and filling the holes to create the burms
filled a "finished" hole with water and it drained entirely in less than 12 hours, actually they were pretty much empty (fully drained) after about 4 or 5 hours, so i think im safe in terms of a heavy watering and somewhat quick drainage... looks like i'll be using more peat and pumice per quantity of black topsoil
^ veggie raised beds,
plastic is to solarize, kill grass roots beneath the raised beds
beds are being filled with a mix of naitve soil, black super-rich clay like topsoil and pumice
black basalt stone is native and lines our agriculture fields
meanwhile, inside:
^^^ room canopy
big kiddie pool room
^ catpiss moontang canopy
started some light defoliation in anticipation of harvest on these plants (and the entire room to some degree) in anticipation of harvest
gota sour coffee and ammonia smell right now, not as much sour d/chem hints this run, getting a lil more swell out of her and a slightly more complex smell it seems like
^ dosi-flos (dosidos x flo scout)
dosidos leaning pheno - all cookies nose

^ Rare Dankness Cornbread
real dank bubba kush style strain, this cut stretches alot more than the average bubba in early bloom, but unfortunately it doesn't look like that extra stretch will correspond to any higher flower yield
probably the frostiest strain in the room this run....
^^ cornbread top shot; small buds but loads of frost and a real stinker.... got alot of chem kush and musky earthy coffee smells going on
Looking dank as usual. I'm going to be digging holes similar to yours here all too soon. 
i'm glad to hear you are digging holes as wellLooking dank as usual. I'm going to be digging holes similar to yours here all too soon.
trying to get my shit ready, want to let soil set in the holes and be able to inoculate a few times before planting in it (ideally)
thanks mega, so far so good....

it's tractor day!!!
^ marking the corrugates, for irrigation
^^ veggie beds
re-arranging and adding soil to last years beds
^^^ Native soil mixing with the rich black topsoil (clay like)
^^ raised beds coming along
using pumice in these raised beds, at least in this first one.. help w drainage and aeration, reduce compacting
amending these veggie beds with bio-live from down to earth (got a 50 lb bag a while back and trying to use it up) and some azomite as well (lil bit)
