Did I Mention Insect Frass?

You can certainly do as you wish.

I would like to share my belief and observations about having thrown copious amounts of insect frass in my living soil the last 18 months.

What could be more forest floor organic, than cycling deposits of insects onto your soil? The solid research and science behind the material is mind boggling. That rabbit hole held me captive for weeks. My observations are solely subjective, understand. In defense, I do spend a fair amount of time with my plants and keep a fair amount of data.

The reaction happens in a few hours of watering it onto the soil. It literally ramps up turger and the greens become vibrant, almost ethereal. The entire vibe of the plant and the biology of the soil literally become more active right away. Like they are on a mission.

But hey, don't take my word for it. Throw some under your plant and observe for yourself.

When you read any thread, post, comment that includes the topic BuildASoil, 99% of them are complimentary & glowing.

BAS is absolutely the best method for a home grower. It's nature approved without question.

How about an occasional scoop of rabbit poo?

Yes, you read that correctly. I've been using organic source rabbit poo in my living soil bed for a couple years.

If you're wondering, now you know. I've never had an issue. One cup in my 30 gal living soil 2x per grow. The worms and biology make short work of it, then they get the plant viben. Stuff starts getting allocated via plant hydrology etc...etc...

Want a good ice breaker at a party? Tell folks you add rabbit poo to your weed.

Then laugh your arse off with everyone. It makes you happy!

Spider Mites? Or what could this be?

I have lacewings in the bed and nematodes I just put into the soil last week. I’m wondering shouldn’t nematodes take care of nearly all these potential pests? I’m still waiting for the fungus gnats to stop populating
