You can use unfinished compost for your worm bin. All you need to do is take the compost and add a layer of worm castings – which contain enough worms and worm eggs.

all you need is 3 things: blood meal (nitrogen), bone meal (phosphoras) and azomite/kelp meal (trace elements).
for those of you that want to save money (free) use human urine/hair/feathers (high nitrogen) and wood ash (phosphoras and potassium)

Dude, I got the organic growing bug last spring; it’s the greatest thing to watch and see what you grow and know that it will nutritionally sustain you. Your show’s rock–keep them coming!

Granular is the powder that has been steamed to make little granules, so the application is easier, and should disolve in water. To test, put some in a cup and then add water to see it disolve into powder.

To much calcium locks out Mg. If anything, Ca is ok against ph drop.

Im not a fan. Osmocote is distributed by Scotts who also distributes RoundUp. We need to get out of the mentality of “fertilizer” which provides nutrients for a short peroid of time and (then you need to purchase more) to SOIL FERTILITY where the soil continues to build fertility and build its own nutrition, with cover crops, compost, earthworms, etc. Add lots of compost and organic matter and animal manures.

I am in the process of trying to locate some nearby sources for rock dust. When I find some and actually get it…should I apply it in bulk to my entire raised bed or add some to each hole as I am planting?

I have sent my soil off to a lab get tested once, and thats when I started a more aggressive soil enrichment program. Before that I pretty much figured compost and rock dust would be fine, which in terms of results, were working fine, but I like to optimize everything. I will be doing another episode on home soil testing.

I would use a blend of each. If I had to “like” one better, I would go with chicken.

Check your local quarries for “rock dust” or minus 200 mesh, you can buy it by the truckload for much less than the bag. I will have an in-depth episode on rock dust soon. Anyway reccomend application is Add 2-20 lb. of rock dust per cubic yard of compost. Minimum 1.5 pounds per 100 square feet. I usually add about 6-10 pounds per square foot.
