Make Your Own Potting Compost 121gamers 2 Views • 1 year ago

Either buy compost for propagation, or you can make it. With homemade you know what's in there. See possibilities here: having good materials to make your own needs forethought and that you made suitable compost.

Why compost not soil?
Compost has a fine crumb structure, good aeration, decent drainage. Although the soil at Homeacres is great soil, it is dense and wet in cells and pots.

What makes a good mix?! In order of importance:
1 Nutrient density, 2 Good drainage, 3 Holds moisture, 4 Weed free.

I show three possible main ingredients sieved to 4mm,
1 Own compost
2 Worm compost
3 Woodchip compost - must be dry enough to sieve, makes manure difficult
PLUS in small amounts (and why) are soil, perlite/vermiculite, sand, minerals like seaweed powder, wood ash, basalt dust.

SCROLL DOWN FOR ANSWERS!

=======================

DIRECTIONS For A Brand New Batch of Probiotic Water:
Pour room temperature pure water into the sterile quart or liter size glass jar
Add about (5ml) 1 teaspoon of honey
Add about 1/2 capsule of probiotics
Put lid on jar an allow to sit in warm place for 3-5 days. The countertop is just fine.

DIRECTIONS For a Renewed Batch of Probiotic Water:
Save the last 1/4 to 1/3 portion of the probiotic water (this is your starter)
Pour room temperature pure water into the glass jar
Add about 1 teaspoon (5ml) of honey
Put lid on jar an allow to sit in warm place for 3-5 days. The countertop is just fine.

Tip: Keep multiple jars of probiotic water in rotation so you never run out!

========================
COMMON QUESTIONS:

1. HOW TO STORE:
Keep on the counter or in a cupboard with a somewhat loose lid. No refrigeration needed. Lasts for months. To keep feeding the probiotics, add a little honey every 2-3 weeks.

If it seems to die off over a month or so, just start a fresh batch. You'll know it's no longer active when it smells like plain water with honey instead of a slight sweet/sour smell that is common with fermentation.

2. HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Lasts for months.

3. HOW MUCH TO DRINK? I cannot recommend what is best for you, but here is what I do... I consume a few tablespoons a day by adding it over my salad, to a smoothie or to my water bottle. I personally do not measure out how much I take, I just splash it in here and there throughout the day. I do not consume more than 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) each day.

4. WHAT BRAND OF PROBIOTICS? I use Garden Of Life, but any brand will work. If your probiotic contains pre-biotics, that is just fine. https://amzn.to/39Y6n4B

5. WATER: Avoid water with chlorine like city tap. City tap water has a lot of other toxic residues in it such as pharmaceuticals + other chemicals that could interfere with a healthy fermentation. In my opinion, it's best to avoid using it for fermenting. You can use filtered water, distilled, bottled, non-chlorinated well water, etc.

6. You can use any type of honey. Alternatives that also work are maple syrup, molasses, agave, and unbleached cane sugar.
