So who here is growing in true organic living soil?

From my notes:

2 tablespoons of seeds (1 oz.)
Soak for 12 hours. Drain that water and throw away. It’s full of growth inhibitors.
Add 1/2 gallon of water to the sprouts for the 48 hour soak.
Strain and use 1 cup of this to 1 gallon of water.

I forget WTF we were discussing where there was an updated dilution. Shit. Lemme PM Cann. The above recipe was Coots original.

Soak the seeds in your first batch of water for 12 hours, then toss that water.

Then add 1/2 gallon of water to the sprouts, and soak for 48 hours. This is the water we want.

Take 1 Cup of that sprout water and add to 1 gallon of fresh water to use.

Sure not looking to alienate any growers and don't want to come off as holier-than-thou. I started the thread for exactly this sort of discussion.

I think a lot of people thing of organic farming as requiring a farm. Piles of compost, chickens shitting, soil cooking. I can relate to that thought. I've been looking at ways that someone tight on space can still compost and use a natural soil.

Bokashi is simply a small bucket of your table scraps or plant cuttings on the kitchen floor, or under the sink. Sealed up so no smell. The microbes in the bucket start breaking down your food scraps into some excellent fertilizer. Free.

For soil, I have two garbage cans cooking for the next grow. So all in all, maybe 12 square feet of floor is taken up.

We have to keep in mind that the soil microbes are an army of trillions. Their only mission is to support and defend the plant. If we add chemicals, that relationship is severely strained or gone, despite the presence of soil.
