Fragg Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Yep I get them from ebay like @@nudger36 to back up my worm bin as I use more than it makes for now..... Fresh is best by a country mile though as its the microbes in it you really want so the fresher the better All other shit is too "hot" fresh apart from worms and rabbits 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Urghh??!! Fuck getting any casters in it!! Fungus natts are bad enough! I used to work in a tackle shop, the stench from riddling 50 gallon of maggots fresh from the farm..... Stench of ammonia...quote 'Ammonia is converted to nitrates by nitrifying bacteria in the soil. Plants absorb nitrates from the soil and use these to build up proteins.' Hmm @@nudger36, that could be genius. Wonder if any is held in the sawdust....worth investigating more. Wouldn't put it in my mix or pots though. Would be worried about diseases / smell. Still rotting meat / fish. Could be interesting ran through the compost bin / worm bin? Re worms heard good things about these people from couple people who have ordered from them http://yorkshire-worms.co.uk/product-category/compost-worms/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twigs Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) i dunno man.. im not digging the maggot idea.. 'what strain is that..?' 'maggot' e2+ its making it very hard to eat my porridge thinking of blended maggots.. Edited May 4, 2016 by twigs 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nudger36 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) it was more of just, I wonder what if, I doubt I would go down the maggot route even if they were the best thing since bacon buttys! just thinking outside of the 'tackle' box im sure they are in a lot of compost piles already, cant be that bad coz they would be full of good stuff from what they are munching! the little maggots!

Ogami-itto Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Anyone care to share a simple tea recipe for flowering? Got a couple of Northern Lights want to try it out on. Simple please as I have min. ingredients.... peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nudger36 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) What ya got available? Molasses, Comfrey is good, and Bat Guano, and Alfalfa due to the Triacontanol and N. Adjust the ratios according to like a bloom fertilizer rather than a grow one. So less N (alfalfa/worms) and more PK (bat,comfrey) for flowering brews.

Ogami-itto Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 @@nudger36 I only have molasses from that list! I can get alfafa very close to me today. So bat & comfrey are my best options then? I will go find some comfrey. So would molasses, alfafa & comfrey tea do the job? Thanks bro...hope youre enjoying the sunshine! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
