My best resource so far has been watching BuildASoil on youtube. He does an amazing job explaining everything from start to finish. He has I believe 7 seasons where each season is a full grow from start to finish. I have watched them all so far and has been a huge source of info from living soil in general, amendments, environmental, IPM etc. I would for sure recommend the channel. He also is very good about explaining that you dont need all of the products they offer and even encourage people to make their own and has some guides on that on the website as well.

Thanks ! you are right Build -a- Soil great podcasts at least for some basic knowledge understanding he is selling his products ; which are great

Wanted to get my journal started and will be adding the initial pictures soon!

Excited to run these North Lights #2 from Todd at AgSeedCo.

Running organic BuildASoil No Till Living Soil style. This will be my 3rd overall run doing living soil and it is such a great learning experience.

build soil is great , but it's so pricey, I go with Knf nuts with 30gals with rarely no cost.
for living soil highly recommend to read those 2books , and soil horizon method is key FTW.

that is cool,man. i used to follow Jeremy Buildsoil~but quite a long time ago ,LoL.
cause I lived in mainland china~ so there is no way to go any products from there, so I have to made organicnuts by my own hand.
For budild soil ,Jeremy didn't mentioned any soil build info,and soil horizon is key to victory.
here is 20ths run soil without any over/under water, and almost watering 1or2 weeks a time.

Thank you very much for the recommendations! I was just looking at those books recently and they look like a great resource!

Day 11 Since Seeds Popped. I think they are looking great so far.

Thinking about taking samples for genetic testing possibly next week, so I can determine sex and get the females into the 15gal bags!

I am finding the variation in initial growth structure to be very interesting!

So how did it go?

This is more or less how I grow. Works great once life balances out. Only downside is LARGE containers for large plants. I took last winters used 10 and 15 gallon living soil containers outside and am growing peppers, eggplants, carrots, onions etc. with nothing more than a chop-n-drop of the cover crop whenever it gets grown out.

This winter it's 30 gal containers. Probably overkill but maybe some polycutures with smaller plants. They'll probably stay in the basement.

I second the Teaming With series books as invaluable.
