Hey Rrog, got 2 lids 2 rings and ring bolts. 1 drum and gonna grab the other in the morning. Not sure what gauge but they are all about the same thickness that we get at work. Hope they work out for you. I'll give stOw a shout tomorrow afternoon once I have everything

Soil about 30 days old and the clover seems very happy. I really need to transplant into these, do you think this plant is mature enough to take it if the soil is still a little hot?

What did I miss?
hey guys. I have a question about alfalfa, should I use it as a tea or directly in my soil? also, what state is it best to apply it in? There are pellets, compressed cubes and bags with the plants. my next soil is to be ROLS, for now of: soil, perlite or pumice, worm castings, blood and bone meal. Im looking into the best ways for feeding bat guano and alfalfa, the former for P, the latter for N to veg vigorously. any idea or critique is warmly welcomed

Ive got some mix in my compost container , about 90 gallons, should i mix it all up, there are layers of grass, goat poop, chicken poop, plant material from juicing, green cut grass, about 2 bushels of rotten apples and some ash?

Rrog is around guys. He is working on a few projects. No one gives better advice than he does. Hang in there.
benbud....I use the Alfalfa both in my mix and in teas. Same with the guano. I know Rrog doesn't use guanos. I have pellet and non pellet forms. I use the non pellet form mostly. Teas are awesome. Both compost and nutrient if you use them correctly.

Is that a yes?

Yes, mix it up. You should also consider some more carbon materials like straw, saw dust, brown paper bags, etc. You want to turn your pile at least once a week until the pile cools a bit. Once it cools you can turn it less often. This will speed up the process, and make sure that the aerobic microbes are getting sufficient oxygen.

Awesome, thank you and will do.
Gandalf, if you could tell me then, Ive just bought high N bat guano, blood meal and alfalfa. what would be a good proportion to mix up for watering and/or foliar feeding , Ive got about three weeks left of vegging, and like for the plants to grow another great deal.
