So I have 20 lbs of worm castings left over, if you were me would you top dress it over my six plants ( I know it won't go very far) or should I attempt to make a tea with it (which I've never done) I have lots of buckets full of rain water I can stir it into but no bubbler or air rocks.. I'm sure there's a forum for this but any words of advise is appreciated, thanks guys!

Depends on the quality of the ewc imo. I have some cheap ewc I bought "wiggle worm" I have left over I'll just top dress with because it doesn't make the best teas. Leaves a bunch of sand after brewing & the worms weren't fed with a diverse food source. Top dressing is easier to, especially if you don't have the right equipment to make teas. Do you have a small sump pump you could use to mix it with? I don't have tons of experience with teas, but from what I've read, you need aeration in them or some of the benificals will die off/not reproduce as quickly as they could. I may be way off here though, so wait for someone else to chime in.. That's just what I remember from reading/experience from using teas 4-5 years back lol. Best of luck!!

  • ......well...I had one exciting morning ...first I too my mag to my actual garden to Check for deer and didn't see any ...I usually take it with me when making my morning rounds at the plants but I remembered I didn't bait my trap cause I was too busy making cages yesterday ...I went down at about 6 to check for coon damage and started peeking at my trees and noticed the trap door was shut on my live trap....huh....well its all covered up with sticks and weeds ...about that time I noticed my hound was going crazy..SUCCESS....he ran by the cage 10 times till u walked up and that coon started growling at me and he went nuts...well he stated raising 9 kinda hell if course and I got parinoid that someone was gonna hear him and walk up on us...which I have about a 93% chance of that not happening....but I was scared ...so I thought ..pick up th cage ...walk with it till I'm back on my property ...then o get the gun...right?...well...this is a homemade cage...and a big heavy one...and the guy who made it never made the handle very long...so when I grabbed it I felt that coon paw wrap around my middle finger ..yeah, so needless to say I dropped the cage...I had some boltING gloves from the coal mines hid close by so I put them on and stared packing him....now I have the problem of my dog attacking this 60 lb cage with a 20 25 lb coon in it while crawling through the woods....guess what happened ..he jumped up on the cage...I dropped it again ..the trap door came open and I now have a 25 lb coon on my right foot.......=\.....my dog which is a coon hound but has never hunted tore that coons ass apart...he soon realized it wasn't as easy as he thought it would be but he won that's for sure...he even treed him and was trying t climb the tree ..lol goofy fucker...I ran a mile or so to my house ..got my gun...rn back and the rest is history...my pup doesn't have a scratch on him and I have one less coon to worry bout....on to the next one...but I just had to tell you guys the whole story...coons on the feet at 6am will wake your ass up that's for sure

Damn! Sept?! That is crazy early! Do you have to run all early blooming strains or do most finish in time? I feel you though, I've done some guerilla and it is one hell of a workout! Carrying all the soil + waters a bitch if you have to carry it to. Best of luck this season!

Unless you veg all winter and put your plants that have been growing for six months out in spring. Even the biggest southener plants are sublimenting light at the beginning and end of the day to keep the girls growing bigger before budding at the end of the season.
