Newspaper inks are now made of soy.

Vermicomposting is so easy, especially once your bin is established. I made a continuous flow vertical tower with food-grade buckets, so it takes up hardly any space (keep it in a corner in my basement).

My local landscape material suppliers stock what are called "crusher fines" which have probably about 1/8" and less particles that are produced when refining granite down to a 3/4" minus granite road base material. There is a lot of dust in it that you can seive from the coarser material for use as a soil supplement. You can get creative, find a window screen or other fine mesh material, and use that raw vegan muscle power to process rock dust. There are good uses in the landscape, such as pathways, for the larger byproduct material.

John your channel rocks! I never get tired of your videos. They are so informative. Thanks for all the help.

azomite is a great addition to anyones garden or farm, but, quite frankly, the best price I have seen online is a $1 / lb. If you have the money, go for it. But the best advice is to go to the quarry with your pick up or trailer and have them dump a scoop in. Maybe charge you 30-40 bucks and they would be happy to get rid of it. You would have enough for several seasons and a lot of high brix produce.

@growingyourgreens how do you compost young thai coconuts that were dipped in fungicides or do you at all"?
-
What about using bones from organic livestock. Burning them and then fermenting in sea water for a year. Instead of using bonemeal?

Johns talking out his ass about worms. It's the beneficial bacteria from the worms gut that is used to make soil healthier, not a diet of "Crab meal". If you want to add additional nutrients, simply add them.

If u want to feed your worms quality food, cardboard and hair isn't exactly on the top or anywhere near the top of the list. Cardboard has hardly any nutritional value and recycled paper that comes from unknown sources. Feed the worms organic matter, like wood and plants. Also not all rocks (rock dust) r created equal. Depending on the source where the rock was formed, that rock dust may have elements u may not want added to your soil. Some even have high lvls of elements like Al and other undesirables. OneYardRevolution and Alberta Urban Garden has videos that support this through lab test of vegetables grown from test beds amended with and without rock dust.

Quarry calls rock dust...FINES...
