These Black Soldier Flies are just going wild! Need to start collecting food waste from restaurants to support these little guys.
Dynamic Accumulators are plants that concentrate micro and macronutrients from the soil into their leaves, stems, and roots. Then you compost, vermicompost, or use as a Chop N Drop mulch to improve soil fertility. Some DA's are Alfalfa, Comfrey, Dandelions, Stinging Nettle, Kelp, Water Cress, Horsetail, etc. I will be growing Stinging Nettle and Dandelions outside along with in these trays, Fenugreek. I have Watercress seeds too. Here is a spreadsheet I found with a list of all DA's and what elements they bring in.

Thank you sir ! I wouldn't be where I'm at without you're guidance thank you ! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Started a tray of Stinging Nettle. Took soil from outside, mixed in a little Peat Moss, Bio-char, kelp, neem/karanja, and oystershell. No mineral amendments though, the heavy clay soil in my yard is already loaded with it. And I want the Stinging Nettle to eat up the soil and give me all that goodness in the form of green manure!
Veg update! (Nothing in flower yet) Just finished watering with Recharge and Aloe Vera. It's still pretty early to tell sex on the reg seeds I planted, but mostly looking like ladies. 1x Purple Moon Kookies (Reg) 8x Bubblegum Purpz (Reg) 3x Gigabud (Fem) 1x Gummy Bear (Reg) 6x HSO Chemdawg (Fem) Put 8x Blue Cheese x Guerrilla Cookies seeds in soil, hoping they pop up. If not, just keep burning through my seed stock so I can buy new ones later!! Lol Purple Moon Kookiez Bubblegum Purpz Gigabud G Bear

Kinda like that time I used tree leaves for mulch and brought a bunch of fungus gnats in. I've been wondering if some of our ipm plants like mint, lemon balm, holy basil, etc. might make for good companion plants?
They do make good companion plants and you could mulch using their leaves. Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk
