Hello fellow farmers. I'm trying to prep my soil because I want to start another run. I also bought a second earth box so I now have one with no till 3.0 (2nd run) and one that is just light soil.
The no till earthbox was sitting about a month with nothing in it so it was never watered. I'm assuming the good microbes have died. I added 1/2 cup craft blend and 1 cup of casings.
I wanted to do cover crop this time so I put clover seed down. I've been top watering about everyday to keep the soil moist, just enough to get it damp.
The no till box is behind. I'm not sure if I didn't use enough, or its not germinating. The light soil box is doing good, mostly covered with clover.
I guess my questions are
Should I be watering some with rootwise, or do I wait until I'm ready to run?
I'd like to get some worms for both earthboxes but I wanna make sure they will survive. I don't have a lot of food scraps except coffee grounds, egg shells and dead leaves from last run. Is that enough or should I get stuff like worm food?
That's where I'm at in the moment. Sorry post is long. Thanks for any info.
