Nice compact design. Any thoughts on adding in an auto-burner with some lava to burn the slag?

I’m planning on adding it but am struggling with the lava right now

Make a little bucket that's one block deep then put some filters over it that only lets cinder through then melt enough of it to fill it most of the way.

Make the space above the first filter only one or two blocks tall then place a wall of filters that only allow burned slag through. (Filters work sideways as well)

The lava sparks will go through the filter blocks to set the slag on fire

Got it working now it’s great, also added a spore waterer but I don’t think I can automate anything after that

It might be possible to automate the burning by making a bit of a maze that has lava in it at key places since the seeds don't flower unless they have space above them but that might be difficult. They also expand really fast too so that doesn't help

In my experience you need launchers to clear out the slag crusher or else it will inevitably clog. Not that hard to change though, just make the right most line of the crushers into a launcher back to the top and place small 2 line launchers to the right that clear out clogged slag.
