food is great fertilizer.

I like to take a bunch of old fruit, veggies, pizza, whatever. blend it all up and then pour in the bottom of my planting holes helps a lot!!

another great tip is mimic nature. bottom watering is an easy way to do this, stick your planted pot in a shallow pan of water and water from the bottom up.

Plants leaves direct the flow of rainwater to the sides and make a watering circle around their bases. Directly underneath the plant are the roots that exude harmful salts. Dont water this area it will wash the salts back down to the root zone. best way to water would be to mimic rainwater but this takes forever hence bottom watering.

and critters generally dont dig if you seal off the food well with a clay like soil, or just water it in well. charcoal would work good too.

Is using rice to capture microorganisms from my forest an old wives tale, or an old korean fairytale?

If it is then should I throw away the Mycelium I collected? Just asking.
