Start a compost heap and include plenty of soil, in the first batch...

Gather organic matter such as leaves, grass clippings, wood and other vegetable and plant waste and put it all into a compost bin. Collect matter over time and continue to add these components to your bin.

2
Add soil (not potting soil) from your garden along with a healthy amount of worm castings.

3
Turn your compost pile with a shovel often. You want to bring the matter from the outer perimeter of the bin into the middle portion so that fungi can get to all of the matter evenly and on a regular basis. Daily turning will aerate your bin so aerobic decomposition can take place at a faster rate.

4
Continue to add layers of organic matter along with worm castings and soil over time. With regular turning, your compost can be ready to use in as little as four weeks.

5
Take shovelfuls of your fungal compost and mix it into your flower beds and/or garden soil when it's ready.

6
Put your compost mixture into a pillowcase and dunk the pillowcase in a bucket of water. Allow the tea to steep for at least 24 hours, and then water your plants with this nutrient-filled fertilizer.



Or in other words, make a good compost tea...there are many recipes and it's free

While we're at it I think we should have a thread discussing grow shops I don't see one up here.
What you's reckon?

Been covered before here

Biowar Nute Pack
Nitrogen fixers: (Azospirillum sp., Rhizobium sp.), Phosphate solubilizers (Bacillus sp. Pseudomonas sp.), Potash mobilizer (Fraturia sp.) & Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizae (Vam)
Nitrogen fixers: Nitrogen fixers (Azospirillum sp. & Rhizobium sp.), converts atmospheric nitrogen gas into plant usable ammonium & fulfills the plants nitrogen requirements. Nitrogen fixers promote plant growth produce vitamins, auxins & gibberellins which induce plant growth. Nitrogen fixers enhance seed germination rates, seedling vitality & increase crop yield.
Phosphate Solubilizers:Phosphate solubilizers (Bacillus megaterium var. phosphaticum & Pseudomonas striata) dissolve fixed tricalcium phosphate into plant utilizable monocalcium phosphate. Phosphate solubilizers produce organic acids (viz, citric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid,) natural hormones (viz, indole acetic acid, gibberellins etc.) & enzymes (viz, phytase, nuclease, lecithinase etc.) that aid, in solubilisation of insoluble phosphates into plant utilizable form. Phosphate solubilizers increase plants growth & crop yield.
Potash Mobilizer: The microbe, Frateuria aurentia is a beneficial bacterium capable of mobilizing soil available Potash to the root zone. It works well in all types of soil especially low K content grow mediums (Coco) These bacteria increase the availability potash.
Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizae (VAM) : Mycorrhizae, mobilizing the major nutrients, nitrogen, phosphorus & potassium zinc, calcium, iron, magnesium & manganese. Mycorrhizal inoculation, enhances the absorption of water & neuitrents, Mycorrhizae produces antibiotics which immobilize & kill soil borne pathogens. Mycorrhizal inoculation reduces your fertilizer requirements to a low EC / ppm.nuirtian levels allowing you reuse your soil or coco, fork out the old roots & transplant in your seedlings or clones.

Biowar Root Pack
Bio-control agents, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma harzianum, Bacillus subtilis & Paecilomyces lilacinus. Bio-agents to control soil borne bacteria, fungal & nematode pathogens.

Pseudomonas fluorescens Pseudomonas fluorescens act as non-pathogenic saprophytes that colonize soil, water & the plant surface. Pseudomonas fluorescens restrain plant diseases,producing secondary metabolites antibiotics, siderophores & hydrogen cyanide. This microbe penetrates the plant vascular system & acts as a bio-control agent against most fungal & bacterial diseases.
Bacillus subtilis: Bacillus subtilis is a spore omnipotent bacterium when applied to seeds or growing plants colonizes the developing root system. Bacillus subtilis multiplies even in poor organic soil suppressing the growth of pathogenic fungal organisms such as Rhizoctonia spp., Fusarium spp., Aspergillus spp. Bacillus subtilis colanizes the root system & provides protection throughout the growing season.
Trichoderma viride / harzianum:Trichoderma spp. is an omnipotent fungus present in most of agricultural soils where organic matter is rich. Trichoderma spp. grows tropically toward hyphae of other pathogenic fungi, coil about them in a lectin-mediated reaction, & degrade cell walls & kill the pathogenic fungi by secreting of extracellular enzymes viz. Chitinase & Peptaibols. This limits the growth & activity of plant pathogenic fungi.
Paecilomyces lilacinus: Paecilomyces lilacinus is a naturally occurring fungus found in most agricultural soils & will control plant pathogenic nematodes viz. Root knot nematodes, Burrowing nematode, Cyst nematodes, Root lesion nematodes, Reniform Nematode & False Root knot Nematodes. The secondary metabolites secreted by the Paecilomyces will destroy the plant pathogenic nematodes as eggs, juvenile, & adults

Biowar Foliar Pack

Biowar Foliar biopesticides , Bacillus thuringiensis var kurstaki, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Verticillium lecanii & Paecilomyces fumosoroseus. Bio-control for pathogenic pests & insects.

Bacillus thuringiensis var kurstaki: Bacillus thuringiensis var kurstaki a naturally occurring bacterium secretes crystal proteins, when sprayed on lepidopterous & coleopterous pests, the pests will die within 3 days.
Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae:Beauveria bassiana a naturally occurring entomopathogenic fungus & vivable in most agricultural soils. The spores of this fungus will kill 48-72 hours after spraying. Verticillium lecanii:The mycelium of this fungus produces a cyclodepsipeptide toxin called bassianolide & other insecticidal toxins such as dipicolinic acid, which Kills aphids, whiteflies, rust fungi & scale insects.
Paecilomyces fumosoroseus: Paecilomyces fumosoroseus, a very promising biological pesticide due to its extensive host range which includes over 25 different families of insect, the diamondback moth, Russian wheat aphid, silver leaf whitefly & wide range of mites Spotted Spider Mite, Red Mite, Brown Mite, & Rust Mites.
