So I've been using some backyard compost that is very well aged, screened down to 1/2inch or less, and then worms run through it for a bit. I tried it on a couple plants and everything seemed alright. Kinda hard to tell because I moved, the plants were somewhat neglected until I built my rooms and honestly I just got my environment to where I want it.
Here's the deal. Runoff from plants with the backyard compost, is dark brown in color, almost the color of a Newcastle or something. Runoff from plants with bagged compost is a weak iced tea color. Is this normal??
If I try something new, I do a test run on a couple plants. That being said, I'm a little nervous about the 200gallons of soil I just mixed up. My environment just became ideal and I'm watching a slight K def completely disappear. Probably worried about nothing. How dark the runoff is, is just something I'm not used to seeing. Thanks
