why does my worm composter keep getting too dry with peat free soil
lol tbh i've been having some issues with my worm composter lately, been using peat free soil and its just not holding moisture like i thought it would, im using a mix of coir and green waste, anyone else have this problem? i've tried adding more water but it just seems to dry out again after a day or so, is it something to do with the coir or am i just not doing it right rn
why everyone’s soil advice is making your plants sad (and what i did instead)
tbh i’ve been ignoring all the gardeners saying ‘peat is king’ and my plants are happier than ever
i switched to this coconut coir-based mix 3 months ago and my basil is growing like it’s trying to escape the planet pH is more stable too like why is nobody talking about this?
imo peat moss is overrated and slightly unethical to harvest (yes i looked it up) coir is renewable and holds way more moisture
my setup rn:
- 60% coir
- 30% compost (own kitchen scraps)
- 10% perlite
results:
- no more daily watering
- roots are visible through the pot lol
- tomatoes aren’t falling over from blossom end rot
so why is everyone still using peat? i’m not saying it’s perfect but this works for me (and my plants)
