1) Reference [93] studied the growth impacts of earthworms and their vermicompost on potted corn crops and compared with chemical fertilizers. Vermicompost with earthworms in soil achieved excellent growth over chemical fertilizers. While the plants on chemicals grew only 5 cm in 7 weeks, those on v...

1) Reference [85] studied the agronomic impacts of vermicompost and found that it consistently improved seed germination, enhanced seedling growth and development, and increased plant productivity much more than would be possible from the mere conversion of mineral nutrients into plant-available for...

I'm sorry to sound rude but you really need to look into it a tad more & read some case studies. I myself have a wormery at home & it is 100 percent organic, I know exactly what goes into it & I look at it under the microscope everytime I harvest castings, the same goes for my home made...

I don't go anywhere near chemicals & have no idea why people touch them to be honest. I think the words you are looking for are organic vs in-organic. Worm tea, compost tea, nettle teas, homemade fish fertiliser all contain chemicals. One major difference is that you know what you get in an in-...

I don't go anywhere near chemicals & have no idea why people touch them to be honest. Worm tea, compost tea, nettle teas, homemade fish fertiliser etc. The list goes on you have tones of things to use that aren't chemicals & from a gardening perspective you actually get better results, I dou...

Its a location link? I'm in the UK.

I have been looking all over the web for advice on overwintering trichocereus cacti & been trying to see if its possible to even grow them during winter. What I have read for the most part is that its possible to an extent with 600w HPS or CFL lamps but a lot of people have said due to the cost ...

Put in warm but not dark, just in shade or obscured sunlight. Cuttings have to feel the moisture in the substrate below. It may take several months or more. Once they have rooted in the shade or filtered sunlight where would you put them then obviously you don't want them to etoliate? Obviously in ...

Sorry for the late reply, it has roots but definetly not large enough to reach to the bottom of the pot.

Ey up from Manchester. Just cacti or some proper succulents as well? Wow... Thank you, I had no idea that existed, never came up on my google searches. Well, that is annoying. It has been going for 89 years (the society, not the forum). Though I only put a Wikipedia article up for the society at th...

A week should be long enough. Nice one mate I was thinking around that time, does it need a light spray or a good watering & then leave until the pot gets light? Its got a good amount of sunlight so I'm guessing it will need frequent watering as opposed to someone having it on a window sill or ...

Yes, it could be a Bolivian Torch. Maybe 6 months from now it will be a little more evident.

I appreciate it, thank you & sorry for the poor photography!

Thank you
