I did that years ago and couldn't stand that holy hell of a stink 😆It's much easier to go to the woods and dig a bit of substrate up that already has everything in it lol. Good video though, this definitely does work if you cover yourself in Chanel number 5 and wear a mask 😆
This has cooking video vibes... If've seen this method on some gardening channels. Is the benefit here to improve "artificial' soil substrate without taking anything (besides some inoculater microbes) from nature?
Correct. It has three major benefits: 1. Creating indigenous microbiomes in the soil for the arthropods or plants if thats your thing which helps essentially everything from their version of an immune system to beneficial nutrients in them or their food if youre using this method for growing. 2. It is organic while also promoting beneficial molds etc 3. Its extremely cost effective and yes adds beneficial bacteria BACK into artificial soil blends. It also if Im already on a tangent helps with nutrient upcycling within the soil, by adding this with rotting vegetables so your detritivores can benefit. When I made it, I made it too short to explain everything. I might make a much longer video but wanted to see if any desire to go deeper into the topic
@@juicesarthropods Cool! So, I guess the methods used here selectively favour the "good" microbes? Because there certainly are not only beneficial ones out there in nature. Or is the spot you choose for "catching microbes" also of great importance?
@@PeppersnGlowworms So, its more like you mass collect all the bioorganisms in your selected region. I chose my home because my mentality was its high draught and heat resistant bacteria, which is perfect for what I want to accomplish. This next part is a BIT trickier: I will let the microorganisms compete. I've added these microorganism to my soil, with a control soil sample to compare it to, then will have Porcellionides pruinosus be my test subject for the biomes. Similar numbers, same setup, one innoculated and one not. Then I will showcase my results.

@@juicesarthropods That's s great approach! Thanks for elaborating. Looking forward to part two...

i don't know what that means but okay? 🤣
