Ok guys and gals,
I've been thinking about doing an outdoor TLO soil grow this coming spring (Australia) So starting to get the "living soil" ball rolling soon for an October-ish germination is probably beneficial
The loose plan was to do it in maybe a 3 gal or 5 gal pot early spring, and then as it gets pretty hot here I was thinking dig a hole in the garden and drop the pot in there to keep it cool and protect the roots from the harsh Aussie sun as a precaution (late spring early summer can produce 40+ Celsius days)
So I've been perusing all the organic and outdoor threads about building soils and light quality etc etc.... great information!
But then I came across a thread with a very reputable grower on here that mentioned live soil in pots isn't really optimal. I totally understand in the ground will definitely be better but I sort of wanted a bit of portability.
So I guess the question is-
"Is growing in a pot of living soil worth it... or should I just grow in the pot and feed it nutrients?"
