Using worms in a bottom-feed system

[milkmann]

Hi all, thinking of adding some worms to my autopot/biotabs setup, topped with some mulch and I'll add the defoliated leaves to the top layer too, as well as some Kelp, Neem, trace element and PK tea adjustments.


The autopot system relies on bottom-watering, which means that the top inch or 2 of soil is usually dryer, but not fully dry, but everything else is usually moist most of the time down to the bottom of the pot. Will this cause the worms any problems?

The pots are also only 15L big - I know this is pretty small for worms and a no-till set up generally.

Anyone got any opinions on this method? Using BioBizz light mix soil, Biotabs amendments (all of them) and some extras from Indoor Organics (UK).

Cheers!

I would personally avoid using worms in those smaller auto pots.its a very wet environment and they will have trouble as the plant grows to stay ion that ideallic location in the middle somewhere.the bio tabs and other stuff should be fine I would think.if you wanna add something add castings.. or even triple castings.a mix of three castings really excellent for a soil amendment.especially excellent in a tea for flower.
