In-Depth Information
Alfalfa meal is great to add to worm food or to a soil mix before it is cooked. I prefer using the pel-
lets of alfalfa, but you need to check these out thoroughly to make sure there are no additives in
them.
Rice
is a cool thing to add and I use Basmati rice. I always noticed my fungi stayed happier and kept my
phosphorus and calcium levels more available to my plants when rice was in the soil mix. I always use it
and I never forget or omit it, as I feel it is a very important component in a TLO soil mix—and it's cheap!
Believe it or not, Basmati rice can help the phosphorus and calcium stay available to your plants
