So, with Lamental Jester's topic about starting out a walstad tank, I wanted to follow suit, and give it a go!
I recently got a 20 Gallon Long tank in a trade, and I'm planning on using that for my Walstad tank.
I have been mineralizing the soil for almost 2 weeks now...just a matter of time, before I can put it in the tank! Mmmm....mud...
What's next? Clay! Here's a question... I've noticed people using big chunks of clay in their soil, to the people who DO use clay, is it better if the clay chunks were big or small? Or does it really matter? I figured if they're smaller, then I could distribute the clay in the soil more evenly. I've rolled them into small balls, about the size of a green pea. I've seen people roll them into ping pong ball sized portions. So yes, does it matter?
Hopefully I'll put the soil in by next week. I can't wait!
