Well to sort of answer my own questions above, i thought i'd post the results of a bit of testing i've done. The old bag of soil i had did fine although it was mostly broken down peat. I went to Ace picked up a few bags of there cheap hyponex stuff, took a large storage tub (it had a crack i fixed with duct tape) and dumped the soil in there. I've let it sit and air out in there and a couple of times a week I go in and stir it up. A week ago I put it in the first of the 55 gallons, it bubbled for about the first day and after that it seems to be doing fine. The only other bubbling I have noticed is when I planted some glosso I found while out shopping. |
