"Go to a home depot or lowes and get a plastic mortar box (my Lowe's has them near the cement mixes. then go to the garden center and get some calcium carbonate (lime powder) and peat moss. take it home and then add 1 cup of the lime powder and enough peat to half fill the mortar box mix the lime and peat very well add about 2 gallons of water and stir till the water is absorbed. "

For the mortar box challenged, can you estimate the weight of peat you mix with a cup of powdered lime? I tried making up such a mix myself when I ran short of some magic worm bedding Charles gave me, and my white worms were not happy with the result!

Even though I'm trying to get synthetic scrubber cultures up & running, I'd like to keep my dirt culture backup.

Thanks,
