    I would love to see a recipe with worm castings in comparison to your best soil mix, maybe Coco Loco plus worm castings, with and without wool.

    Also, I just stopped by a local hardware store that has a small garden department. They carry pretty much just Miracle Grow products, but I asked them if they ever had Foxfarm products in stock. He said he could order them for me and if he saw an increase in requests, he'd start keeping it on hand. So, I ordered two big bags of Cocoa Loco and I'll encourage my neighbors to do so as well. And I note that his price per bag was way cheaper than Amazon!

    Thank you for the information! How much mycorrhizae did you add to the mixes?
  • @montipage1872
    I have been stalking your channel WAITING for this video ever since you mentioned it on instagram haha Thank you so so much for the resources you provide, idk where my little farm and I would be without you.

    I would love to see an experiment with dog fur! A lot of folks have access to that 😅
  • @brendad.3353
    Discovered soil blocking on your channel last year and am going to try this year. As a northern front range gardener it is immensely lhelpful to see what works for you. You are the only one I've found thus far who gardens in my zone/altitude. Thank you so much for your efforts and excellent information!!

    Thank you, Bri! I appreciate your experiments so much! I used wool in the garden last year I sourced for free locally and then did the pellets in the blocks. I was so impressed with the results, especially in the garden as a mulch. Really helped hold in moisture during drought times.
  • @Nicole-sj2gu
    This is so interesting!!! Thanks for putting in this work to prove what works. How much mycorrhiza do you use in the recipes you shared?
  • @emmypoole2636
    I’m super interested to see how you made your pellets! Would love a video on that!!
  • @PlantObsessed
    I had great experience with inoculum for my tomatoes and peppers last year. The roots were amazing. Interesting about the wool.
  • @hobo_fire
    I've said this before, but I love your soil blocking videos. For some reason it's super satisfying watching you make them. I still have seed starting trays, but one day I want to give soil blocking a try instead...if only because it gives me another reason to play in the soil! 😂
  • @adamjohnson58
    Thank you for the video you are very knowledgeable and I appreciate your tips! I have a question if you were making the soil blocks ahead of time and you let them dry out would all the beneficial properties still be present or would they die??? Thank you for your help!
  • @katipohl2431
    As a biologist I remind that non-arbuscular Mycorrhizae don't associate with plants from the brassica family such as radishes.
  • @bathblooms
    Hi Brie! Please, please do a video on how you process the wool! Thanks for your videos!
  • @cbak1819
    This is so awesome..thank you for doing this. Do you know how long microriza lasts? I bought some for transplanting a while back.. I didn't like the results.. they didn't thrive.. but it wasn't a controlled study.
