Do you do composting worms too?
There are live worms in my bin yes along with coffee grounds and veggie and fruit waste from the kitchen.

I don’t know if they ever make it into the pots tho. I’m assuming they do sometimes.
I do the same thing, all my soil is from the worm bin red wigglers, pull soil out for a run and it goes back in. Works well.

Possibly and possibly not? Why’s the soil look so woody? Can you get an accurate soil ph? Like a slurry test using distilled water.

My compost bin is under a cypress tree. Sometimes I pick up whatever when I’m getting soil out of the bottom of the bin. Anyway I don’t have a soil tester. It is next on list of stuff to buy.

Wedding cake in the same soil. She looks good to me so far. I should probably clean to top of that gelato up……

Ok. Slurry test soil mixed with the distilled water. Test with my ph pen?

I wouldn’t call it discoloration. If anything a tiny bit on the hungry side, but very healthy looking.

I’m PHing my ro water around 7. Maybe too much?

Don’t ph ro or distilled water.
It’s almost 9 coming out.
It’s not, it’s a false reading and can actually damage ph meters.
Let the water rest in a jar and then test it. What you are seeing is a lack of oxygen and other atmospheric “things”

I was wondering why when I first put the pen in the numbers bounce all over the place. Lol. 
Slurry test. 1 part soil to 1 part distilled water yes?
