I filled this structure with some old wood I found in all places . . . the woods. Just a rotten pile of logs that had been sitting there awhile, but looked like it had some mycelium in it. I drug it out of the woods and filled the lower part of my enclosure with it. On top of that, I put another foot or more of inexpensive compost, right from the Chisago County Compost Site to grow the plants in. I will be using a lot of Ron's Pumpkin Pro hoping the mycorrhizal inoculant will grow down from the roots and tap into any nutrients the wood has to offer. I don't know if that will work or not, but I do know the competition is very tough and I am going to have to think "Out of the Box" and take some chances to compete with the intelligence and ingenuity of the growers on this site. You're all amazing. Fusarium and nitrogen lockup are two scary things I should probably learn about.
