Ok… this season was my first converting my market garden to regenerative growing… my goal is to be using compost only as garden input within next year or 2. I took the SFW course and started early spring with a thermophilic compost 60-40 browns-greens, lots of diversity of inputs. It worked well on my perennials but most of my annuals looked like they were being starved. Thankfully I had a vermicompost pile nearly ready as well, it was closer to 50-50 browns-greens again with lots of diversity, and my annuals other than my kale (pest ridden) responded well. Initially they improved quickly and pests reduced rapidly…. but then I think I either added too much or my ratio of greens was too high… as I kept using a similar vermicompost all season and by the end of the season lower succession weeds started coming back, some overly vegetative growth & aphids and larval stage pests started showing up again. So my plan for this next year is to make my vermicompost closer to 60-40 browns to greens and start using that early spring for a kick, and have some high brown Johnson Su to complement if I start getting to rich again. I also have some wood chip mulch that I am starting to lightly sprinkle on beds now in addition to paths. Is it your opinion that as soil starts improving you should be able to push your compost additions so they include increasingly more browns (senescent) material?
