Once a week I feed a compost tea to my ladies. I mix up a 5gal bucket tea per bed. They get this once a week (every weekend) and the rest of the week they soak up just tap water from the BluMat system i have in place. It is extremely easy and so time consuming.
Basically I have x2 10gal buckets between the beds on a shelf. *You can kind of see them in the first pic up top* each bucket goes to a bed. Each bed has drip tape and it slowly releases water into the beds. They come with ceramic carrots that measure water moisture. Once you dial it to the moisture of your choice, it will alwayz stay at that moisture level as long as there is water in your reservoir. Once it reaches the moisture level, it will stop dripping water. And when it dries up, it will drip water. And the best part about it all??? ITS GRAVITY POWERED, NO ELECTRICITY 🤯 hmu on instagram if you have questions about it

@Psilocubensis, absolutely they play a major role. Its all red clover. Brings in nitrogen from the air and brings it directly to your roots. Also allows the soil to maintain moisture longer and not dry out as fast. It also allows the worms to come higher up as well as your roots to almost the surface. Many many many benefits to a living mulch
