Sorry to be another Lomi poster
I got a Lomi last year for from fb marketplace for cheap, thinking it could be a budget-friendly way to generate soil to repot indoor plants and use in my rooftop garden. I used to repot quite frequently but overtime my collection grew and it became too expensive to do regularly and my plants have suffered. However, like most Lomi users, I did not realize I wouldn't be able to plant with just the Lomi output since I'm not planting into the earth.
The most obvious use for my compost is as a top layer, but I'm hoping to find a way for a larger percentage of my plant material to be compost so I can reduce the amount I have to purchase. I've tried other methods I've read on here to make compost viable for potting: mixing a small amount of compost into potting soil to decompose further (it became moldy and too firm to work with); keeping compost moist in a ventilated bucket (same issue with the mold making it unworkable). I've seen Mel's Mix which would enable my soil to be 1/3 compost so I'm wondering if anyone has had success with that? Or if you have tips on doing it or the other methods? I've read so many posts on here that have contradicting information and it's confusing. I basically just want any ideas on what to do with all this compost besides adding it to the NYC food scrap bins in front of my building lol. Thanks!
