Apparently not. Of course, worms would generally make quick work of that sort of thing...

I never understood why people do the ibc setup like that. Does not seem cost effective at 100 a piece. You could buy lumber and liner for a lot cheaper.

I'm not sure you're right about that. Prices for lumber, liner and IBC's vary from place to place. Sometimes IBC's are free or very cheap - just looking locally it's anywhere from $50 to 130 dollars for an IBC. I didn't notice if Thuglaw mentioned the cost for his but it's also an advantage in some areas to not use wood (because of termites).

Cheers

If I am not mistaken, Gordon has been using bone meal as a supplement in his system with good results.

Lumber and liner materials must be a lot cheaper in the states I'm guessing?
