What is is?[edit]
MS is short for Mineralised soil.
This is when you take soil and lay it out in a thin layer to dry out completely.
This exposes the soil to the air and beaks down the organic matter to help prevent a initial release of ammonia which can be given off when making a Walstad tank.
- It may also kill off parasites that may be lurking in the soil.
- It may also kill off beneficial bacteria and fungi.
