I was riding around the neighborhood and spied on a living tree with its' base hollowed out by rot. I scooped out about 5 gallons worth with plans to use it for a soil mix.
The texture seems nice and crumbly when dried. The larger pieces were broken off the innards of the still living tree and feel really nice and spongy. I know there will be bugs in this so before I mix up my soil, I was wondering what is the best way to prep it for later use.
Can I grind up some neem meal and mix it in then moisten with neem tea? I also have Pyrethrin on hand which I can mix up with Diatomaceous Earth which I can use to blanket the surface area.
As much as possible I am trying to stay away from commercial products which I know will kill them.
Many thanks for any insight.
