Re: bio-active question

The easiest way to start a bioload for a bioactive setup is to buy a container of bait worms and add it dirt and all in the lowest level of the soil. Nightcrawlers for animals that might eat worms, red wrigglers for any other.

That or get a shovel full of dirt from your backyard, but that option isn't available for all.

Re: bio-active question

I wouldn't worry about any additives. People have gone crazy with the sterile thing. Just add whatever dirt mix you need, some leaves, bark, wood, plants, etc. and you'll soon have a thriving community of microfauna. It's the microscopic stuff that does most of the work. Throw in some springtails, isopods, or whatever you want and you're done.
