Isopods

Since small critters are amongst the main inhabitants of a fallow/Brache/jachère they absolutely deserve their own entry… Isopods are fantastic. They are really old and they don’t give a crap about your opinions. 1

Schedule

Feeding

1x a week some veggie/mushroom/fruit and 1x week some specialised food or dry (dog food, fish flakes)

Misting

If I notice the isopods are huddling on the wet side, I increase the misting frequency or amount until they stop huddling on the moist side. Conversely, if I notice them huddling on the dry side, I decrease the misting until they stop huddling on the dry side.

Some say daily, some say weekly.

Impressions

Springtails, lots of them.
