Yup, this works. And if you put it in craft mode it will even craft the fertilizer for you on demand if you have a pattern for them in your system somewhere already.

You should have a separate constant powersource for your AE system to prevent this. (Not that I'm one to talk. My AE system is such a power hog that I have to buffer energy and switch it off when not it use
)That was early in the game. Now that time has gone by, I now have an entire boiler dedicated to AE. I waste a bunch of power, but too much is better than too little.You should have a separate constant powersource for your AE system to prevent this. (Not that I'm one to talk.

I was using an oil fabricator to use the excess power, under the impression that the oil fab would act like a matter fab does for EU--only use what's available. But that didn't work--as I expanded my AE system, it's power needs increased, and the oil fab just used too much power.
Am now going to try a squeezer to use as my energy sink to squeeze the excess apples I have in my system. Hopefully it works better.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. BTW how many energy units is your AE system using? Mine's only on 201 so far...
The interface is searchable, so in this aspect I find it better than vanilla chests. No more squinting at the screen trying to that one item out of 64 in your junks chests!!! I don't see any reason to have separate ME networks, other than distance.
Like others have already said, 16k drives are the way to go. I also have 1, 4K drive in a ME chest and that is my overflow.. All my other drives have been formatted. When I find the overflow getting filled with types, I know it's time to adjust my pre-formatted disks and/or create a new one.

Love. It. Move to ae as soon as you can. The remote access to your entire inventory whereever you are relatively speaking is game breaking. The consolidation of space is amazing. The inputs and outs are tedious and probably not worth the time if you just put down xy fabricators everywhere or stuff like that.
Yeah I've got a way to go.
Still haven't made wireless access but there wouldn't be much point since we have to go into the room to rotate the energy cube every time we want to use it
Inputs and outputs are tedious? What? That's a very important part of AE.
E.g., put an export bus on the top of a macerator, and an import bus on the side. The export bus will automatically export every iron ore you get and put the iron dust into AE. You put another export bus on a powered furnace, induction furnace, etc., and put an import bus on the side. Then you can set it up so that you automatically get the dusts smelted into ingots.
Export bus and import bus are much better than BC pipes because things don't spill out of them. E.g., I have an alveary for oil bee production. It tries to put both oily combs and propolis into a centrifuge. It was set up with pipes before. It worked fine at normal speeds, because it would process the comb and the proplis would come much later. But when I upgraded the alvearies with frames, it became too fast. There would still be propolis in the squeezer when the next oily comb would be ready. Since there was no place for it to go, it spilled to the ground.
I changed it to AE. The oily combs and the propolis both go to AE. The centrifuge has an export bus on it that automatically pulls oily combs and proplis from AE and puts it in the centrifuge. Here's the thing. If the centrifuge can't accept it, it won't import it So if there is propolis in the centrifuge and another proplis goes into AE, it sticks the proplis into the centrifuge. But if an oily comb comes into the system, it waits until the centrifuge is empty before it puts the oily comb in there.
Same thing with scrap and matter fabricators. My base is solar. So during the day, it has a lot of power, but during night, it doesn't. On my old base, where I had recyclers connected via BC pipe to the matter fab. I was constantly having problems with this fact. If I didn't make scrap quick enough, it would be fine at night, but burn through all the scrap during the day. If I made scrap quick enough to handle the day, it would spill all over the floor at night. AE doesn't have that problem. Scrap gets imported into AE and exported to the matter fab. Excess is automatically stored in AE.

For anyone interested in AE interfaces, here's some AE interfaces set up to fill REC frames and tesseract frames (Liara made it):
