The reasons behind my recipe is that peat makes your soil acidic and i already have a low ph problem in my area. Im using coir in one recipe instead of peat because coir lasts longer and has higher levels of potassium, sulfur, and chlorine. I realize coir has the same effect on ph as peat but its a lot easier to carry. 1/3 of my plants will have a mix of coir,native soil, and compost. The other 2/3 will have topsoil,native soil, and compost the choice is just to save money.
The reason im not using blood meal or blood meal in my recipe is ive heard that blood meal and bone meal attract animals which can end in them digging up your plants. I will only have a few weeks to let my soil sit until I can transplant so i dont want to risk having my plants get destroyed. Just a few words of thought.
