I need help with my soil mix!!!

sounds like way to much lime but i may be wrong, u can burn plants witb lime

 

Waaaaay too much lime. The usual recommendation is 1-2 tbsp per gallon of soil. 10% is ridiculously high

 

Id also recommend promix Hp over the bx. It already has extra perlite as well as dolomites line added in.

 

I check out my mix in my journal if you like.

 

Use 1 gal wormcastings and 1/3 cup of lime. Add perlite till the soil crumbles easily in your had after squeezing it tightly in your fist. I'm generous with it.

Plan on adding any more ammendments? I use blood and bonemeal in the same ratio as my lime. I keep my organic soil in a rubbermaid, turning it and keeping it damp for a month so the microbes grow and break down the nutrients.

 

hmmm, that's counter intuitive lol, I've always thought that roots need oxygen, not co2. Did you mean aerated water?

 

Just to add...make sure it is the fine powdered dolomite line and not the pellets.

 

But again, if you go with promix Hp then the extra perlite and lime are already added....you can add castings or more perlite or any other amendments as you desire.
