    im just using organic soil with a vermiculite and perlite mix.have never experimented with bat,kelp,worm castings before.A nice fluffy organic soil mix which has added perlite and vermiculite to aid in aeration and water retention will do just fine.Has done for me for years anyhow.Hope that helps:)

    You have lots of good supplements, additives, and fertilizers, but you need a base soil. Get some organic potting soil that does not have time-release ferts in it. It should be comprised of composted materials and might also contain sphagnum moss. It might also contain some sand, that's OK because it helps drainage.

    My formulation is:
    40% organic soil
    30% sphagnum moss
    20% worm castings
    10% perlite

    Note: if the organic soil already has sphagnum moss in it I will increase the soil and decrease the moss ratios.

    Watch out using bone meal, it can raise your pH.
