    Amended per cuF with:

    1/2 - 1 cup Neem or Karanja
    1/2 - 1 cup Kelp
    1/2 - 1 cup Crab/Crustacean meal
    1 cup MBP (Malted Barley Powder)

    1/2 cup Gypsum (nice sulphur source)
    4-6 cups Basalt
    6-8 cups Biochar

    Added the "high in what nutrients". Is it accurate for all, the ones you are familiar with?

    Dosage based on 16g/60l of soil mix (Perlite+ewc+peatmoss (4:3:3 ratio) 6.4:4.8:4.8 gallons).

    Nutritional amendments: Target number of cups 6.
    Bat guano 32 tsp (96grams) High in nitrogen
    Bone meal 2 US cups (400grams) High in phosphorus
    Neem cake 1/2 cup High in nitrogen
    Shrimp shell/skin 1 cup High in calcium, phosphorus, chitin
    Alfalfa grass 1/2 cup High in nitrogen
    Gypsum 1 cup High in sulphur, calcium
    Fish meal 6 tbsp High in nitrogen
    CI Rock phosphate 1/4 cup High in phosphorus
    Mycorrhizae 1 tsp
    Epsom salt 30ml High in magnesium, calcium
    Fermented goat manure 160grams High in potassium, magnesium
    Bio Organic HI-FERT 160grams High in phosphorus, potassium, magnesium
    Humic Phosphate 1/2 tsp High in humic acid, phosphorus
    Humic Organic 1/2 tsp High in humic acid, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium
    Humic Amino 1/2 tsp High in humic acid, nitrogen, magnesium, amino acid
    Super Organic 100 1/2 tsp High in nitrogen, calcium, TE

    Liquids:
    Potassium humate 4g/1liter High in humic acid, potassium
    Fish Amino Acids (FAA) 10ml/1liter
    EM 2ml/1liter
    Folia+ (kelp) 1ml/1liter

  7. Is this in granular or powdered form? I read the dosage should be lower for powdered.

    1/2 cup Gypsum (nice sulphur source)

  8. You’re off the hook man. Did you get bit by the organic bug or what?

  9. No, just making sure. 1/2 cup gypsum per cf is what stated in no till recipe, but it did not state it is powdered or granular. I see in the states, some of your products, you have both powdered and granular (e.g rock phosphate, gypsum, azomite, humic acid) whereas all these are powdered in my region. Also, I see the dosage used for powdered is about 1/4 that of granular.

    Made the list a lot simpler.
    I added the fruiting fertilizer because there is no good potassium source in the list.
    Do you think the N or P should be reduced further?
    If need to reduce N, then options are to reduce bat guano to 1/2 cup and/or fish meal to 4 tbsp.
    If need to reduce P, then bone meal will be reduced to 1 cup.

    This is for 2cuft (16gallons).
    Nutritional amendments: Target number of cups 6. 1 cup=250ml.
    Bat guano (10:3:1) 3/4 cup (108grams)
    Bone meal (3:9:1) 1.5 cups (319grams)
    Shrimp skin (ave 6:6:0) 1 cup
    Neem cake (5:1:1) 1/2 cup
    Alfalfa grass (2:1:2) 1/2 cup
    Fruiting fertilizer (2:5:8) 1 cup
    Fish meal (ave 8:6:0) 6 tbsp
    Gypsum 1/4 cup (Ca23%/S18%)
    Epsom salt 5 tsp (Mg10%/S13%)
    Mycorrhizae 1 tsp
    Total: 6 cups

    Mineral amendments:
    Dolomite *add later only if needed.
    Azomite 1/3 cup
    Biochar 16 cups

    Liquids for watering:
    Potassium humate 4g/1liter
    Fish Amino Acids (FAA) 10ml/1liter
    EM 2ml/1liter
    Folia+ (kelp) 1ml/1liter
