Okay I want to start a not till organic soil mix, iv purchased some ingredients but am wondering if I'm missing anything? IvI' got coco coir as well as some compost as a base
My couple Pennies: I think the malted Barley is much more useful freshly ground. You should be able to find it whole at a home brew store. Not to say what you have is unusable, just not ideal. What are you using for your 1/3 airation? Why, no biochar? Also, I would use SPM instead of the coir. Otherwise, the rest should work great. Sent from my SM-G935V using Grasscity Forum mobile app
krill meal is basically like crab meal it is krill from the ocean haha, and like i said i got coco and compost. Also i forgot to add i got some ecothrive charge & biosys
it sounds like i can pull it off mate. what is the layer test?? and iv heard of coco as a sub for peat moss as it is just basically the same just coco is better for the environment and all that jazz
Krill meal is much more than a rich source of essential aminoacids andpolyunsaturated fatty acids It is also characterized as a source of (a) nitrogenoussubstances of powerful attractant features; (b) natural pigments; (c)micronutrients, and (d) growth enhancers, all of which provide krill meal with ahigh biological value and high palatability, making it the natural complement for less palatant and cost effective feed formulations.
this is a claim from the source: South Antarctic Krill Meal for use in soil mixes to add Calcium and other minerals. Krill is one of our planet’s largest biomasses. This tiny crustacean, present in all oceans, holds a vital position in the marine food chain. Through millions of years of evolution, krill’s bioactive components and molecules have sustained Nature’s diverse species. We source our Krill Meal from Aker BioMarine, who develop krill-based ingredients, rich in the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, for nutraceutical, aquaculture, and animal feed applications. The Antarctic krill fishery is one of the world’s most sustainable fisheries. It is also notable for near-zero by-catches, fully transparent operations, and Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification, the highest standard for sustainable fisheries. In 2016, the krill fishery received an “A” rating by the Sustainable Fishery Partnership as the only reduction fishery in the world with a biomass that is rated “in very good condition.”
A myth started by the coco industry. Peat harvesting is closely regulated to protect peat bogs. There is absolutely no sustainability issues with using Sphagnum peat moss (SPM). The truth about peat moss Not only that but SPM is a lot better for soil building then coir due to higher cation capacity, sulfur and a plethora of beneficial microbes. SPM is alive! On the other hand coir has lower CEC, harbors no microbial life and has a tendency to lock onto calcium, often leading to deficiencies if not treated properly. If you really want to make the best soil for your medicine I highly suggest you reconsider.
