So I made a personal mix of organic soil I mixed it in 4 tiers Tier 1 1 part Alaskan humus (AH) 2 part Earth worm casting (ewc) Tier 2 1 part ah/ewc 1 part perlite (added a little vermiculite too) 1 part peat moss Tier 3 For every gallon of the tier 2 mix I added 1/4 cup dolomite 2 tbsp oyster shell flour (down to earth) 2tbsp azomite Tier 4 For every gallon of the tier 3 mix I added 1/4 cup “Bio live” (down to earth) 5-4-2 1/4 cup “uprising grow” (roots organic) 6-1-2 I threw in a handful of lava rock to give more homes for microbes too. I checked pH and ppm then pH: 6.4-6.5 Ppm: 840 Currently I’m charging a few cups of Biochar in a compost tea to add in to the mix here in a couple days The tea is currently neautral pH and at about 3400 ppm I need some criticism. What am I missing? What is wrong? Do ppm and pH matter a lot in living soil. I’ve gotten mixed reviews on this matter. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
The VIP is the time you give to allow it to cook I and many others alow the soil to cook! or rest over the winter period for use in early spring its natural in that time for Ph and er...everything to swing like crazy in fact if you plot on a chart its a serious bellcurve chill good luck
