Organic soil mix

Discussion in 'Advanced Growing Techniques' started by Grateful noob, Jan 2, 2020.

  1. 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.
