Alright, I decided to throw together an outdoor grow, mostly spur of the moment. I had some leftover stuff, and bought a few things locally. Some portions probably downright suck, but I tried to use what I had and get dirt cooking quick. Please give thoughts. 48" X 14"ish holes. BASE SOIL: 6 cubic feet sphagnum peat moss 2 cubic feet perlite 5 cubic feet of cow/horse composted manure Roughly 1 cubic foot of native soil (sand) 2.5 Cups Dolomite Lime 4tbsp Humic Acid 2tbsp Endo Mycorrhizae 1.5tbsp Actinovate NUTRIENT SOIL 3.5 Cups Bone Meal 1.5 Cups Blood Meal 1 Cup Kelp Meal 1 Cup FF Fruit & Flower and FF Bulb Food Mix 1/2 Cup Bloom Bat Guano 1/2 Cup Bloom Seabird Guano 1/2 Cup Greensand 1/2 Cup Epsom Salts 1/2 Cup Azomite 2 Cups Hardwood Ash 2 Cups Poultry Litter What I've done is split my base soil in half, mixed my extra nutrients into one half, pour that into my hole, and then strictly use my base soil almost as a buffer soil. I figure I'm a light on some nutrients, hopefully my levels won't damage future growth. Watered with 2.5gal of water w/ 2tbsp Liquid Karma/unsulphured molasses, the entire grow area is covered with a black tarp to help speed the cooking process. Please give constructive thoughts and opinions, I am thinking maybe a couple teas to get the ladies thru, but also hoping my lower layer doesn't burn the piss out of them early. Thanks!
I would make a LAB culture and water a good dose of it on your soil to help cook yer soil. I would also add 10 cups of basalt rock dust, 6 more cups of kelp meal, 5 cups of gypsum, and 7 cups of neem seed meal, and you may need more aeration. I think what you have now might work really good
