Ok, I think I got my soil mix worked out (10 cu ft total) 50% pro-mix bx. (5 cu. ft.) 25% aeration. (1 part vermiculite, 1 part perlite, 1 part buckwheat hulls, 1 part coir) 25% compost. (1 part EWC, 1 part CoM builder, 2 parts Lobster) 5# Granite Meal 5# Azomite (powder) 1/2 cup Gypsum 2 cups Kelp Meal 2 cups Alfalfa Meal 1 cup Fish Meal 1 cup Bone Char Meal 1 cup Cottonseed Meal 1 cup Soybean Meal 10 gal ACT (2+ cups EWC, 1 tbsp molasses) I have a big compost tumbler to mix and "cook" the soil. I plan on turning it daily, will this shorten the time needed to cycle the nutrients? The compost tumbler claims to make compost in14 days, but I have yet to see that! I'm thinking I should add Menafee humates, but I am not sure on a proportion. I also have these things on hand Pro mix bx Sphagnum peat moss Perlite Vermiculite Buckwheat hulls Coir (shredded) Chip coconut CoM lobster compost CoM salmon, blueberry, old bark and manure compost Dried blood bone meal Alfalfa meal Soybean meal Cotton seed meal Granite meal Azomite (powder and pellet) Bone char meal Fish meal Gypsum Kelp meal Dolomite lime Worm castings K-mag Bat guano 0-5-0 Menafee humates Green sand Epsom salts Rock phosphate Liquid fish hydrosylate Liquid kelp Molasses Any help/suggestions encouraged. Thanks tree
Your mix sounds solid bro. My only nit to pick would be I don't like vermiculite in pots. Your mix will start out on the hot side, so it would not be good for seedlings or cuts, but it should serve you very well......MIW
