I know last load was: Greensand, Rock Phosphate, Guano's (Bat/Seabird) SolPoMag, Shellfish mixes,Blood,Bone,Potash (just a little, very high pH),Kelp Meal,Lot of general Poultry (manure and light pellet mixes),Rock Dust (Glacial), etc, etc. Usually shopping trips walking through and ending up with a couple pallets and just pick through as we go along, and, then, try to even out and balance the mix as much as possible. (Ie: You could NOT make equal amounts of all of the above, who knows what it would even turn out as...) Sometimes, later, you use less of one or another, but, then, of course, just have more on hand for future and alter next purchases around what you already have laying around....
(You go to the right place, and, you get 50lb bags for pennies..(25-30 bucks), half ton will run you less than a grand...) Ideally, you go in person, if you have to ship, going to cost you, and, ideally, you need something to receive it (Landscaping business, something to that effect.)
Sometimes if a special on a basic, would use that as a base and then work it further. (Got a deal once on some pellet poultry, like, 4-4-4 or something, and, worked that further....) Everytime different and just try to get the most even mix as possible. (Not always easy)I've used the 2 FF's as a base also and reworked those.
(I've only done organics outside, never inside..)
Fems have to be watched though also. Might get a stray here and there. I've had pretty good success with FMS, and, prices reasonable in bulk.(I'd be really happy though if they would mix up their line up and add some new things...). I think everyone should have some fem laying around, "just in case"....(spur of moment opportunity, this, that, etc, etc....I've ran into a lot of "last minute opportunities"....would not have been possible otherwise.
Edit: I thought Molson was soil?? (I've seen a lot of those larger up North that were soil....)

Sure, from close up you can tell, couple hundred feet and moving is a different story.
