New Soil Recipe ideas

[LittleTentGrow]

So I bought a bag of this handcrafted soil and it works great! But I'd like to recreate it myself, but can't figure out the proportions for each ingredient. The bag lists the ingredients as peat, perlite, rice hulls, compost, biochar, oyster flower, gypsum, azomite, basale rock dust, crab shells, fish meal, alfalfa meal, fish bone meal, kelp meal and diatomaceous earth. Any ideas?

So the peat, compost, and rice hulls are probable in a 1:1:1 ratio everything else is probably like 1 cup per cubic yard, something like that. What is the brand? That sounds like a mix a buddy and I bagged and sold locally.

Teach him how to copy somebody's product?
That's what was asked.
I don't have their recipe.

There's a lot of amendments out there.
You need to look at each and every one and ask yourself why?
What does it provide?
What are the recommended rates?
What am I duplicating? Is it available simultaneously? Are rate adjustments in order?
A lot of effort goes into creating good soil. You're going to spend more money trying to copy something, then you would just outright buying it.
I mix because I can mix better soil than I can buy. Its also a hobby that I enjoy.
If you can find good soil that you are happy with. Don't copy it. Buy it.
