Organic Fertlizer Assistance

Hey growers, I have my medical outdoor grow in raised beds that contain 30 cubic feet of native soils, clay-silt, that has been amended with mushroom compost, Llama poop and lime.

Want to stay Organic and I as looking for suggestions on what additional organic amendments I might consider in my beds.

I would like to lower my PH just a bit while providing food for the May-Oct. growing season.

PH 6.9/7.0

Thanks for you suggestions...

No more lime. It raises pH. If you need more Ca use Gypsum, neutral pH. Peat moss is pretty low pH, and will lighten your mix. I would add 1/2 part Perlite to 1 part Peat, till in. In an extreme situation, you can till in pure sulfur which will lower pH and has a lasting effect. In excess it will fuck with your microherd. Whatever you do, do it very soon so everything can work by May. Good luck. -granger
