Hello friends, I need some ideas for how to mix my soil.
I have the following ingredients at my disposal;
fox farm ocean forest soil
bone meal
perlite
bat guano
worm castings
Which recipe should I use to best utilize my ingredients? Thank you.
Im not sure what guano you have but id assume a high phos which means you would also need a nitrogen source(like blood meal) and trace minerals(azomite)
Thanks for the reply.
Would a soil mix of
-1 part fox farm ocean forest soil
-1 part perlite
-1 part compost (Blood meal x Kelp meal x Bone meal x EWC)
be good? azomite isn't in any local stores so I can't get any trace minerals.
there are a ton of other sources of trace minerals, galacial rock dust, greensand, and a lot of liquid nutes have a good source of trace. otherwisr soil mix looks good, make sure you cook it for a week or two!
You can't order online? Many rock dusts available, and unless you're mixing a lot of soil, you won't need but a lb. or 2. A really great trace min product I get dramatic results with is Seacrop. It's concentrated sea water with 95% of the salt [NaCl] removed. Has every element. BTW, why don't you adapt one of the many soil recipes available on ICMAG instead of re-inventing. Good luck. -granger
