Hello Everyone,
This is my first time and a few people have given me guidance and I have done some reading and I should have what I need for a water only garden in which I can start 7 days after mixing roughly -- here we go:
20 gallons perlite
20 gallon peat moss
10 gallons EWC
10 gallons Compost -- still need to find a good one (in Canada)
then 4 cups of each:
- organic neem / karanja
- kelp meal
- alfalfa Meal
- crab Meal
32 cups of Rock dust:
-------- 22 cups of glacier rock
--------5 cups of bentonite ------is there anything else I can replace this with - told it would clump
------- 5 cups of oyster shell
Or I could go with this blend for Rock Dust - 32 cups but more expensive:
Rock blend — Basalt, Carbontite, Oyster, Soft rock and Woolastonite $51/ 10 lbs
Please give me feedback as I want to ensure I am on the right track.
I was told to wet this and mix it and let it sit for a week and then top with 2" of EWC and good to go.
Feedback please
