Looking to learn and more importantly understand what it takes to build a 100% organic supersoil that will go from A-Z.
Few questions to start this off;
1st. Can it happen. Can you build a living soil that can produce more than enough of EVERY nutrient that a plant can use? Can you plant in a 7-10 gallon pot and go from A-Z nothing added and the plant happy throughout?
2nd. Could someone (for the most part) toss the pH pen comfortably?
3rd. Where to start? There are so many things available to make it out of. I mean I'm sure you cant just mix up 20 pounds of earthworm castings along with 10 pounds of rabbit shit and 5 pounds of oyster shells and some perlite right? How does someone learn how to build a well balanced soil?
4th and no this is not a joke...Does my urine count as 100% organic? I ask because of our diets? I don't eat or drink all organic.
I'm interested in learning how to build myself a supersoil that can go the distance with nothing added and lose nothing at the end of the grow if that's possible. Do you build it on a NPK value? I wouldnt think that would be necessary because the soil is always producing.
It's just a start. I want to get a better understanding. Thanks
