Hey there 420,
I'm about to add some dry amendments to my base soil mix and I was hoping for some advice.
It's had one grow to harvest so far, so I'm thinking it could do with a booster.
The base soil mix is advertised as 'living soil'.
It contains sphagnum peat moss, pumice, worm castings, compost, bio-char, paramagnetic rock dust, soft agricultural lime, gypsum, mussel meal, neem meal, kelp meal, and ground malted barley.
I'm aiming for a 15 gallon mix which is going into a 15 gallon fabric pot (around 60 liters).
I have added some peat moss (around one gallon), kelp meal (2cups), and worm castings (around 5 cups) so far.
I don't have the means to test the soil in a laboratory, so I'm going to wing it.
I got some extra goodies yesterday and I was wondering if anyone has any tips or advice so I don't mess it up. The amendments I have are as follows:
Alfalfa meal,
Organic acids (amino, fulvic, humic)
Rock phosphate,
Mussel meal,
Sugarbeet molasses meal,
Feather meal,
Volcanic rock dust,
Inoculated bio-char,
Kelp meal,
Mealworm frass,
Fish meal,
Diatomaceous earth,
Seabird guano (phosphorus)
I also got some mycorrhizae and trichoderma fungi.
If anyone has any advice on how much of each I should add to the base soil mix to make up a 15 gallon mix, I would be really grateful.
Thanks for your time, I appreciate it.
