as it says in the title, looking into switching from coco to living soil
found an interesting site that make their own soil,
ingredient list is -
3 part base mix of Laverstoke Park Farm Compost, Applecart Worm Castings, Coco Coir & Buckwheat Hulls, with added natural amendments
Neem Meal, Kelp Meal, Fish Meal & Krill Meal for nutrition plus Gypsum & Volcanic Rock Dust for all other essential minerals.
We also now add Ecothrive Charge to increase diversity of microbes and give the soil an extra boost!
The Ultimate version is improved further by adding Pumice & BioChar to improve structure, aeration and homes for microbes, as well as long term nutrient release and boosted microbial diversity
copy pasted the main info, sound alright? it is intended as a soil for life all ready to go,its not cheap, but then how much is the cost of buying all the base ingredients to blend your own, and add in the ‘cooking’ time...
so they also supply worms and clover crops for a chop and drop mulch
anyone ever tried this with our little weeds here?
curious about it tbh, i guess the worms eventually die, and you just leave em in with everything between grows in that mix?
anyways, i decided the resources, time commitment and bore of mixing nutes and ph’ng crap in coco is a pain in the arse. plus organic is organic so...
in a few weeks il be gearing up to germinate some seeds hopefully and want to make the switch then so looking to get all the info ican in now
peace and health
