After doing a lot of reading here and elsewhere, I came up with the following idea as a simple (but hopefully effective) mixture to add to the natural soil where I will be planting (outdoors).
21 ratio of bone meal (6-9-0): blood meal (12-0-0): palm bunch ash (0-0-30). About 2 cups of this mixture, along with 1qt of perlite, per 5 gallon hole that I will dig for each plant, mix it in with the native dirt, refill the hole, then insert my paper-towel-germinated seedlings. I decided to omit lime since the pb ash is alkaline, and my soil is starting within a 6-7 range for pH.
I'm asking for suggestions about types, amounts, and ratios of the ferts and perlite, hole size, etc. Anything really. My main goal is to keep things simple and get a decent quality harvest. I'm not big into fert/water solutions because I rarely need to water given the rainfall in my area.
