My mix:
30 gal base (equal parts peat, perlite, and compost)
3/4 c soil sweetener
9 c EWC
1 c bat guano
1 c fish bone meal
2 Tbsp Ful-Humix
2 c Azomite
2 c basalt dust
2 c kelp meal
2 c alfalfa meal
2 c crab meal
2 c neem seed meal
1 c mycos
3/4 c yucca powder
2 c diatomaceous earth
The soil sweetener is dolomite lime. The label says that it's 82.25% calcium carbonate and 4.82% magnesium carbonate. My plants seem to be doing fine (although lots of them have red stripes on the stems), but I haven't taken anything to harvest in this mix yet. So far, I've used the soil without letting it cook, but I'm getting ready to mix a big batch that will sit for a month or more. It's my understanding that dolomite lime doesn't doesn't become available very quickly. Am I getting enough mag via the other amendments? Should I add epsom salt to the mix?
