Better to add gypsum than ag lime due to the neutral pH of the coco coir.Hey bro, thanks for chiming in!
I use pretty raw coco, i dont think it needs more aeration. It got a portion of coconut fibers for aeration. I thought of adding rice hulls, but with current water holding i think its good.
I add quite some lime because the coco in unbuffered. Not sure about how much to add, and I want to add palm ash that raise the pH as well. I think I will have to run a soil pH test after mixing and adjust.
Any tip on amounts to start with?
Sourcing good compost is my next step. I tend to prefer them plant based, but it not common around here.
Currently it seems like I will go with vermicompost from cow poop + forest floor compost
