Okay...I have ZERO peat in my current mix. I simply don't use it due to the effects it has on pH...
My current mix is something like this:
1 gal local organic soil (no nutrient profile)
1/2 gal perlite
1/4 gal EWC
guanos (as needed for cycle)
2 tbsp dolomite
1 tbsp Kelp meal
I let this "cook" for 2 weeks and moisten it with a mixture of 1 tbsp molasses and 5ml of Liquid Karma per gallon of RO water.
What I want to do is add coco-coir to this essential mix. The main reason for doing this is I want to reduce the amount of perlite I am using in the mix. Mostly because it is very dusty and has added N. So, I was thinking of cutting the perlite with the coir....or adding just as much coir as perlite to the mix...
I was asking earlier in chat if it was possible to mix soil and coco-coir and it was very clear that there were possible problems that could arise...would anyone care to explain why this is not a good idea?
