Soil recipe help

[Chong_Irie]

I'm using LC's soiless mix 2 with dry recipe #1( bone, blood and kelp meal). What would you guys recommend as application rates for the following: Soft rock phosphate, sul po mag, Agrowinn "rock dust" and alfalfa meal. Im mixing roughly 48 gallons worth of soil and want to let it sit for 2 months.

Lastly I have almost 10 gallons of fermenting bokashi scraps consisting of egg shells, banana peels, pasta, pizza, carrots, etc. I'm digging a trench and burying it, in 2months when this breaks down, is this acceptable as my compost for the mix?

JayKush...Clack...anyone?

i use SRP at 5g per litre of soil (20g/gallon) (as a secondary source of P which is the same as what you are doing) the rock dust you could use at the same rate.

why not add the bokashi directly to your containers, then wait 2 months?

ML: So make my soil mix and then put in the bokashi? I was thinking of doing it separately hoping the bokashi would help out the soil in the backyard, for growing veggies and such...Good idea??

Thanks VG

I think seperately is fine. I plan on using some bokashi, as worm food, and some as a compost enhancer. Then I will use both the finished compost and EWC as soil amendments.........scrappy

Don't overdo bokashi in your container. Maybe a handful for 10 gallons of soil, absolute maximum. (are you bare-handing it yet?) You want to have worms working in there. You want the bokashi covered, not at the bottom of your pot. 2 months room temperature (70 or so). Just think of it as guano or blood maybe. It is hot stuff and will kill your plants when fresh it contacts the roots.

That leaves a lot for your yard...
