Need advice on this soil mix.

[trichrider]

I love your decisions. all of them.

I made the combinations and quantities up...

i went a little less on the blood and bone because i dont want the soil mix to be too hot, as i will be adding alfalfa meal and liquid karma.

Any Further Recommendations?

How much soil will it be once you are done? How many five gallons can you get out of this mix? I would throw in some oyster shells also. dirrtyd

 

[CheifnBud2]

mixing 24 gallons of soil for tomatoes. I dont have access to oyster shell, but i do have access to powdered dolomite.

The 6 medical plants that i have will be in fox farms ive decided. If the tomatoes thrive, im using the soil mix next year for my medical plants.

Chief,

You should be fine without the oyster shells. While it is good for long term Calcium release, the bone meal, dolomite, kelp meal and other amendments should give you plenty of Ca. You should have yourself a pretty good organic soil.
