naw brother, .. this is the first time I fell like I've been able to come out and say this.... without feeling like I'm stepping on someones feet....

compost... in a bucket... is still just compost in a bucket.

this is where I stand. for better or for worse... anyone who's anyone knows fish bone meal, kelp meal, neem meal, crab meal... sitting in a bucket for a month with active microbes.... is basically just fancy compost in bucket.... that's as real as it gets... it's all just compost in a bucket. breaking down the most expensive "meals" on the market... for a 4 week cook time..."cook" means "compost" time.. is compost in a bucket...

and if someone wanted to get real ... 50% air, 40% minerals, and 10% OM... the ideal ratio for mimicking "Mother Nature".

1/3 Peat Moss = OM
1/3 Compost = OM
1/3 Perlite = aeration

that is 75% Organic Matter...

is that why the liquid silica is needed? cause there's no sand in the OM rich medium... it's definitely not soil. it's straight Organic Material. in a bucket.

no offense meant to anyone...
in a nutshell...

fish "meal", kelp "meal", neem "whatever" Plus, anything else you want to put in a 5 gallon bucket.... is still just going to be compost in a 5 gallon bucket.

call it soil or call it whatever... 75% compost is compost in a bucket to me
