So i use a rendition of subcools supersoil but i use the one listed in a thread on another site by joeblow some small differences to sub's actual mix here it is:
6 pounds fish bone meal
6 pounds bat guano (i use down to earth for all amendments this one is the 3-10-1)
3 pounds feather meal 12-0-0? Somewheres in there
instead of sunshine organic blend and the chunky perlite i substitute it for the sunshine #4 bales 2 of them becasue i cant get the other here
1 bag roots organic soil
handful or so azomite
handful or so of calpril
2 35# bags of earth worm castings
ok so thats my mix i mix it all up real good then store it in rubbermaid totes with 5 gallons of RO water on them for at least 2 months before using the soil
i was given oh about a handful or so of jersey greensand and about the same amount a lil more of the activate 80 (leonardite shale)
i've never used these in my mix before but i do notice that the roots organic itself has both of these ingredients already this being a "hot" soil as it is i dont want to toss in anything thats going to bring me problems i've used the soil without adding these things to it and had great success' as has a close friend of mine thats who gave me these things the activate 80 is a fulvic and humic acid and trace elements as i understand it used for root stimulation and the jersey green sand is just a soil conditioner my friends thinking is that the mix we use is lacking the third elemnet in the n-p-k ratings
and says this green sand will help with that i'm no scientist or anything i just do what i see other people do and it works for them and me alike but if theres something i can add to my soil thats going to be beneficaila with no side affects and thats also going to or the potential is there for it to bring me a larger and better quality yield any direction on this would be very helpful i'm already a very succsful grower with the "super soil" as it is and the way Joe Blow came to making the soil i've used both recipes and prefer his over subs seems the products are easier to get a lil cheaper but if i had to buy the organic blend bags to equal 2 large bales here that'd be 300-400 just for that one product it's very expensive to live in the desert
rents reasonable but if you want something get ready to pay for it especially most of the ammendments i use i cant buy anywhere heer i have to order over phone to oregon to get them a real pain in my wallet
due to shipping
i was only thinking about adding aproximatelly a handful or 2 of each one of these products to my soil i'm more worried about the activate 80 burning my plants than anything the lil i do know about humic and fulvic acids is they can burn very badly if over used hope to hear some feed back about these products ty
