Hello everyone, I am new here and growing for 5 years outdoors in pots. I have been using BX with few problems with liquid nutes. but I find it tedious.
I am trying to make it easier with adding other amendments in the promix so i don't have to use as many nutes. I was wondering if anybody has advice.
to make mixing easier, I want to start with the HP CC 3.8cu and need advice on the qty's of amendments. I did see all the recipes but i don't want to cook any soil. I have read others using BX and adding sheep manure, ewc. I am hoping for something similar because of the limited items I can acquire.
a couple years back I bought 1 yard of mushroom compost and even with lots of perlite it was really thick. I had a so so harvest.I still have some but I am weary of adding it to the promix. I was also looking at shrimp compost. any ideas? thanks again
here is a mix of different soils and amendments to add to pro-mix HP CC. growing outdoors with smart pots.
