https://forum.grasscity.com/threads/easy-organic-soil-mix-for-beginners.1116550/ I used this Organic soil recipee about a week ago. Turning it over in plastic tubs every couple days and keeping it moist. It looks rich and dark and hardly smells at all now. I'm a newbie and Organic seems good for personal medical grow .

I'm not sure where you sourced your ingredients, but feed stores are a great resource for large bags of organic kelp, alfalfa, rock dusts, etc and potters stores are good for mineral rich clays. Sourcing from these places will save you lots of cash, while giving you what's probably a lifetime supply of these ingredients

Yes finding all the ingredients for organic oil mix is like a scavenger hunt. The lime I got at a tractor supply store. I asked about kelp but ended up paying $20 for small box of kelp meal at a grow store. Finding the earthworm castings on Craig's list helped tho. Granite rock dust was cheap at Lowes. And found sunshine Peat moss and plant tone organic fertilizer at Home Depot.

Why not just use ProMix organic line? It's high quality and you don't have to drive around to different stores for separate ingredients.

You still need to drive around for your nutes if using promix, many people use promix as a base and add to it.
