What do you think of my soil mix? Input appreciated.



this is for 1 cubic yard/200 gallons of soil.

13x bags Kellog's Patio Plus Organic Soil 1.5cf 70% of mix.
4 cu ft Roots Organic Perlite 30% of mix.

Kellog's Patio Plus ingredients:
Aged recycled forest products, aged rice hulls, composted poultry manure, perlite, peat moss, hydrolyzed feather meal, dehydrated poultry manure, dolomite & oyster shell limes (as pH adjusters), bat guano, kelp meal, worm castings.

3/14/18 i added:
12 cups dolomite lime (1tbsp per gal soil)
10 cup/5lb Down To Earth Neem Seed Meal (low feed rate)
8 cups Garden Safe Diatomaceous Earth (estimated guess)
Couple Drizzles Espoma liquid grow 2-2-2 (125,000,000 colony forming units!)
4 cups Evolved Habitats 82 brix Feed molasses watered in

^this is how the soil sits now outside cooking.
Im just waiting on my Down To Earth Granular Humic Acid to arrive in the next few days before i add the rest.

altogether Plan to amend it with:

12 cups dolomite lime (1tbsp per gal soil)
6 cups gypsum (estimated, should i use more/less?)
10 cup/5lb Down To Earth Neem Seed Meal (low feed rate)
8 cups Garden Safe Diatomaceous Earth (estimated guess)
2 cup/1lb Down To Earth Kelp Meal (low feed rate)
2 cups/1lb Down To Earth Granular Humic Acid (low feed rate)
1.5 cup/1lb Down To Earth Azomite Powder (high feed rate)
30 teaspoon Roots Organic Uprising Bloom (1/2 strength feed rate like when using with Uprising Foundation)
Couple Drizzles Espoma liquid grow 2-2-2 (125,000,000 colony forming units!)
4 cups Evolved Habitats 82 brix Feed molasses watered in

xet is on a distinguished road
Just add water

Are you looking for more things to consider?

Sea 90 or Pink Salt
Yeast

Boogie Brew open sources their recipe, https://www.boogiebrew.net/open-source-compost-tea/

It is good to buy extra meals to produce tea for feed/foliar throughout the cycle unless you are going super-soil and adding water only

Most algae sources are a "complete food." It is easy to go nuts on various algae online from different oceans (red, brown, blue-green, green)

If you live near a beach go collect free seaweed on the shore and compost that into a soil and that is all you will ever need.

i just mix soil outside on a big tarp usually, half of this soil is recycled from my 100 gallon plant i grew last year.

Pink salt is an awesome idea for trace minerals, thanks. ive been trying to avoid ocean based feeds.
(too bad no one raises indoor Ascophyllum nodosum kelp right?)

Its funny you mentioned yeast, it was the first time i had seen it mentioned for gardening.
Shortly after when i posted the picture of the soil on the tarp i remembered there was some green algae growing in it. So i looked up to see if it was harmful and came across an article on bio fertilizers like yeast and algae and the benefits.
