This stuff is awesome, no burning, plant clones right in and go full season with this stuff. ... Each batch comes with testing analysis from two different labs to guarantee the contents are balanced. If its not within Albrecht ratios it doesnt get sold..
i used rare earth's chicken compost last year and oly mountain fish compost this year. I did have them mix in a tote of Malibu compost though. If you are going with rare earth don't wait until the last minute, they were pretty backed up last year i thinkHey shcrews that sounds like just what im looking for. Something a lot cheaper that still does well. You had some pretty amazing results with your mix too. I was hoping to be able order from rare earth since its pretty close to me and i like to support local business.
I need to get up there and talk about different options. I figure i could replace the big worm castings and malibu with different options.
getting my old dirt tested in january. I used Fruit Growers Lab last year i think, should i use Logan this time?Edit...we will see schrews logan before long. That will be real world

Orech...off topic but I found nova crop controls tomato recommends for sap nitrate; 500-1000 ppm in young leaf and 3000-4000 in old leaf
Could be the last puzzle piece to pm bulletproof plants
Orechron- Thank's for that great soil recipe.
Now what if i were to just have 1/3 of my mix worm castings in something like orechrons, wouldn't that make the cation holding capacity and water retention better? I Understand this is not really the most cost effective. The only way i would even think about doing that is if something like unco brand castings could be used. I was quoted 22k for 84 yards delivered. The remaining 16 yards could be oly mountain or some other compost- and i would think that the K would be low enough. I was also quoted 6.2k for just over 100 yards of Alaska Peat brand peat moss delivered. I'm going to try and send out some test's on the unco castings next week.
I am considering mixing all of this myself- i know it sounds crazy, but its possible. It would probably take me 2 weeks of backbreaking work, but its possible. Its alot easier than building the pyramids in egypt my whole life- thank god i wasnt born in that time period. I'm not sure what the yard charges for mixing but my guess is 40$ a yard or so? Thats 12k i could save on a 300yard order. The other issue is that by ordering from a yard i have to use what they have in stock already like orechron says.
Bagged soils can get expensive but many commercial mixes are not.
The only thing that perlite has in common with wood chips is aeration. I was briefly thinking about subbing chips for perlite one year but didn't because wood is going to start to decompose (this uses up N in the soil) and perlite won't. Would've been much cheaper but there was no way to know how much N to put in to satisfy plant growth and that much decomposition at the same time.
