I will be getting ready soon to mix my soil and dig my holes for my outdoor grow this spring. This will be my first grow and I want to make sure I havent left anything out of my soil mix. My native soil is quite sandy so I will be mixing one part native soil, with one part composted cow manure, and one part topsoil. In other holes I will be mixing two parts composted cow manure, with two parts coco coir, and one part native soil. I'm not sure if i should mix any perlite in with the soil since my native soil is already pretty sandy, does anyone have experience working with sandy soils?
My holes will be approximately 1.5ft deep with a 1ft radius. I will add 1/2 cup mexican bat guano (for nitrogen source), 1/4 cup peruvian seabird guano (for nitrogen and phosphorus source), 1/2 cup of kelp meal (for nitrogen,potassium, and trace elements), 1/2 cup greensand (for phosphorus and potassium), and 1/4 cup of dry molasses (for potassium and to feed microorganisms). I will also add lime and epsom salts if necessary to balance ph and add magnesium.
I will supplement feeding with a veg tea made from mexican bat guano, worm castings, liquid kelp, and molasses. For flowering food I've chosen to use budswel which I will also make into a tea and add molasses and liquid kelp.
Does this recipe sound alright, and does anyone have an idea how long the initial fertilizer i add in the holes will feed my plants for? thank you
