new organic gro
New member
hi im new, i just started cooking my soil, i used an organic mix, with all the nutrients dry id need plus some, plus alot of worm castings, about 3 gallons per cubic foot of soil (8 gallons.) well i hastily added bio char at a rate of 5 % without soaking it. though i plan on cooking my soil for a longer time, will this be ok? or will it rob me blind of nutrients and ruin everything. im stacked to the max in n-p-k in the mix. i used clackamus coots recipe, for the most part and added some things and altered the soil of peat moss, and in turn used roots organics original soil. help! its my first time cooking soil like this and i think i might have hopefully not messed up with the bio char. next time i will completely soak the crap out of it before hand with teas, but so far im on week 3 of composting and plan to go about a month or so. will this be ok? i just dont want that bio char to be the thing that messes me up. i still plan on added malted barley and organic basmati rice. malted barley btw, is kind of hard to get my hands on. which is why i havent added it yet.
