SO.
I just got ripped on some wonderful not quite schwag, and I am mizing soil today. I have left out bone meal and left out azomite. My plan is to put them in teabags and drop them into my containers. I'm hoping to imitate a natural source of either, and maybe give certain bone meal or azomite loving microbes a chance to manage a distinct sphere to their liking. I also am hoping to really give the mycorrhizae question a little bit of data.
15 quarts peat (i may have put 18 by mistake)
9 quarts perlite
6 quarts kelp and shrimp compost
some wormcastings and coco (about a qt and a half in this cubic foot)
2.25 cups biotone
1 cup kelp meal
some bokashi bran
1/2 cup blood meal
a cup and a third dolomite lime
1/2 cup gypsum
wetted with a homemade EWC slurry (no time for tea) enriched with barley malt (out of molasses).
It's going to sit for about a month I think.
comments? questions? info?
