I saw the greenthumb soil kits recently. Looked at the address and it's not far up the coast from me. you can go in and mix your own from all the amendments and chuck it all in your car and head off. Knocks a decent whack off the cost too

There's a few places like OGS and Dr G.T and they all look like good products but for me they are all overpriced and that's without adding postage

They are a bit but it's pretty convenient and I don't need to get massive bags of each at the moment. Next season is a different story though

at this point i think ill be either using equal parts castings airation and coco leting it sit for a few weeks and that will be my base maybe somthing to balence ph but i think i d be better of making teas or somthing for feeds ill defanetly ill probly be better off going with those premade things dr greenthumb makes and cuting wat thay say may probebly be around 100 all together but growing in doors it would last a bit im defenetly gunna be using that soil in the tumbler tho ill prob buy some bene bugs incase or maybe just brew up a te to inoculate it i think all the microbes that cuse the heat ar gone cuse it never heated up and all the good mycrobes ar daed cuse it got way to hot from the sun hitting it i might grm a free seed i got from gyo in a jiffy and see how it goas if i get bugs or not ill wait till its a bit warmer at night tho and do it in the shed away from the other plants lol

Not picking on OGS or any of the others but $15a kg for alfalfa meal,$25kg of oyster shell flour,$15kg for kelp meal,$12kg malted barley and $6kg for gypsum ? I bought a 25kg bale of lucerne(alfalfa)chaff for $25,$6kg for top grade kelp meal both from a rural supplies store ,made 10kg of oyster shell flour in about 2 hours for $0,$6kg malted barley from a home brew shop and gypsum costs under $2 a kg if I bought all my stuff from them I would have spent about $5 grand or more just to do 15 plants

my next door neighbour is an oyster farmer and said I can have literally tonnes of shell if I can be fucked grabbing it from the co-op
