I have some extra 2 cu ft bags of Terracraft Potting Soil mix that I want to amend and use for an organic crop. I have some mycorrhizal fungi, yucca meal, kelp meal, bone meal, diatomaceous earth, oyster shell, humus and lime that I want to introduce to the soil. Anybody know how much of each I should be using per a 2 cu ft bag? I understand that there are easier ways to do this but I have the time and resources to experiment, and that's just what I want to do with this soil :D. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
 
Do a ph slurry test first,then you'll know if you need lime.or OSF
Re-amending is approx 25% of initial feed.So typically 25% of 3 cups food per cuft (7.5g)

Be careful with bone meal,your soil may have enough P, not good to add more.
Cant go wrong with kelp, DE,compost.
 
I wouldn't add much as that soil already has feather, alfalfa, kelp, and bone meal in it along with bat and seabird guano.

Pay attention to the plants, I once had a grower tell me that by the time we see a deficiency that it is 2 weeks along in being hungry for what we are seeing. So with organic grows or atleast with dry amendments.... you gotta be johnny on the spot with the right diagnosis and right food. But once you get it dialed in.. your golden
