I just attempted to make some soil based on Revs soil guide as closely as i could. I wasnt able to obtain all of the ingredients, but i do have quiet a few. My only concern is that i may be missing a few vital sources of nutrients by missing a few amendments.
Heres the soil recipe i put together, what would you change or do differently?
3 gal of Roots Organic soil
1.5 gal perlite
1.5 gal earthworm casting
3/4c ground oyster
3/4c dolomite
3/4c humic acid
3/4c alfalfa meal
1/4c blood meal
1/4c bat guano
Alfalfa Meal- 2% N; 1% P; 1% K
Bat Guano- 10% N; 3% P; 1% K
Bone Meal- 3% N; 15%
My main concern is the lack of potassium. Thoughts or concerns?
Im preparing a soil test from a kit i bought earlier. Will probably test the soil 2x a week for 2 weeks to see how the amounts of available nutrients change after i applied some distilled water to the soil.
Nice to meet you all by the way
