Ok I have been at it since birth. Duh. I was born in my backyard in Humboldt County California and watched Marijuana become mainstream, from the bowels of society. I have used every fertilizer under the sun and i'm over it. Maxsea and all these other products ie Fox Farm, all of them. They have left my soil unhealthy and nearly useless because of all the over fertilizing. NPK is for cavemen.
But fear not. I got it dialed today. Bacteria, nematodes, protozoa, mycorrhizae. Bacteria and healthy microbes run the soil food web and if maintained properly the dirt lasts FOREVER! Done. I am using the Quantum Growth Series which is Quantum Light and Quantum HSC. They are as far as i am concerned the highest quality biofertilizer. What are you using? Please share your Biofertilzers and help spread the message of maintaing a healthy Soil Food Web and Healthy Rhizosphere! #biofertilizer

I compost my own bat and cow manure in a worm bin. The owners of the cow pasture behind my house flood there grazing fields: so the cow shit in the field provides tons of nutes, harboring a diverse food web from worms to aquatic bugs and frogs. I go out and scoop up some of that "living" water to use on my plants. I also make various teas like floral/herbal teas. Feeding NPK nutrients is merely providing the necessary substances for survival, sure you can live off of top ramen soups, but would you really love eating the same thing over and over? Bioferts are a complex food source, not only for the plants, but for the soil as well. And they are the hometown buffet for microbial activity.

Just going to spit how i keep my soil alive.

I use BIM (beneifical indeginous organisms) which consist of bactaria from bamboo- papaya -banana etc etc
Also fungi from old growth broad leaf trees. (Local)

My own
Wormcasting/compost

My own Aloe, coconut water sourced locally

Botanicals ranging from -nettle - comfrey - garlic etc etc All from my garden

Rock volcanic dust (local)

Kelp - alfalfa - crab - oyster - gypsum. (Local, except gypsum, got that at local nursery)

And my secret ingrediants
SUper sprout teas ranging from chai- barley- alfalfa
(Local, by the pound)

Recyle everything, source everything next to free.

Haha Well put. That is being awesome resourceful. You must be in a good location if you got pastures at your back!

I gotta say FLYHI that is a damn good amendment mix. kelp, alfalfa, crab, worm, and... Aloe? I never heard of aloe as an amendment but that is a nice thought. I am on board with that mix in my garden almost to the T. I use the biofertilizer to maintain bacteria populations. But Aloe brings up another question: Do our plants want to be vegetarians? I have been hearing more and more about vegan composts. I am not a vegetarian. Avid meat eater. What is to say Mary Jane isn't? Any thoughts?
