Hello.

I'm new to organic.

Teach me how to make a soil that does not need to be changed after each harvest, with beautiful flowers and worms, and how to fertilize such a soil.

What should I study Super Soil, Living Soil, No till ?

throw in a bag of the shit you bought last year about 10-25% is good
mix well a couple of bigger tubs will adsorb the excess

Lol. A lifetime of learning can be done. But start with coots mix. It’s super forgiving and versatile. Read teaming with microbes series.
listen cannabis science and cultivation podcast. I have a few signature threads focusing on no till snd recycled mixes. Good luck on your new endeavors!!

Is that podcast on spotify? I never thought about learning while im in the car but if spotify has a channel I could listen to while driving that would be great. It also might be wishful thinking since its a huge corp company which prob wouldnt allow such a thing...I dont know. Just thinking outloud here.

I don't see the point. My garden veggies love the spent soil and I enjoy mixing up more in the wheelbarrow... simple enough. Good black soil, sphagnum peat moss, Perlite, Worm soil, leaf mould and a little wood ash and sheep poo.

I live in a flat. And every harvest, I cover everything with soil, then I clean it up.

I want to mix it once and forget about this action for several years.

The reason is laziness, I don't want to clean and carry bags of soil to my home.

As I see it, the main issue is micronutrients. It's easy to replace N, P, and K. But just like we do, I'm sure the plants need a huge variety of minerals that will get depleted during the grow.

Your thinking about it all wrong. Properly built soil only gets better with time. Especially micro nutrient availability. First few runs are the hardest. After you used the same soil a few year things get more available with proper nutrient cycling practices.

What is 444 and 284 ?

444 and 284 are the NPK ratios for someone's favorite brands of dry fertilizer blends. Down to earth vegetable garden is 4-4-4. Down to earth Bio live is 5-4-2. Down to earth rose and flower is 4-8-4. Happy frog makes an all purpose and fruit & flower. Dr earth makes an all purpose and a flower girl blend. Any of these will work. Doesn't have to be 444 or 284 exactly.
