Hello, last winter was my first go at supersoil, I created my own recipe inspired from subcools and from the local hydrostore guy, and I got great results! This year, they were sold out of the crab and fish mix from Welcome Harvest Farm so I switched it for more canola meal (already included in the flower power mix). Anyway, I thought I would put up my recipe on the forum to have some feed back on it and also just to help the community. Who knows, maybe Subcool will be using my recipe some day! just kidding...

My New Recipe!:

2 x 3.8cu.ft. PROMIX
5 lbs Flower Power mix 4-10-4 from Welcome Harvest Farm (fish meal, bone meal, greensand, canola seed meal, langbeinite, kelp meal, rock phosphate)
2 lbs Canola meal 6-3-1
5 cups Neem cake 3-2-1
4 cups flower Guano 2-17-0
2 cups Greensand 0-1-8
2 cups Alfalfa meal
3 cups Glacial Dust Rock
About 50grams GardenPro 0-0-3 (trace elements)
30liters worm castings
2 Tbsp Humic Acid

I forgot to mix in the Epsom Salt, everything is in garbage bins now so I may add it individually when I get my pots ready or just go without.

old recipe:

  • SOIL :
    1 1/2 Bail of dirt ( 3.8 cu.ft. ) ( major component: Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss (70-75% by volume), Perlite, Dolomitic and Calcitic Limestone, wetting agent, Mycorrhizae )
    about 1.5 cu.ft. dirt from my compost


    2.5 lbs Guano ( roughly half of a 2.2kilo bag )
    5 lbs Flower Power mix from Welcome Harvest Farm 4-10-4 ( fish meal, bone meal, greensand, canola seed meal, langbeinite, kelp meal, rock phosphate )
    2.5 lbs Fish & Crab from Welcome Harvest Farm 8-5-1
    2.5 lbs Neem Cake 4-3-2
    30liters of castings worm
    2 tbsp Humic Acid​





Thanks for commenting
 
never looked at the PH, what should the ph be? I thought the ph would adjust itself when the soil is cooking... not much is different from the previous recipe, the canola meal is 6-3-1 and the fish and crab mix was 8-5-1.

I forgot to say, there is also 2 cups of alfalfa meal
 
its better to stick with the standard compost and rock composites when building a strong balanced pH soil.

your mix is interesting, but it still needs perfection, but it sounds fairly good. i think powdered oyster shell will be what you need.
 
it'll work. and sure.....ph yer soil now. lime for up, sulfur for down. 6.2-7.0, is a good range. i would also add a silica source to my mix. silica toughens a plant. DE is a decent source.
