I hope somebody have the time to help me. I am from Colombia and i want to grow with super soil, i read a lot about it and decided to start with the mix, i couldn´t find all the ingredients in my country so i decided to try to use all the ingredients that i could find plus the ingredients that i thought that can help to improve the mix.

Here is the mix that i am cooking right now.

For my base soil i used this:

Compost #1
Composition:
Nitrógeno total (N): 1.8%
Fosforo total (P2O5): 2.6%
Potasio soluble en agua (K2O): 3.3%
Calcio (CaO): 2.0%
Magnesio (MgO): 0.5%
Compost #2

this one is made with chicken manure, pork manure, mushrooms compost, i added one picture with its composition:

i mixed this 2 compost with some garden soil, without any nutrients, i think you call this soiless, and i also added peat, coco fiber and perlite to the mix.

The Super Soil mix that i am using have these ingredients:

Vermiculite
Humus
Bone meal
Blood meal
Epsom salt
humic acid.

I just wanted to share it with you and see what coments or suggestions you have. I am tired of growing medicine with chemicals and i am really interested in growing high quality organic medicine, i have some VORTEX seeds and i will grow them in this mix, i will also grow some of them outdoors, 12/12 from seed.
Please share everything that you think about my mix.

Thank you for reading and answering, sorry for my really bad english.
Un abrazo,
Pablo.

would really try to source azomite! I think its REALLY important. forgot to add it to one batch of supersoil and my density and frostyness was wayyy down (all other things being equal as much as I could).

also, potash seems a bit high in that compost, but if you cut it with soiless you might be okay?

Both composts have minerals, in little quantities but they have them. Azomite was imposible to found in my country, i tried very hard to get it but it was imposible.
Thanks for the help

You can order everything that is needed to complete the recipe right off of amazon and they ship to Colombia. If you don't have a debit/credit card you can send them the money.. Looks like you definitely need azomite and dolomite lime... Good luck

At least try to get some limestone. It will help make the other amendments your adding more accessible to the plants.

You will notice a huge difference.

Buenas GrenColombia, es un placer encontrarme otro colombiche , yo soy de pereira pero vivo en la usa, un placer ver otro colombiano en el foro... una pregunta, porque no utilizas la tierra de colombia para sembrar? Esa tierra es bien fertil y todo lo que en ella se siembra crece..???
