My guide has a good soil mix and tea recipes and some simple tips for success. And I answer questions if you have any.

I have had success with this mix I created over the past few years.
17 gallons Coco coir (5kg brick)
5 gallons Earth Worm Castings
5 gallons sphagnum peat moss
5 gallons rice hulls
5 cups gypsum
3 cups crab meal
3 cups kelp meal
3 cup soybean meal
6 cups bone char
1 ½ cups dolomitic lime
2 cups food grade Diatomaceous Earth
2 cups pine wood shavings
In veg regular Fish, EM-1, humic fulvic, liquid kelp
Foliar water soluble calcium/phos at flower sites until week 1-2,
flower. Water molasses.
Here is a soil test to go with this mix. The only change was the use of sea-90, menafee humates and rock phos in the mix that was tested and a decrease in bone char by three cups.
The sea-90 should have been preflushed prior to soil test but disregard the sodium reading.
I also added some turkey blood for iron because it seemed low but you could probably drop a nail in the soil as long as it wasnt galvanized..

North Atlantic kelp is the best from what I hear but if you are in clean water just make sure you rinse it well. I get mine at Fedco Organic supply (posted above) but I believe they are supplied by this place for their dry kelp at least.

www.organicallydone.com is my go to, being a Michigander I am partial to them as they are a Michigan company. They also source quality organic products.
www.kelp4less.com is also popular among mail order types.

I posted this elsewhere but, If you want to use just water to irrigate your crops, and get complete nutrition for your plants then try this.
50% Seasoil mixed with 50% Promix or Sunshine, and Doloprill Lime topdressing.
http://www.seasoil.com/about.html Use as a topdressing or mix in by 50% with any other (cheap) bulk soil.
http://www.naturesintent.com/dolopril Use as topdressing, apply 30ml of Doloprill per gallon of soil
The most unbelievable growth results I have ever seen have come from using Seasoil and Doloprill lime. It works on any garden; everybody gets the same super-boost in growth, indoors and outdoors and with any plant or crop when using Seasoil.
Seasoil has a huge, complete nutritional charge and its label clearly lists the amounts of all 13 essential minerals present. It also is full of PGPR - plant growth promoting rhizobacteria - as tested by a university in Canada.
The Doloprill adds a little more Calcium and Magnesium and adjusts pH every time you water. Plants grow like they are on steroids when Seasoil is around - super enhanced stem and leaf sizes, and roots grow like crazy! After 25 years as a horticulturist I just came across it in 2014, and nothing I've tried before has worked so well.
I attached a picture of the way roots come up and out of the Seasoil when you use it as a top dressing. Has anyone ever seen that before?! It's simple with Seasoil, when roots get so excited about the Seasoil topdressing, the whole plant goes nuts too!

easiest outdoors water only;
fermented kitchen scraps in bokashi, average medium sized plant can eat 2.5 gallons of FKG in a raised bed. this can potentially only cost you a bottle of EM1 and molasses to make new bottles. bokashi substrate can be foraged for or recycled from restaurant wastes like coffee shop grinds.

It's a myth!! ^ a lack of P induces upper root growth so it must be lacking P
(no tillers logic)I wanna try dat bokashi & em's. c-c-composites for a straight vertical learning curve oh yes
