Is this soil dank?? my own mix

mix a bag of mg potting mix with my native soil (good soil) and some peatmoss, vercumlite, and my horse manur.


Is that good or is that too hot.? to much nutes in the soil?

Guaranteed with the horse manure its dank.

you think my soil wont have to much nutes do you.?

mmmm im not so sure about that mix to be honest... i personally would not use it but i dont know it may work really well

I would standby on the manure until you got your plant growing nice and strong and spread some on the top soil when they are a couple feet tall.

i would go with fox farm ocean forest.... you can add amendments to it to make it better but its not necessary

do not get MG soil ... all their products (except organic) have their shit fertilizer in it .. this year my soil will be a sphagnum peat moss mix, perlite, dolomite lime, bat guano, and native top soil... and that should do the trick with a weekly feeding of nutrients

Yeah, the mixture sounds 20% good. Don't use the MG shit, and your up to 70% good. Horse manure has to be cured/ not green. If it's old, 20% would be cool, if shit can be cool. Gil., the Master Gardeners has found out within the last 6 months that peat moss is "anti-microbial". I bought the high dollar long cut, Mossers Peat Moss last season. I will not use it anymore. For water retention, etc, drag your hand through a warm farm. That soil will get your flag heading north, for sure. Good, live soil will do better than peat, anyway. See concept420.com I wish I had found that 2 years ago.

it's usually not all peat moss in my mix maybe about 30% this year .. gives good aeration in soil .. drag my hand through a warm farm? what does that mean?

The soil from the 24/7 cultivation of the worms is so awesome that you'll never want peat again. I used only 20% peat also. But if peat deletes the microbial growth, plus what the soil looks & feels like after the worms have done their work, it's a big difference. That's all I'm saying.

well i dont think i have that type of soil around here .. if so .. i'd probably buy it ... as of right now im going with peat moss (plus it's 2 5.8 cu/ft compressed bales that are free) ... Use the others for flower pots.. but yeah its all i got as of now .. if i can find something better i will

Cool. Next Oct., I will push the worm farms. In the meantime, do you use molasses, seaweed, fish emulsion, greensand, Epsom salt & whole ground corn meal. This is cheap, compared to bat shit. People buy "Worm Casting". That's the job I want, picking out worm shit from dirt. It's really worm dirt. But it's the highest nutritional soil known to mankind. MG people can't match this, or grow a man-made plant. I just wish you had some of the worm dirt I have. That's all.

i use molasses .. i used blood and bone meal last year and animals dug up my plants ... I will look for castings this year ... but how would you change my soil of this ... Peat moss, perlite, native top soil, lime, bat guano? worm casting, perlite, native top soil, lime?

What about this low budget mix,

native soil, handfull of peatmoss, perlite, lime, lil bit of blood and bone meal

have like 10 holes of that.?

So does my horse manur need to be dry.? Fresh horse shit is dark brown and in clumps, should i get the stuff thats light brown and dust like? haha

horse manure is tricky .. it may burn your plants because it should be composted first .. like a big pile of it mixed with hay and with some moisture .. gets compacted .. neighbor has some .. but you can use cow's right from the get go ... it's always soupy too ... u might be able to use the dry stuff.. just add water haha ..
