ive used per cubic foot

1 cup bloodmeal
1 cup bonemeal
1/2 cup kelp

ive only used composted steer manure before and off the top of my head i used it as 20% of the volume of soil. i definitely prefer compost or worm castings over manure though. if you dont mind me asking, is this outdoor grow for next year?

yes you need to let it sit for a few weeks. also dont forget the lime. r u growing in a greenhouse or tropical climate? just wondering because the growing season for outdoors is coming to an end for most people.

the lime buffers the ph so you dont have to worry about it. it also adds calcium and magnesium. i use 1 cup per cubic foot in all my soil mixes. make sure to use dolomite or agricultural lime. stay away from hydrated lime.
