Soil mix for beginner

I have
Coco
Worm castings
Blood, fish and bone
Composted leaves and grass
Lime
Epsom salts
Biobizz grow/bloom 1L
Liquid seaweed

Can i make a decent soil that doesnt need standing with this, without buying any additional things? Im trying to grow 20 plants outside.

Of course ya can. Mix everything up in proper ratios and you'll have some nice organic dank.

I'd reccomend throwing out the biobizz as nothing with a label works well with living soil, some myco and catalyst are an exception.

The ewc blood bone and seaweed would certainly be enough for npk IMO.

The lime would carry your calmag throug flowering.

You're set

Everything ive read says you should leave the soil mix for a few weeks before using it or risk burning but I don't think I can do that as it's nearly august now. So could i apply the bone as a tea instead

Finally if this was you what proportions would you use?
Im guessing for 42 gallons
1 part castings
1 part leaf compost
2 parts coco
A bit of sawdust
2 cups lime
2 oz humic acid


Thanks

just remember to balance your fresh water to 6.0 when using coco

Yes let the mix cook for a month or so at minimum, anything under will probably cause burn... No, you can't make bone meal tea, it has to be put into the soil to be properly broken down and that takes about 2 weeks to do so. If looking for a high P source get some Jamaican bat guano, it's 0-10-0 and can easily be made into a tea, it's pretty hot stuff, use sparingly.

To answer you honestly No, I wouldn't mix that up.you need to simplify. I'm not a coco hater but it works better for me when using bottled synths (which I don't do anymore.)

I'd trade the coco out for some good ol' fashioned peat moss. It'll go..

1part peat moss
1part perlite
1 part earth worm castings

1 cup lime per 1.5 cu foot of mix.

Water with a alfalfa/ kelp tea and you're golden.

But this will kill his precious microbes he's spending a month trying to get established?

Are you implying pH'ing your organic soil?



Just sayin,
P-

My worm castings got ripped off and since i cant get any more atm I ended up with some batmix (dunno if its organic) my personal lesson from this is if you're a beginner KISS

Im still gonna try making some teas though.

But I have to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who replied because it's so helpful to have the more experience guys giving noobs like me a leg up.
