So guys I'm done for a couple of months all my soil is out on the veggies and I'm going to be making a new batch. I am going to list the products I used this past year, my soil was a little hot this year as far as P goes. The rest seemed Ok (Except for the biker kush which showed some really bad clawing), but I am sure adjustments can be made. So here it goes.
3 cups Dolomite Lime
4 Cups Blood Meal
4 Cups Bone Meal
1 20lb bag of worm castings
1 Small container (350 grams) Of Organic seaweed mix 4-3-7 (https://www.rona.ca/en/seaweed-fertilizer-68905001--1)
1 Cup of Fish Emulsion sprayed on with a pump sprayer
.5 cup -1 cup epson salts
Tbsp Molasses Also sprayed on and stirred in
Also added a very small amount of Gro-tek Silica to the spray
4 or 8 litres of Perlite, forget how much I think 4 sounds right.
So the Soil I added this all to is
1 Bag of Promix All purpose (http://www.rona.ca/en/soil---all-purpose-soil-48545014--1#zoom)
1 Bag cheap Potting soil (http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/premier-potting-soil-25-l-0594711p.html)
So 53 litres of soil/soilless mix + 20 litres of castings
I reammended for the second run with this soil I added mainly Alfalfa meal.and some tea.
So what mistakes did I make with my first organic soil. What should I do to improve my results this upcoming season, I have lots of ammendments left.
Neem and Crab meals and better compost/soil are my top priorities.
Please keep in mind I am in Canada and getting certain amendments shipped costs way more then it's worth. So I'm trying to use basic stuff I can get at my local hydro store/home depot/ other big box stores.
