i havent read the thread you suggested, but im glad to finally see someone speak up about this "super soil".......I have nothing against Sub or his methods, but to be frank buying a pre-existing soil and mixing it with stuff is not very "super".....The point of making a soil is to cut out the big name companies and know whats growing your herb...Mix your own! dont buy a bag of blank blank and mix perlite into it.......but to answer your question you can always topdress with plenty of worm castings or kelp meal, or make a tea with either to give your soil a little refresher to liven it up.It most likely wont be cost and time effective. I mean you are going to be paying for electricity and time and energy spent on it. In my opinion you should get more plants and not do an experiment, unless you really really want too. And I personally wouldn't use super soil. You can accomplish a great soil, a lot cheaper then that soil. Read the ROLS thread at the top of the Organic Section.
Super soil or no - you know what amendments are going into the recipe and why so if you are wanting to stay close, you could mix a small batch, cook it, and test it. Most universities have an ag or gardening program that will test your soil for nearly anything you want. nutrient filled bacteria are the name of the game and the conditions for a healthy fungi web need to be established and maintained.You don't necessarily have to buy expensive bagged Roots or Happy Frog soil either, they are just well marketed. Check your local landscaping company, you'll find non-manure compost around $25/cu. yard and it will be of exceedingly high quality. Go find a local stream or forest and fill up a 5 gallon pale of old undisturbed healthy looking soil for some nice variety if it's available to you, or even just your backyard from a healthy looking patch.. Pickup a big bag of rice hulls, cheap cheap cheap. All the other ingredients can be found in large quantities for cheap at farm/feed/landscape stores outside of big cities. These are ingredients farmers, gardeners, and greenhouses have used to treat and fix soil problems for years and are easily acquired in bulk. If you pay attention to the ingredients and their sources you can avoid the "hydro shop" brands. Anything you buy whole (ie kelp) is generally superior to a pre-bottled diluted variety and infinitely more cost effective.Also - Espoma anything. Garden-tone is my favorite for mixing small batches for potted veggies.. A top dress will have a thick myco web in a day or two. Good stuff.Good luck on your soil!And I appreciate the input guys I'll definitely look into that thread and diy soils but I still want to know specifically about sub's soil. Anyone out there know?
Tossing it outside in my garden is reusing it but I know what you mean. Peace brotherTossing soil is tossing soil. How many other crops are grown in disposable soil? None.
Plus, recycled soil is better on all fronts.
