I’m having trouble finding the site for whatever reason, could you link me my friend?Hehehehehe, ima let you in on a little secret, most ingrediants from bas was thru concentrates. How do I know? I work at concentrates
I didn’t see it under compost tab, even just the Oly compost is 10$ a cu Ft compared to like 25. I wonder why theirs is so pricey.
BAS probably includes free shipping, and Concentrates doesn't.
Hell no it’s not free shipping either, must just be stupid expensive due to them having the BAS name. Thanks for showing me this man. Anything else from you guys you recommend?
It would be 50$ for 2 cu ft and 50$ for shipping lol...
Actually it’s just too expensive to ship compost at all it looks like, holy shit.
Well Concentrates rips you off on shipping I see. $51.66 shipping from Concentrates, $15.67 shipping from BAS.
Hahaha. Ya, well it's $117.92 from Concentrates for 2 cu ft bags.
I know I thought BAS was expensive, but I guess it’s average or idk. I had compost shipped before and don’t remember it costing that much. Trying to look locally I guess. Everything from BAS is solid it’s just the shipping on heavy stuff it looks like.
Thanks for telling me all that. I grew a soso living soil a few years ago, so trying to figure out what I should do again and that helps.I mixed up a batch of coots mix soil.. Coots Mix Recipe. Simple to do. Lava rock for aeration, bale of peat moss from lowes/home depot, ewc's from a local worm farm, compost from a local landscape supply. Most ammendments ordered from Amazon, Down to Earth brand. I did order a few things from BAS. Agsil 16H, Aloe flakes, Big 6 Micronutrients, and Fulvic Acid. I mixed up about 10 cu ft, but ended up adding an extra cu ft of perlite to my mix. Mixed it all together and planted a cover crop on it to get the soil life going. Water using coots watering schedule. Plain Water. Malted Barley Powder/Agsil/fulvic acid/aloe. Plain water. Neem Kelp Top Dressing or Tea. Plain Water. Coconut water. Start cycle over. Once you mix the soil, go ahead and start watering with this schedule. Thats how I've been doing it, plants are loving it
Concentrates haves a ipm mix you can buy by the pound. Has a variety of cover crops like medium red clover, crimson clover, California poppyseed, about 12 different varieties in that mix.
Boy you spoiled having that locally. ( ;
Quarter yard was the smallest I could get, but I think I got closer to a yard. Dude is in a giant machine with a huge bucket, he isn't getting out to measure my pint sized scoop. It was less than $20. Had a good look and smell, but who really knows. Also search for "black leaf mold". We've got a few people selling it around here.
I just started adding langbeinite (sul-po-mag) to some top dressing mixes. I don't know how much they can handle at a time so I'm starting slow.Here's the ammendments I used
Neem/Karanja
Gypsum
Oyster Shell
Kelp
Basalt
I also grabbed some Langbeinite for flower. I mixed it into my 10 gallon pots at their final transplant right before flowering. My last grow in a different organic soil had a potassium deficiency around week 4 or 5, so I was hoping to be a little more proactive.
Langbeinite
Ive only been using this soil around a month, but the plants are growing vigorously. Im pretty new to this whole growing thing, these plants are only my 4th grow. The only reason I'm comfortable recommending this soil mixture and watering schedule is because Coots is pretty well respected, and so many people have successfully used this mixture as a base to build some great soils. I liked having a recipe from the man himself. Everyone and everywhere is going to be a little different, but this seems like a great place to start. Coots mix is based off the Cornell mix I believe it is, been used for a long time. Good luck, its all a learning process, but a very enjoyable one
Yeah im not sure what they can handle
I mixed up a couple tablespoons when I was amending the soil for the final pot. The box recommended 1-2 tsp per gallon for established container plants. I figured I would do about half that, since agsil has potassium in it as well. Ill let you know how it works out.
