Hello Guys! As I grow in Thailand I simply can't find Sphagnum Peat Moss, but did find another recipe that uses coco coir in it's place, I can though find ph neutral regular peat moss here so figured I'd go with that, and remove some of the calcium in place of Langbeinite....
However I also can't find Langbeinite here! So I wondered, would a suitable replacement be Epsom salt, and 1 chemical in my whole mix... Potassium Sulfate.
The original recipe:
Build a soil/ coots mix COCO VERSION
Base mix:
1 part coco
1 part compost/castings
1 part aeration (pumice, ricehulls, perlite etc…)
Nutrients:
Per cubic foot of base mix add:
1/2 cup neem seed meal
1/2 cup crab meal or crustacean meal
1/2 cup Kelp
Minerals:
Per cubic foot of base mix add:
1 cup sul-po-mag (aka langbenite)
1 cup Gypsum
2 cups Basalt rock dust
(BTW, this is the same as the Build a soil recipe for peat, except the peat recipe uses oyster shell flour instead langbenite.)
