Hola folks !!

I am adding some organics to my plot this year on top of my regular feeding with nutes. Im just not sure how much to add in each hole. So i thought i would ask my fellow gardeners.
I have composted pig manure (not pellets), worm castings, promix and lime. In the past Ive just used a mix of 50% promix and 50% of the soil from the hole and fed with heavy harvest but this year i want to add some organics.
My holes are 2 feet deep x 2 feet wide. I figure a cup of lime like always but I'm unsure how much of the castings and manure i should use.

Any suggestions or help would be great !!

as far as the castings go you can never put to much if you had 30% in your mix it would still be benneficial. ive never used pig manure but have used horse and cow manure many times. aged three years i would add 10-15%, or more when its well composted it will not burn your plants. i believe cow manure straight is around 8% nitrogen by volume, pig manure cannot be much differant? then again thats just my guess maybe someone else has used it. just make sure its well composted if it has the consistancy of soil im sure you can add a bunch. but like i said about the castings as much as you can afford ive seen guys grow in straight castings. im a believer in worm castings been using them for years.
