Does a super soil need to be open to breathe, while cooking?
I'm about to make my first batch, and can I put it back into the 50L plastic soil bag and peg it closed - or should I put it into a big fabric pot etc.

so if alfalfa meal is a medium release organic fertilizer available over 3 to 6 months

how is it available quickly in this liquid fertilizer?

ah..ok so maybe its starting to sink in

so its more like a bottled tea concentrate... but wouldn't that become anaerobic? does it have preservatives?

I would love to stop using calmag+ altogether but I guess not only am I a creature of habit I also want my plants to stay happy & healthy. They are so green that I'm skeptical of changing my routine. I have to ask what kind of water source do you use?
It's my understanding that if you use water sources that do not contain macros like RO or distilled then you also need a soluble form of cal/mag to help absorb the other nutrients from the soil. I amend with gypsum, D-lime, and crushed oyster shell among other things to my recycling mix plus add eggshells to the EWC from my worm bin. Am I overkilling it? I ask because I'm getting to the end of a bottle and don't want to order it again if I don't have to.
