I'll be trying a modified version of the 1/1/1 Coots mix, and changing it to 40/40/20 (as online some have said they get better long term results this way, with the 20% being the compost portion, as it prevents soil compaction after a few years).

Was just wondering if I need to adjust the soil amendment ratios for the 40/40/20 mix, versus the original 1/1/1?

(40% pumice, 40% peat moss, 20% Bu's Blend and/or Worm Castings).

Here's my 1/1/1 soil amendment mix:

Base Mix (1/1/1)
10 gallons Malibu's Bu's Blend
10 gallons Canadian Sphagnum Peat moss
10 gallons Pumice (or Lava Rock, or Perlite)

Amendments
4 Cups Kelp Meal - Down to Earth
4 Cups Crab/Crustacean Meal - Down to Earth
4 Cups Malted Barley Powder - KIS Organics
2 Cups Gypsum
4-6 Cups Basalt (1.42 Liters) - KIS Organics
6-8 Cups Activated Biochar (1.9 Liters) - Buildasoil
4 Cups Oyster Shell Flower
