Hi (y)all,
I just picked up some bat guano(7-3-1) and high phosphorus seabird guano(0-11-0). In the past I've used chicken or turkey based pelletized fertilizers and I am currently feeding my plants nutri-rich pellets which have an NPK value of 4-3-2.
I'm trying to find a good way to apply these new(to me) powdered guano fertilizers that are pretty notorious for causing problems if not used properly.
This is what is in my mainly soil-less medium(s) per 100 gallon pot:
70% pro mix mycorhizae
20% black gold potting soil
5% additional perlite
8 cups glacial rock dust
15 cups activated bio-char
6 cups fish bone meal(5-16-0)
10 cups chicken compost(3-2-2)
10 cups nutri-rich(4-3-2) pellets
1 cup kelzyne
The mix is incredible light and nearly impossible to compact which was intentional. On the other side of the coin, it seems like a pretty lean mix so I plan on needing to top dress and foliar feed weekly at least.
I don't want to leave out information, and I'm hoping somebody can help advise. Is it a bad idea to use the fossilized seabird guano when I've got decent amounts of slow release phosphorus with the fish bone meal already present?
