I recently completed my first organic soil grow and was generally happy with the results. I learned a lot but there were a few times when I ran into deficiencies and found myself guessing at solutions way too often which I think made things worse. I was using pre-mixed soil and wasn't 100% sure of the recipe.
This time around, I've pre-mixed my own soil and sent it to the lab. Received the results today but I'm a little confused on how to interpret them. All of my levels scored "Very High" on the lab's result key, so I guess that's a good thing.
Looking for your expert opinions...Any soil scientists want to take a look and offer their advice on if I need any amendments or adjusting - or am i ready to go? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
My recipe:
5.0 parts Pro-Mix BX
2.0 parts Local Leaf Compost
1.0 part Local EWC
1.0 part FoxFarm Ocean Forest
1.0 part Pumice
Added 1.5 cups/10 gal of 4-8-4 dry blend (fish bone/feather/kelp meal, rock phosphate, KMag, greensand, basalt, glacial dust)
Note: There is NO dolomite lime added to this mix - yet.
Here are the soil results:
