Alright, here's a question I'd like to throw out that may be too broad for anyone to answer. It's based on the calcium and cation info Dex has been sharing on the site.
I mixed up 3 gallons of soil tonight. 3 parts Roots Organic Coco. 2 parts EWC. 2 parts Shrimp Compost. 3 parts Turface.
The shrimp compost is supposed to be a great source of calcium, so I went with that (and left out lime) in the hope of raising my calcium levels to be near the 6:1 ratio. I added the Turface and compost/ewc in the hopes of giving the mix more of a "clay" feel to increase the CE properties. I originally used 2 parts Turface, but when I finished mixing it seemed to add so much to the consistency that I added another part and mixed it in.
So I'm wondering, do you guys think this will be good enough in regards to CE, or should I add a small bit of red clay from the woods/yard? Again, it may be an unanswerable question under the circumstances, but the mix just started cooking tonight so I have plenty of time to make an addition.
Thanks. And thanks to dex for sharing the great info that led to the mix. It feels amazing in my hands and I think it's going to do wonderfully.
