Tnx for your time ,this is the analysis, sorry its not clear but readableWhat is the analysis of the guano, and various composts? Are they already mixed together?
To mix them, get a tarp. Measure out 23 L of peat and 7 L of perlite, then add however much of the nutrient-bearing additives you intend to add. I would also add some dolomite or other limestone (if finely ground, about 100 ml might work, but you have to check pH after mixing).
To mix, pull up one side of the tarp and tumble the soil materials together. When you get as close to the other side of the tarp with the pile of materials as you feel comfortable, go to the other side of the tarp and pull it up, tumbling the soil in the other direction. Do it from other directions, as well, until you are convinced the soil is mixed well.
Other than that, you can build something, using an oil drum (a clean one) so you can put materials in the drum and hand crank it to tumble and mix. I prefer not to explain what I'm doing to my neighbors, though.
I am very appreciated for your precious info and time I ll be in touch and send you the NPKratio of others,onelove.Organic soil is kinda like cooking - there's more than way to skin a cat... have a look if your stuff has any NPK info to understand what each ingredient is gonna bring to the mix.... Not too familiar with auto's but in general you want to start your seedlings in a 'plain mix' (e.g. Biobizz light mix - or seedling mixes) to avoid overwhelming (burning) your plants with all the nutrients...
Check this link below as well as the other sticky threads for more info about what your bringing....
Post your Organic Soil Mix
Hey everyone I've seen a couple threads with different soil mixes in them and I was thinking It might not be a bad idea to compile them into this thread. I'm also interested to see what mixes everyone is working with. So here goes this is my soil mix I've been messing around with lately. Soil...www.thcfarmer.com
I'm no expert and only recently made my first soil mix but from the extensive reading I've done I would advise as follows for your ingredients:
Base:
1/3 peatmoss
1/3 perlite
1/3 compost (not sure how 'hot' your manure compost) maybe mix your manure compost with EWC (earthworm castings) at a ratio of 1:1
Amendments: (per cubic foot)
1/2cup Bat guano (most often this will be high in P) 1
1/2cup Seabird guano (high N) - not sure what you have hear - if its a guano enriched compost or if its just straight guano
1/2 cup bloodmeal (I'm not sure but this one may be considered 'hot' and you'd need to mix this into your soil and let it 'cook' for a few weeks - basically it has to be broken down a bit before planted in) - hopefully some experts can confirm or correct me on this one
I found this page quite informative as well:

The ratio of guano bat is 2/ 5 /1.14I am very appreciated for your precious info and time I ll be in touch and send you the NPKratio of others,onelove.
Yes you are correct my bad. I have never used guano in the 3rds mix because it is way too expensive however after looking it up you are correct guano is hotter than the manure I use. I use manure in the 1/3 mix all the time I have never burnt my plants with that ratio. I just honestly have not had any desire to change my current blend. In the past I have purchased really expensive high end fertilizers kelp and all that shit and personally just have not seen any huge extra benefit that outweighs the added cost. Why pay many times more for something that may only increase overall quality by a marginal level? Store bought cow manure in the big bag not fresh green stuff. I grow mad sparkly trichomes in regular cow shit fellas. I mean of course if you already bought guano use it Im sure its great! Just saying may not be necessary. I'm just a cheap ass I grow a lot of plants and the old school shit still gets it done. Like this...You must mean compost? Using guano as a thirds mix in a media would be to hot, guano is specifically bat or seabird poop. any bird poop would be way way to hot, birds consume grains, bugs, and fish, thats why their poop is so loaded with nutrition, unlike cows or horses who eat grasses making a less hot poop. Cow and horse can still burn your plants when used too fresh.
And for the best bang for your buck for aeration is lava rock hand crushed will be cheap and give you a nice cup of course basalt dust. I mix in a concrete mixer its pretty chill and easy.
