Where can I get a lot of EWC for cheap? Do have a suggestion?basic coots mix is 30/30/30
1 part sphagmum peat
1 part aeration
1 part ewc or compost
I do not consider the EWC/compost to be optional, I consider it a key component (you need a source of microbial life)

I'm in Canada too! I cannot find EWC excep for little tubs of it at my hydro shop (which are petty expensive). I can't do a bin right now, my family doesn't want me doing that LMAOShort of starting your own worm bin? :)
My city offers free compost from the waste disposal and I can get a massive bag of EWC for pretty cheap up here in Canuck land.

I found this product at Canadian tire, would this suffice for compost do you think? https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/...KDQW90iyRoCxrIQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#store=478
Yeah for sure dude, I'm in Edmonton Alberta, I'm comfortable lol. I don't mind if people know hahaYeah I'd say that's better than nothing! Send me a DM with your city or province and I'll see what I can find if you're comfortable.
Hey just an update. I called my local hydro shop and they carry all the ingredients you mentioned (spagnum, perlite and EWC). It's gonna cost me a pretty penny to acquire all of it, but it's STILL cheaper than paying the shipping fees to bring in a bale of the good PROMIX from down there in Olds.Yeah I'd say that's better than nothing!

So if I added all three of those ingredients together, then amended it with the granular nutrients I still have leftover, that would suffice for a good potting mix? Do I need to add dolomite lime to it at all? Or is there something else I can add to bring the pH up a bit?
It was actually the hydro lite south I was going to go to haha. Thanks for looking for me dude! I appreciate it.Bro just go to Hydro lite on Fort Road :) Grab bale of their ProMix for <40, Perlite for <20, and EWC for <30 and you're set for a shit load of grows.

You're in EDM too, WTF? LMAOO, small world!! Fuckin eh! It was actually your signature that got me thinking about making my own compost, you know? Sounded simple enough to do. I can't bring myself to do this PROMIX full of large wood chunks and sticks again..Hit up the south if its closer I'm sure they have similar stock & same prices etc. I hit up the one on the north end all the time for my needs and they carry a lot of Gaia Green as well as Grove Bags!
ps the city offers free compost https://www.gov.edmonton.ab.ca/programs_services/garbage_waste/free-compost
