Its all good, that's the plan to use the same soil for a long time! CooIf you were to replace FFOF with Down To Earth compost your soil would look like what I have been using for three years.
I feel that FFOF is a fine soil, but a redundancy, as it contains the same stuff you are building your soil from.
are you cooking this, for how long? have you added the mycos? If yes why? Will they still be alive when you add a plant? Depends but may be not, the salts will kill most glomus anyways, so the epsom would be a killer of that $$$$ myco powder imo. I reckon you would need about 90 days to cook this lot.Mixing some soil for 2016
2yds of nursery grade soil
24 bag of soil / FFOF-ROOTS ORGANIC - COCO
50lbs of roots organic worm castings
20lbs bat guano
25lbs of fish bone meal, azimite, kelp meal, oyster shell, blood meal
2 lbs epson salt
8oz of root magic (BPN) microhaizae
Yes sir i put 8 oz root magic b4 i found out in order for myrohiazae to work it requires roots, lol my loss lesson learned! The soil has been cooking since jan 17 th ! Also i have worms sliming there way through the soil leaving slime so that everything sticks to it , with fungai strands or hyphae growing thru soil spores , i believe glomalin coats soil particles like super glue eventually these making these aggregates or clumps these aggregates changethe soil pore space making it easier for the soil to hold water and soluble nutrients for plant to use! :) wow can't believe that came out of my head, didnt mean to go off subject but i love this organic stuff! @Ecompost,are you cooking this, for how long? have you added the mycos?

I would add free ranging bacteria, not mycos mate, help mineralize the inputs in to ions
sure, http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1002016008600429@Ecompost, can you explain a little bit bout free ranging bacteria or give me some reading material? Thank you brother
