The GH products are added conservatively since mixing, via the watering once a week. I have the same bottle of each that I purchased back in March fwiw.
The epsom is because the soil is very dense and slow. It is being used as a soil conditioner.
Ultimately, I am trying to build a natural bed that is healthy and sustainable on its own.
I am working this raised bed into the ground and am hopeful that by next spring, the bed itself will be healthy and rigorous and with the stamina to be a producer for years without too much more fuss.
The hoop-house is for produce production for my family, though I do have a bare ground spot where I dropped 4 of my ECSD BX (BX4) plants in the ground with the above regimen. They all seem healthy and I am currently harvesting fabulously healthy black beans, beets, radishes, onions and cucumbers from the raised beds.
Of course minerals take a long time to break down. That is specifically why I chose so many that are diverse in their micronutrient availability over time so that this soil is more alive and capable to be self-sufficient.
Even with all the overkill, I still see a increase in productivity and general plant happiness when I apply more compost as mulch which is a sign that even with all the microbes, I am still deficient of particular micronutes.
I have already germinated black beans from this season directly into the beds and they popped in a day. I have since transplanted them to my aquaponics system, so the mix is not too hot or otherwise rich for even seed germination so I am curious how my regimen is any more overmixed or produced than any other list I have seen here?
I was able to make enough fine soil with this blend in this ratio to fill a 3' wide x 3' deep L-shaped bed that is 5' long on one line and 4 on another. Paramagnetism is also behind this blend thus several minerals selected. I also really like the results I have seen with a blend closely crafted after this one...
EDIT: Sorry, wrong yt link first time. Should be [
The real point of this thread is the transference of information on what other growers are using for organic soil. Obviously, not everyone will have the same regimen. Just because you have not explored one or another does not mean it should not be explored or recommended against.
