What soil mix are you referring to? Mine? No there is not, but the ease of mine is no cook time
I got some soil tests done.I guess I am asking if ANYBODY has soil tests. Other than just listing ingredients and posting it works for them? I keep saying it, but this thread is lacking science.
That is what happens when someone does not want to test the soil or amending or mixing your own. Neither are as good as what someone can mix on there own. Or take a base mix and amend it.Both of those soils are just ok huh? Vermifire being clearly better. Glad I never went with sanctuary soil.
I'll post up some fresh results for fun.
I have noticed this as well @leadsled. Do you think the recipe is a secret from Grass Valley, because when I tested the soil it came out perfect IMO. I have been trying to recreate the mix myself, but the tests come out way off.
I have been considering another route for my 40 yards needed this season. I was thinking of just ordering 40 yards of 33% pumice, 33% peat, 15% ewc and 18% diesel compost. Getting that tested at Logan Labs, then send those over to Michael Astera and have him send me what I need. I am tired of crappy soil, I want a Ferrari.
Good question! Excellent observation.ok, I'll bite. How do you keep the CEC levels high, along with the organic matter, if you take out compost? Are you saying pay for extra EWC? Or do you have something else that will be a substitute?
I would love your help with my soil next year. Should we do this through PM's? People could learn a thing or two if we make our own thread, or continue in this one?
It is very easy to make a mistake on math. Even using computers!I'll make a full admission that the math puts me off of trying to work *any* numbers. I really am bad at it, period.
But at this particular juncture in time, since I'm not even sure we're going to be at this property in 6mos, I'm not going to concern myself with soil.
If you do some math on SOME of those inputs they are pretty excessive.here is my mix this year per cubic foot. i also have liquid karama,roots trinity and extreme serene. i will be using bioag humic & silica powder,ful-power and down to earth humic acid granular in my soil at 1 cup per C.F. i got Sea-90 to use every 10 days on the advice of Sea-madien as well thanks SM =). i will do some top dressings as need with bat guano,dr earth vega and down to earth vegan mix.
