Been using it for the last few grows and I love it. The only thing I add is light feedings of fish ferts. High N for veg, high P for flower, of course. I usually use only Neptune's harvest but switched it up a lil and use Earth Juice grow for veg and Neptune's Harvest rose and flower for flower.I've considered that fruit and nut granular before.

Do you need to use fertilizer with this?This is the same recipe I've used for decades and never had a problem other than bugs.
1 Bale Promix
1 Lg Bag composted cow manure
6x 6 gallon buckets

Wood ashes
I know there are a lot of growers that will roll their eyes over such a minimalist setup and will say that I need tons of magical and expensive potions and tinctures. Jimmy Carter was POTUS when I was taught this method and I never really saw anything that improved on it that was notable. Save the wood ashes for blooming.

20-20-20 is like jacks..........my issue is I had salt build up somehow in that pro mix
How do you like ocean forest? I have a few bags I'm thinking of mixing up.Hey all I just got through reading these 43 pages of info and man was it some good stuff. I've been reading here along with other organic gardening books and I follow some no till/organic growers on YouTube and it's been a great help. I'm going to be making the jump into organic soon as well. After studying a bit I think I have a mostly solid plan for soil, let me know what you think.
Base Mix- mine is 6cuft25% peat
25% worm castings
25% FFOF/happy frog
25% aeration: 50/50 perlite & clay balls
6C ea brown rice/oats/cover crop
Lime AmendmentsStill unsure about lime and amounts needed, from what I've read I was planning on a 50/50 of Espoma garden lime and DTE oyster shell @ 1C per cuft. Please clarify for me if you can.
Mineral Mix: 4C/cuft?Espoma Greensand
DTE Azomite
Nuterient Amendments: 3C/cuft?Espoma bio tone
Veg soil mix
Espoma alfalfa meal, cottonseed meal, and kelp meal
Flower soil mixEspoma plant tone
Espoma bulb tone
Espoma alfalfa meal, cottonseed meal, and kelp meal
For the flower and veg mixes the soil is seperated and amended as such, not as one giant mix with both Amendments in it. I hope this part makes sense. Thanks in advance for the input!
Dont use charcoal briquettes! Oh no bad bro. The flammable chemical added to the charcoal is nasty stuff and the reason not to.I just checked pricing. that biochar shit is very expensive.
i take lump charcoal, smosh it up a bit, add compost, compost tea, viola, free biochar.
$$$$$
Dairy doo with smelt hulls? Manure with ashes?Morgans composting (Gregs mix)

Soil Mix:
3 cubic ft Master Nursery potting soil(peat based)(1.5 bags)
25lb Napa floor dry(diatomite)(1 bag)
.5 cubic ft Ancient Forest Humus(1 bag)
1 1/6 cup mykos(mychorhizae)
3.5 cups insect frass(2-2-2)
2.25 cups Neem Seed meal(5-1-2)
6oz rock phosphate(0-3-0)
9 oz azomite(0-0-.2)(Trace Minerals)
