Starting Soil Ammendments before planting

NoVC01 · Apr 9, 2025

Organic soil 0.03-0.01-0.01. Lots of Organic stuff in it. I've been adjusting my starting soil with individual amounts of NPK, calmag and Big Bloom (mostly guano). All are water soluble. It's more of a guesstimate than exact. I am looking at Dr Earth 4-4-4 now. I would prefer water soluble to dry. Picture is existing soil ingredients. Looking for recommendations?

You can look at down to earth lineup! But I don’t know! I don’t do it that way! What’s wrong with the way you’re using now?

Tedious. Just looking for quicker route to amending. I'm probably fiddling around because of growing community info overload.

Yes you are and asking the same question over and over just word it differently? It's not rocket science so don't make it difficult.

I thought I just edited the post didn't realize it posted twice instead. Still looking for an all in one product instead of what I've done in the past.

Nice way to come at someone the first time you communicate with them! No it is not rocket science. Only thing I am looking for is an all in one product to boost soil health before planting. If you actually looked at my soil ingredients you'd see a trace amount of NPK and additional ammendment is necessary. You wanna recommend a product?

THE END OF THIS POST FOR ME! Found out exactly zero. Two products were suggested to me elsewhere. I looked at them both today and both will work. I chose something else called, Farmer's Secret Soil Revitalizer. Has exactly what I'm looking for. Now I don't need to mix. Just add and pour. Why do I even bother to ask questions. Some people have poor reading comprehension or try to fill your brain with to much scientific information.

If you just looking to only water your soil look into buils a soil products. Down to earth also is good for easy pre amendments especially if you make your own soil. Just give it some time this isnt something you will just read and do in one day. But its still a trail and error type of thing. I build my soil and pre amendments with DTE and water and top dress if needed. Hope it helps and hope that you get it going!! and honestly depending on how long you have been on this site....you would know that most if not all of the information has been tested and you are seeing the EXPERIENCE of that here. we are all here to help no matter how many times you talk about something. 🌬
