Hello everyone,
it is the first time that I approach growing with a totally organic mixture. I'd like your opinion on the super soil mix I built.
I was inspired by the recipe of Clackamas Coots, but using fertilizers and soil improvers that are available in my country ... because unfortunately some fertilizers cannot be found.
1/3 mix blond peat, black peat, fibrous peat
1/3 worm casting
1/3 perlite
For cubic foot:
1/2 Cup: Powder mixture of brown marine algae such as Ascophyllum, Fucales, Laminariales.
1/2 Cup: the recipe would say Crab/Crustacean Meal, but in my country it is not found as fertilizer.
In fish culture stores I found these products: Crayfish Meal and Krill Meal. Obviously they are sold as fish food and not fertilizers... but I think it could be fine anyway, what do you think?
1/2 Cup: Neem cake
1 Cup: volcanic basalt
1 Cup: zeolite
1 Cup: Gypsum alabaster anhydrous or Gypsum hydrate?
1 Cup: Lithothamnium Calcareum (85% calcium carbonate and 15% magnesium)
I also have these articles (and since I have them, I would love to use them):
- Silica sand - quarzite - SiO2: 83,32%
- Chilean red guano NPK 1-5-1,3
- BioNova Organic Profimix NPK 6-4-8
and this products that I bought for bonsai:
- Fertilizer BIO C3 NPK 6,5-6-6
Organic fertilizer with trace elements.
Delivers high-quality nutrients to all kind of outdoor plants.
The effect appears already after 12 days (at 15 °C)
and continues for 60-70 days approximately.
Small pallets have nearly no optical effect on bonsais.
Can be used immediately after repotting.
The percentage of nitrogen derives from chicken feather flour as well as fermented cow dung.
The percentage of potassium derives from potassium phosphate obtained from sugar beet.
Contains additional trace elements which derive from natural components.
- BonsaiMaster NPK 3,6-3,6-3,1
Organic fertilizer, based on the dropping of the larval stage mod mealworm beetles (flour worms), thermomechanically processed into pellet shape.
The effects of the fertilizers result from the structure of the insect's digestive system which, in contrast to mammals or birds, processes much less organic material and has a more efficient method of digesting and nutrients intake. Thus the fertilizer gets perfectly decomposed when used and does not burden the substrate.
Thanks to the well-balanced content of the main biogenic elements (N, P, K) and the presence of secondary biogenic elements (Ca, S, Mg) and trace elements (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, B), the fertilizer positively affects plants and supports the easy intake of nutrients. The possibility of overfertilization is thus eliminated.
Ther fertilizer provides important substances for plant nutrition, boots the fertility of the soil and secures the presence of biological life within the soil. It speeds up the root system growth, increases the resistance of plants to pests and bacteria and improves the flabour, quality and yield.
