there is so much going on there don't even know what to take of that
it is a list of every thing you would and could build soil and life with,,tells you the npk value of each ingrediant,,kinda the same thing as the nutrients you buy,,they list the rating,same thing,,in difrent parts of the world some folks cant even buy bag soil and this list can provide them with things they can find local to do the same thing

1 part aeration
1 part high quality worm castings
1 part peat moss

Per cubic foot
5 cups biochar
2-3 cups basalt
1/2-1 cup kelp meal
1-2 cup MBP
1/2-1 cup neem/karanja cake
1 cup lime
You can buy the amendment kits from build a soil. This is based on his newest recipe but I add the lime because I just don't trust relying on ewc.

I every now and thing make ewc tea like I said im so newb I don't know what im doing so I do the ez way to do it all adding more of something just fs me n the a lol
That is good but what you need is actual compost. You could try making tea out of some high-quality real humus. That is what will really work and also stabilize your pH worm castings will not do that.

You can get by with a monthly 1/2 cup top dress of kelp and karanja/neem cake. I'd feed coconut water and aloe once a week and soap nut tea once a week. There is not a true water only soil that keeps plants at peak health. Not out the bag anyway.

@dnewsome2 there is a way higher concentration of humus in worm castings than in compost. Worm casting are compost chelated down to an even more available form. I make compost before i feed it to my worms to avoid

I was only trying to address living soil and pH. As far as I understood it she had already added bone meal and other amendments for flower. Not everyone has great worm castings like you. Some worms are fed garbage.

It's complicated but hydrogen causes acidity. This acidity is neutralized by the hydrogen attaching to carbonates making them into bicarbonates which makes it available to your plant.
