To the point -> Check out my recipe so far, please advise on how it looks, I am trying the old Clackamas recipe
I would like to source replacements for the Crab meal and Oyster flour... I really really do not want this to be a debate on the why, please just let me know what good replacement....
Ok but if you must know I do not to use animal products for environmental (I like the sea and air) and ethical (I like animals to feel alright) reasons. So..
So far I am starting to order and source the ingredients in the classic Clackamas Coot recipe:
Clackamas Coot's Recipe
1/3 Sphagnum Peat Moss
1/3 Aeration (pumice, perlite, lava rock, etc..)
1/3 Compost + Earthworm Castings
To each 1 c.f. of this mix I add the following:
1/2 cup organic Neem meal
1/2 cup organic Kelp meal
1/2 cup Crab meal or Crustacean meal
4 cups of Mineral Mix aka rock dust
Mineral Mix Recipe
1x – Glacial Rock Dust
1x – Gypsum
1x – Oyster Shell Flour or Agricultural Lime
1x – Basalt
But I would love the input on what I have so far,
Base mix:
1/3 Canadian Peat
1/3 Perlite
1/3 Local EWC
To which I will add
Neem meal
Alfalfa Meal ( Replace Crab meal?)
Kelp Meal
Glacial Rock Dust
Gypsum
Azomite
Please let me know if there is a ratio of the above that you really recommend, or if there are ingredients that you really think i should be adding.
Thanks!
