Hello farmers. What i really want to know is, when broken down, what do the elements used to amend organic soil give the plants? What does oyster shell do for plants? Crab meal? alfalfa meal? so on & so on.
The obvious & smart ass answer is "convert to food", but I really would like some insight on the subject. Why do some farmers leave out some & prefer others? I'm also coming from the standpoint of being an inside grower. Im sure outdoor guys go different routs & quantities for their mixes because plants sit in final soil for longer. I have read quite a few soil recipes but most don't say why they use what they use. I want to make soil based on what different elements can do for my strains & less on what others find fashionable...
A simpler question would be, does anyone have any references to help me do the research for myself? I know there are farmers on here that have this kind of knowledge. I would appreciate any knowledge & help.
Thanx farmers....
