Poop, rock dusts, not really worm castings anymore because this is in an outdoor scenario where there are already lots of live worms. Um... sometimes sugars like malted barley extract, molasses, dry kelp.. and last year I tried cover cropping and I did a chop & drop that worked pretty well for the most part. It went a long way toward preventing drying out between waterings (it's all on automated drip irrigation) whereas if it's just mulched, or there's nothing at all the top of the soil itself dries out. I found that if I got the chopped material touching the soil well it would decompose fairly quickly.Hey all - what ingredients do you personally topdress with or recommend?

Funk/// i add about 2 or 3 inches of EWC to my 10 - 15 gallon smarties. i try and mix something else in with it. your soil idea is right on the money, i try and rotate but sometimes the batches all look alike.Oregon Panda - I have (handy) some gypsum, azomite, and read good things about "Ful-Power" (my orchard is indoors). What do you think of those for humic/fulvic supplementation?
PButter - I neglected to add 15g of the 25-30g of EWC in the Simplici-tea.com "Keep It Simple Nutrient Pack" mix, so I'm going to topdress a *lot* with EWC. How does that sound?
SeaMaiden - I have multiple kinds of kelp and alfalfa meal... and I use RTI/Xtreme Gardening teas - should I topdress these, use them in tea, or a combo do you think? Also, I have gypsum and azomite - same question with these?
Mogrow - Yeah, going to add a whole lot of EWC as topdress. Maybe 2.5g of topdress in a 10g smartie?
Also, I'm thinking of having 2 batches of soil - one in flower, the other cooking, then rotate them and top off nutes and add a bunch of enzymes for breakdown when the flower gets taken down.... your thoughts?
midwestdensies - I have all your ingredients...! Looks like all the reading I do here added up. Which sul-po-mag do you use? Also, are gypsum and azomite rock dusts you would use? Congrats on being stony in the A.M. "Its the wake and bake baby, when I open my eyes" -The Goats
Myco - Where do you get your neem seed meal? I didn't find it at feed and garden stores near me. Online?
Is that different from the neem cake?
Water soluble - well, I used to run Nectar of the Gods... fng amazing results, but a total PITA to mix. Expensive. TOTAL PITA, did I mention? Wasteful. Its a bitch. So I'm experimenting with dry amendments this time. After a year of ridiculous feed schedules and mixing barrels full of nutewater every 72hrs, I'm looking at other options.

Up to 2" for me in #5 smarties. It's typically not really all that high in N... All I know, is it works wonders. I usually buy it by the half-yard, so I have plenty of hand to topdress every lady in my gardens. EWC FTW.how much ewc do u guys topdress with? pretty high in n.
