I am getting ready to prepare some compost for upcoming grows...any input regarding shortcomings or excesses in the mix would be appreciated. It will have at least 75 days to cook...
Mix as follows...
8L ( 2 gal) Organic farmyard compost.
8L Earth worm compost.
8L Coco.
8L Perlite.
1 cup kelp meal.
1/2 cup Calcified seaweed.
1 cup Fishbloodbone meal.
1 cup EWC.
1 cup high p bat guano.
1/2 cup dolomite lime.
1/4 cup epsom salt.
1/4 cup mineral magic.

To be mixed in small bin and watered with some Diamond Nectar. ( humic/fulvic).
Cheers....:Sharing One:
 
I have bubbled a gallon of water overnight with a tbsp EWC.
Mixed up soil ingredients and watered a little with EWC for a quick start boost..
I have to collect a sturdier bin tomorrow for the mix.
Some fine aromas present..:Sharing One:
 
Hey brother Duggy dude! I was tossing around n looking around since there are twoproducts Im totally unfamiliar with.but short of the diamond nectar and the mineral magic.I can only say that I would cut back on the Bloodmeal by 1/3-1/2 cup.Thats often very high in N and if you have a kicker tea going with EWC and EWC already with more than a two month cook,it should do alright imo.But I would use a stronger kicker tea imo.Ive done that four times with the last four bathces Ive made and once mixed and cooking.WOW,talk about really beautiful soil smells after a month.just heaven,ALMOST as good as good buds.LOL!I would increase the Lime to a cup and mix reeallly really well.and again I personally would use a stronger kicker tea thats high in N and P with lower K obviously.thats why I say lower Bloodmeal.but thats me.there are soo many ways to do it.excellent mix though bro.dont you normally grow this way?or do you use botled nutes?I thought you were an organics guy.I usually dont lend an opinion to be honest to organic growers since they often have figured stuff out for themsleves waaay before me.LOL!I just read a lot.Be good brother dont mind me man,just lending an opinion brother Duggy dude.:Sharing One:
 
Cheers EoF... I have some calcified seaweed which states it raises soil pH and the Mineral magic also... I did add about 3/4 cup of lime.. Just started first organic grow with GHE Biosevia nutes but feel the compost will work well being fed just water from an external tank for the Autopots...no chance of clogging tubes etc..
Seasick...thats the plan bro..just water and maybe an occasional tea if needed...hopefully...:Sharing One:
 
Bubbled water with added Earth worm castings and a variety of organic goodies... Aerated Compost Tea...:Sharing One:
 
Cheers mate...I must have visited 50 places to get what I needed..
It either turns out the stuff is not organic or you can only buy by the tonne...sorry no samples available...fun..:Sharing One:
 
Hey bro, this is a good idea. I haven't noticed any chicken or bat shit in there mate. These are fantastic for nutes mate. Especially if your planning on just plain water.

Iv got my outdoor spot cooking at the moment with come chicken poo. I'm just going to top feed the bat guano(Plagron) and with the occasional Tea, and that's it.
