My Organic Soil Recipe.. help?

[Burr_nit]

Hey guys. I'm back it, and going organic!! Super excited about this venture. I have done some research and here is what I have thus far.

-Black Cow Compost
-Roots Organic Soil
-Bat guano 5-1-1
-Alfalfa meal 2.5 - .5 - 2.5
-Fish Bone Meal 3-16-0
-Kelp Meal 1-0.1-2
-Oyster shell
-Azomite
-Earthworm castings
-Kelp meal 1-0.1-2
-Dolomite
-Perlite
-Mykos


Castings and Black Strap Molasses for teas?

What do you guys think?? Any input on adding or subtracting amendments would be helpful.

Yeah man, just looking for a water only soil, that I will feed teas once week ..give or take. Also a soil I can recycle and use again. Just an all around beautiful organic - healthy living soil.

What about molasses?

What about molasses?

Generally I wouldn't mix molasses directly into a soil mix, but rather as a carb source for my compost teas that I feed weekly. That seems to keep the microherd active, happy, and healthy.
As a microbial food that I actually mix into my supersoil, I have found alfalfa meal to work best. It is an awesome carb source, contains natural L shaped proteins and Amino's, trace elements, a mild source for Nitrogen and Potash and is loaded with natural growth hormones like Cytokinins, Giberellins, and Auxins. Its uses in a living organic soil mix are limitless!
Hope this helps!

OP, your mix looks great, seems like it covers almost all levels of plant nutrition. Only thing that I would personally change is using feather meal as a slow release N source and steering away from bat guano. Guano breaks down way too fast for my liking, and especially outdoors it seems to leach out of the soil way too fast.
Also, I recommend adding a little crabshell/shrimp/lobster shell to your soil mix. It is a great calcium source, as well as a source of Chitosin which enacts a systemic autoimmune response in your plants, tightening your flowers and loading them with bountiful resin glands.
Gypsum is also a great additive for calcium/magnesium and most importantly sulfur for resin production.
Other than that? You are looking golden.
Let us know how it all works out man!

@Only1Sky Here's a thread I started when I was trying to build my soil. I got some good pointers!! The recipes section is good in general..something to check out!
