Hey there I found this recipe on another forum and changed a few things.
Just wondering what I would be missing from this that would be relatively easy to source for micro sized batches of super soil.
Everything here I am able to find at my local hardware stores.
I wasn't getting much help over there so maybe you could be more helpful
"PLEASE NOTE:
Ingredient quantities and the procedure outlined below were specifically meant to efficiently mix a minimal amount of loam, using minimal hardware, in 4 easy steps. But I included percentage values for those equipped to batch mix bulkier quantities.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups (45%): Premier Mushroom compost 1-0.5-1 ** (This was CIL shrimp manure compost but I could not find any)
1½ cups (20%): Pro-Mix Vegetable & Herb
1 cup (15%): Rubicon worm castings
1 cup (15%): CIL Kelp Mix
½ cup (5%): CIL Blood and Bone Meal
2 x 5 gallon buckets
1/4 cup: rain water
Follow the ingredients list adding them (including the water) into one of your buckets. Using an electric hand mixer on the slowest speed, mix until the preparation has a uniform dark colour. Swing the hand mixer beaters around and under the ingredients to achieve a nice even mix, this shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. Finally, drop the mix into your second bucket and even it out across its diameter with your fingers.
Repeat three more times until the second bucket is half full.
Fill the second bucket to the top with good quality soil. Seal the bucket with lid and let it cure in the sun or somewhere warm for 6 to 10 days. If you’re using pots, seal the bottom and top with plastic wrap to protect the mix from insects while it cures."
I was also looking at maybe some pre-made teas for flowering, I'm assuming the soil should be enough for vegging?
Any advice you could give would be great. thank you for your time.
