I was wondering since i can get alot of stuff free such as compost , crab meal , fish meal, ewc , seaweed , i can get basalt for very cheap also cinder which would probably be all i need to pay for.

If you can get compost, Crab meal, fish meal, ewc, kelp, and basalt for free or cheap than you're pretty much done shopping dude. Swing by your local landscape or garden supplier and pick up some peat moss and perlite and you're done.

I feed my worms rabbit manure and just harvested my first two trays of castings recently. AWESOME results so far.

Dude your shit is gonna be nuts I bet

I would ask him for the castings tho not rabby manure, if only getting one,
tho both would be sweet
and I would cop some myco and an aloe plant or gel! A can of pure young organic coco water

And yea kelp is way less hot than alfafa I've ran seedlings directly in 2-3% kelp (of total volume) and had the tiniest tips burnt for two leaf sets then the plant went nuts and perfectly robust , not that I recommend this

As for kelp, yep, its a seaweedimage.jpg

coming from experience, fresh kelp/seaweed takes FOREVER to break down, even in a good compost pile, it took over a yr for mine to breakdown.
also I am not sure the macro/micros would be similar, but who's to say

I listened to Grease! Rabbit manure and Kelp in a leaf/grass compost... The stalls on the right are where I store my manure.
