Just looking for some feedback, this is my first soil recipe based off of Coot's Soil Mix.
Base 1-1-1
36 cups Sphangum Peat Moss
12.5 cups Vermiculite and 21.5 cups Perlite
32 cups Compost (Leafgro) and 4 cups worm castings
(this equals to about less than 1 cubic foot)
Rock dust/trace minerals
3 cups Azomite
Amendments
1 cup Kelp Meal
1.5 cups Neem Seed Meal
1 cup Oyster Shell Flour
1/2 cup Garden Gypsum
1 cup Bone Meal
2 tbsp Mycorrhizal Fungus
Planning on letting it sit for a month, keeping the mixture covered and moist with water ph-ed 6.5 - 7. I used a lot of Espoma products because that's what's available at my gardening stores. I also don't have enough matured compost, so I bought some from Home Depot. My hope for my next run is to have my own aged compost to use, and to use equal parts compost and worm castings (but worm castings are expensive!).
