Cool Soil Recipe
Mixing my own Soil Recipe, targeting amimic of natural soil, one that doesn't burn, is not hot but containing enough to feed theplants with out adding additional fertilizer through an entire grow.
Using Epsoma Tomato Fertilizer as a guide.The logic, Epsoma may have some scientific reason as to whythey chose the ratio's of N to P to K and dilution ratio of Epsoma Tomatofertilizer to cu. ft. of soil. The tomatoes need for Fertilizer is similarto mine.
The base is a mix of Top Soil (store boughtbags) Worm Casting (home) and Peat Moss, all totaling 30 gallons.
