revised soil mix

so ive been looking around and this is what ive come up wot
50/50 native soil with compost
20% perlite
20% worm casting
20%sphagnum peat moss
1/2 cup blood meal per cubic foot
1 cup bone meal per cubit foot
1-2 tbs lime per gallon

does that seem alright? so does this mean that if i get this all mixed together, will 60% of all my soil be worm casting, perlite, and peat poss? wasnt sure if i am getting this correctly lol would it be better just to use all compost instead of halfing it with native soil? because my soil here is bad. thanks

yeah, i dont use my native soil...it's hard rocky clay...
you mix sounds good to me...
but heads up on the blood meal can draw animals to your garden...

should i just avoid using blood meal then or is it really worth it? i got horses, coyotes, hogs, and a stupid dog to worry about lol was planning on putting a fence around the crops tho... i ended up going to a hydroponics place today and gettins all my stuff, instead of using compost im using some thing called hydromix hp, its already got peat moss, perlite and lime in it so i dont have to worry about that shit. im still probly going to add 30% perlite tho. went and got everything ill need for the grow today, feeling stress free lol
