I always add dolomitic lime to buffer the medium. Half that shit I'm not even sure what it is so maybe it's included in one of those things.

If my calculations are correct the additions of oyster flour ( 1 cup forgot to add that to the list of ingredients) plus the azomite (calcium oxide is the source for calcium) and 3 forms of compost should give me the buffer needed to act as the dolomite would. in the event futher buffering is needed tho I do have it and will most likely top dress. I just didn't want to over do the calcium which would antognize the uptake of magnesium and throw off other shit. Pic's 1,2,3,4 are of the pre colonized inoculation media. Notice the puffy cotton, that the mycelium starting to go to work on the rice hulls. Pic's 5,6 are the transplant in fabric root pots.
