I've asked this over on Organics where I usually lurk, but I'm going to do a salt-based run to use up some old Botanicare and other goodies I have lying around.
My medium is chunky coco, some peat, perlite and a dash of some montmorillonite clay. Since I have been running SIPs and organic soil I have amendments lying around like OSF, Neem, Kelp, Gypsum, Lime, etc.
I plan to top feed and drain with runoff accordingly but I'm worrying about 2 things I usually address with my amendments. What can I do to proactively get some IPM like I do with Neem and then to help with pH and calcium I'm thinking the OSF and dolo/gypsum may be useful. I have a lot of the other usual suspects in my amendments choices.
Any insights or suggestions for an organics guy with the typical stuff he'd have lying around to use?
