This is the soil recipe I plan to use in the future. A friend of mine uses it and he has great results.
1.5 cf bag of compost
5lbs of worm castings
1 gallon perlite
2 cups crab meal
2 cups alfalfa meal
5 cups kelp meal
3 cups dolomite lime
20 gallons of used Promix HP with biofungicide.
(I save my used soil in 50 gallon tree pots outdoors and re use that instead of starting from scratch with sphagnum peat or choir. If I was making soil from scratch I would still use a bale of the pro mix to start instead of the peat or choir))
1 cup Mycorrhizea liquid mixed with 1 gallon of water.
It should be ready to use in about 10-14 days
This size batch should fill eight 5 gallon buckets to with 2 inches of the rim.
