Well buddy, lotus710 hasn’t been here in a long time. He is on IG @notill_hippy if you want to give him a follow there.
I could give you my soil recipe. It’s basically a Coots mix with a couple additions. There are a few other organic growers here too.
What exactly do you need help with?

Not sure what happened to him exactly.
Additives, I like to use silica, aloe, fulvic, barley, neem, kelp, TM-7, and coconut water. Not all at once mind you, but that’s what I water in over the course of a couple weeks.
IPM is usually cold pressed neem oil, aloe, and silica. Once a week up until flowers form.

of you’re broke as hell then KISS(keep it simple, stupid). 
what do you mean by “yard soil”? just the shit in the backyard? or bagged generic potting mix?
if your native dirt is good then just get some compost, start a green waste/compost pile, use a single granular fertilizer with even NPK #s below 10. (like 10-15$).
city water(out of a hose) will work but it’s usually crap, imo.
Bugs? do you have signs of damage? My first year outdoor I didn’t use ANY insecticide or any spray at all. had to pick off some caterpillars but it was not bad.
