have a thirty five gallon container of used soil which has been filled with approximately twenty eight gallons of soil and three of home made biochar and two peat moss.
I have numerous amendments to add, and work compost and rabbit manure I can add as well as some horse manure. How much of each do I add?
I have azomite, alfalfa meal, blood meal, neem cake, powdered kelp, AgLime, diatomaceous earth, bonemeal…oyster shell…
There are lots of …
Seems like all you need to do is mix.
Probably equal amounts of all amendments will be fine, altogether no more than 1/3rd of the total soil. 1/3rd manure, 1/3rd soil. Perhaps less manure, depends how rich or poor the soil is. Add a load of worms too. Topdress with grassclippings, tree leaves and sow vetch for nitrogen.
Perhaps also a mix of clover and different herbs to confuse pests.
The more different plants you got growing in your soil simultaneously, the better.
Check the prices of ground hempseeds, last time I checked it was about the same price as alfalfa and seaweed.
Throwing in a bunch of spoiled bananas is great for potassium and phosphorus.
Dandelion, horsetail, thistle, nettle, etc for extra cheap minerals. I topdress with that.
Imma need to add my perlite…forgot about that.
Here is mine…
