Is that your own soil blend in the solos? If so what’s in it?

Yeah it’s ny own recycled blend. The base of it is mostly peat. For drainage perlite, pumice, rice hulls and river rock. I raise worms, so fresh injections of castings, and use a rotation of amendments with nectar for the gods one shot thrown in to even everything out run to run. Old rootballs get shredded and mixed in and there are some worms in the bin that I keep the soil blend in.

@DragonflyCoyoteSmoke interesting that you too use the old root balls in your mix. I have been doing this for a while thinking that since they were pulling nutrients out of the soil for the plants that they may still hold those nutrients that were not used. As they break down nothing is lost. A handful of fresh worm castings couldn’t hurt either.

They do. That’s what soil is, is rotting organic material. My bins have a bunch of rootballs in them, in various states of decomposition. If a big chunk of roots gets thrown into a pot when I’m filling it, I just leave it in there, don’t see any reason to remove it.

That’s what I see that had me curious. That sounds like a good blend. I always throw old root balls in figure got to have some nutes in them. I’ve been thinking about starting over on my soil. I’ve been running same soil for 2 years just add homemade compost, a little cheap bag soil, ewc, and more perlite. I’d like to find a way to get soil into a simple process.

I don’t know if it’s still commonly available but when I was a teenager I was responsible for the family truck garden and I used a lot of cotton seed hulls to lighten the Oklahoma clay. I’ve considered trying them in a sativa mix.
Roots are also good for inoculating your soil with myco, that’s where they are most concentrated.

@Greandal, you are going to wonder ‘where did all this goodness come from’.
I have one jar I cut back in the beginning of October that amazes me everytime I open that jar.
