    Living Soil Micronutrients

    Greetings y'all. I grow exclusively organic, indoors. My medium is roughly 40% coco coir, 20% garden compost (homemade), 20% worm castings (homemade), and 20% Vermiculite/Perlite. I brew and water with worm tea weekly. Over the last 18 months, I've been very impressed with my resuls; yet I recognize that by the end of my grow(s), my ladies seems to be in need of additional nutrients, which I then supplement with BioBizz Bio Bloom and Top Max.

    I would like to create a true "living soil"; however, all recipes call for a long, long list of amendments. It would be cost prohibitive for me to buy batguano, bone meal, blood meal, kelp meal, neem cake, epsom, biochar, lime, sulphure, alfalfa meal, gypsum, azomite, soybean meal, fish meal... the list goes on!

    Can anyone recommend a product which contains the appropriate ratio of enough of these microntrients, that I can mix into my substrate, let it cook for a few weeks, before planting, then perhaps use to topdress or "water in" as needed later in the growth cycle?

    I would be grateful for any suggestions.

      Looks sweet. Thanks for the tip, Orggrwr. Do you, or any others here have actual experience with Build A Soil Craft Blend?

      Been using it for about a year with my own compost and worm castings. Works great

        The website shows mixing instrucions of "1/4 to 1 cup per gallon..." That's an incredibly wide range: +/- 400% ! 😳
        Do you tend to mix on the light side, or the heavy side?
