That is it ??
That' s all you really need. You can add other stuff to it but it's not necessary. The manure is composted so I don't think it needs lime and sunshine or promix has a little in it already. The only thing you want to stay on top of, is transplanting at the proper time. I tweaked my recipe a little but I can't say it did any better. I'll recommend this two bags of dairy doo one bag of promix or sunshine and some perlite, mix the perlite with the three bags until the soil gets lighter. I can't say how much perlite because I buy it in a very large bag just mix until the soil gets lighter and not feeling compacted. Maybe two gallons?

Another thing that will help you is sprinkle some mycorrhizae on the roots when you transplant. I did that to 14 plants this summer and they really do look better than the other ones. Don't use that water softener either.
The water softener is before my ro . I have no other way to do it .

It's fucking you bro. Most plants cannot tolerate high amounts of salt. The sodium in softened water actually interferes with the waterbalance in the plants and can kill plants by “fooling” them into thinking they have taken up more water than they have. Softened water essentially causes the plants in your garden to die of thirst.

You could try potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride for the softener, catch rain water, buy bottled water. Do you know a friend with good water? You should have a bypass valve for the softener.
