Messed up my schedule no time to cook SS. What other options?

Thanks but I still don't understand something. People say they reuse their soils because only a small part of nutrients is used. If I reammend with everything that I used (perlite, vermiculite, bone meal, blood meal, guanos, worm castings etc)wouldn't that cause overfertilization ? Using the same quantity of ingredients.

Maybe I should use only half? sorry im new to this.

It's difficult to tell you the re-amendment rates because that's predicated on the size of the containers, strains, and length of time in containers.
a "normal" re amendment ratio is about a qtr of the initial amount

That makes sense. I was thinking it would be a full reammend but that's too much. I'll use 1/4 of what I used the first time then. I have soluble nutrients too so I can tackle any deficiencies.

Having used supersoil, I like this method better. The entire soil mix seems full of plenty, but not at the kind of concentration to burn.

I suspect the kind and quality of compost does matter. I used other bagged compost in the past and I don't think it was very good. Too much woody material in it.

Also, the guy I bought the compost worms and bokashi from said their compost is mild enough to use straight without burn, and the bokashi likewise. I don't know for sure, but I think keeping the amendments to the used soil mild rather than hot made it work out better than the supersoil plan.

I have grown with bark based compost vs ewc and for sure the root mass was larger in the soil loaded with ewc.
