Mixing Soils too much work

can't keep up with it mixing so much heavy soils. Back doesn't match the heart.

Would just plain peat with lime, perlite, and marine life shells do the trick with a good liquid fish fert with a kelp fert out the bottle? Can water in benes.

Thanks

Its not hard. I'm a disabled vet with a bad back. Mix it in smaller batches. A couple Rubbermaid totes or small kiddy pools work great.

Get your base and amendments and mix a few gallons at a time.

Organic soils get better with time. Water only soil is a bit more work upfront but less in the long run.

I've run a promix style soil with just espoma garden tone.

Get a dry organic fert and top feed.

Yes ocean forest. Took it all the way. A hand full wanted nutes the rest where fine. But it comes with its own issues. Thrips,gnats,root aphids. Gone are the days of opening a bag of it and flying lace wings float out.

Hope your getting %100 for your service.

Don't have anymore epsoma, which goes faster than one thinks mixing all the time.

What do you think of the liquid fish and kelp
With some crush lobster shells?

I steam lobsters every week for the wife and kids.

It's alright man.
I get it. Your upset I told you to just stick to the narrative of the post. At Your young age it angered you. I was polite. I been here long enough to know that many fragile egos lurk. I tried. Just think for a moment not every one works out of a closet. If you don't know something just cruise to the next post. I'm sure somewhere you can shine in a post and look really cool.

Later man

Like I said. If you wanna go organic, do it right. Don't do it half assed like you plan on doing. That's what I know and tried telling you in my first fucking post. Mix in smaller batches asshat.

Yea whytebb suggested this. It sounds great. However have used the slow realease in the last mix. I wanted to use what I have and honestly it has the same shit in it as the tomato tone. I really don't want to buy another pallet of it when I can just use what I have but I'm I think you and whytebb have me convinced it will work.

Organics in a container is half assing it.
Now it sounds like your confused. So you been on these forums so long you actually believe your doing organics wrong if you control the organic material vs water only?
