Could I just remove topsoil by my dugout and replace it with cattle manure? Just pump water from the dugout to the plants? Maybe add hydroponic Nutrients in a reservoir, adjust pH and gravity feed? I don't really need to buy dirt, I have hills full of the stuff.
The dugout is fed from an underground spring near it.

I believe so but don't quote me lol.
If I had a pile of topsoil I would add An even part mix peat moss, perlite, will give you a solid ass potting mix. Some worm castings A little bit of dolomite lime and you're golden.
To be honest though If I had a choice between topsoil vs compost I'd obviously go with compost.
I think top soil maybe to heavy how like mentioned adding even parts may help.

That same topsoil if planned on using next summer I would make a compost pile out of it by throwing your greeen box waste in it over the winter. Find a live bait shop and buy a like 4 packs of worms or more and throw in pile. ( your a fisherman so I'm sure you know where to grab some worms instead of digging them up lol )
It won't really break down during winter, however come march, April it will do its thing and be ready for June 1.
When it comes to PH I let the Dolomite lime do its thing. No need for a ph pen. imo

Home Hardware has good quality coco coir blocks and the local farmers coop often has nutes and other gardening supplies.
Ebay.ca is also a good source of DIY things like drivers COBs and other light building stuff.
Local metal supply places like machine shops sell aluminum extrusions in various profiles useful for DIY light building.

I'm in the process of setting up a couple Canadian online shops, have no desire to ship to the US at all. I think to get this off the ground faster one will be nutrients only ie brand name stuff GH,AN, Canna, powders ie Jacks Pro/Plant Prod broken down per 1kg amounts and raw chamicals for anyone doing their own mixes, this is also to hit up aquarium/planted tank guys. The other will be full shop but I'm still evaluation which software to use.

Normally I'd use Drupal 7 and Drupal Commerce/Ubercart but Drupal 8 being so much more complicated and the upgrade path looks like it sucks and me having no desire to do my own dev work anymore gonna go with something more easy out of the box and then get someone to do custom stuff that I don't want to do lol. Only thing with Drupal is you can get very creative in connecting reviews, forum and article writes ups to the product and vice versa. So anytime someone writes a forum post they can select the product that they are talking about and it'll be shown at the bottom of their forum post with a buy button or link to the product page. That post then can be shown on the product page. So lots of interactivity for the user. Only thing is getting it working on phones is a pain in the ass setting up responsive designs, fuck things were SO much easier with out smart phones lol.

The nutrient only site should take me 4-5 days as it wont be big, once I get a business bank account and merchant account mon/wed I'll repost back.
