Ok I'm using
40% peat moss 3.8cu ft, 50lbs cow menuer,
40% Native soil(part clay,brown dirt ill call it)
20% addatives (wood ash,blood meal,vermiculite, pearlite, leaf stick compost, old dead like 50+ year dead trees decomposition )

The soil is very airy, when u squeeze it it compacts but breaks apart very easy,
its a brownish black color, smell is pungent, a wetish feeling, aftet it rained,
So its very good at drainage, very spungy,
Idk any more details,

you want to build a compost pile and hit it with biodynamic(rudolph steiner) preps. the leaves and brush are best composted, as the tannins can disrupt other processes going on in the soil. my other offhand recommendations wold be- fire ash, and volcanic cinders. once your compost pile has cooked for at least 6(1 yr. is 'finished compost') months, you can use it to make compost tea- bubbled up with a large fish tank pump in a 5 gal. bucket for 3-4 days: 1 quart of compost to 4 oz. of molasses(unsulphured). hit your soil with that every 2 wks. the tea is pure magic! with all that peat moss; your drainage should be perfect without the need for vermiculite/perlite. I'm into coco coir...1/3 of my mix is coco.

100% whey protein, for sure. strawberry/banana flavored. throw some creatine in there, too. after that, shoot some steroids straight into the stalk of that mother and tell her to grip-it-and-rip-it!

Not now chief, I'm in the zone.

Protein and what not is expensive. Don't throw it in your compost pile. :bigjoint:
