hey i cant answer some questions ive never made subs super soil. cooking just means let it compost. let the microbes break down the nutrients you put in into an availible source for the plants. ive never used blood meal or alfalfa meal. i am curious about wood ashes. do you just use your own or did you buy this somewhere? i just made a soil yesterday and decided to put a banana in the mix to give it some more potassium.

"cooking" is composting. How ever long sub said let it cook is a ball park estimate to what he thinks is appropriate. How many days did he say? I say you go an extra week or two. Hell the longer the better i imagine

yea i just use my own just make sure u burn nothing but wood in the fire u r going to use the ashes out of, ive always used them on tomato plants and they work great so i think they will work the same for meds.

Yes to the blood/alfalfa. Pick one or the other. I use alfalfa.
Leave the wood ashes alone till you know what you're doing better. Good stuff but VERY easily over applied.

im just going to star t a new thread on ashes so its in the title
Use kelp meal and greensand for the K. Mo Betta for you right now.
Wood ash has to be a hardwood ash and even then it's a tsp/tbl type of measurement, not something you go dumping on.
Or, get it, dump it on and learn from (painful), experience.
Your call.

The guano is a source of phosphorus, so NO, you cannot substitute blood or alfalfa meal. Both are good things to have in your soil, but not phosphorus sources.
