Hey yall,
Currently starting my organics journey! There’s tons of information and knowledge on the web, I figure here is the best place to get some expert opinions and advice. I want to build my own super soil. With the volume of information out there it has gotten a bit confusing, and I’m not really sure how to start? I’ve taken some extensive notes with what I believe is how certain components/amendments are supposed to act and what they contain elementally. My current olan is to buy what I need weekly over the course of the next few weeks, than have the mix cooked and ready for around fall.
Attached here is my notes:

Super Soil lngredients
Recipe #1 (current list of what I’ve bought)
3lb. COM Fishbone Meal 3-15-0 ( 18 Ca + micro & trace elements) - slow release P good for late stages
