So I made a personal mix of organic soil
I mixed it in 4 tiers
Tier 1
1 part Alaskan humus (AH)
2 part Earth worm casting (ewc)
Tier 2
1 part ah/ewc
1 part perlite (added a little vermiculite too)
1 part peat moss
Tier 3
For every gallon of the tier 2 mix I added
1/4 cup dolomite
2 tbsp oyster shell flour (down to earth)
2tbsp azomite
Tier 4
For every gallon of the tier 3 mix I added
1/4 cup “Bio live” (down to earth) 5-4-2
1/4 cup “uprising grow” (roots organic) 6-1-2
I threw in a handful of lava rock to give more homes for microbes too.
I checked pH and ppm then
pH: 6.4-6.5
Ppm: 840
Currently I’m charging a few cups of Biochar in a compost tea to add in to the mix here in a couple days
The tea is currently neautral pH and at about 3400 ppm
I need some criticism. What am I missing? What is wrong? Do ppm and pH matter a lot in living soil? I’ve gotten mixed reviews on this matter.
