I was thinking since each plant is different (
@Rrog ) when building a soil, how would I be able to make a general mix for everything? Is it kind of like start w coots and then amend it to what you see?
He uses either peat or leaf mold, then his EWC and then aeration. Leaf mold> peat if he indeed uses leaf mold but the big thing is his castings. He runs a specific batch of compost then runs that through his worm bin. I would think since I'm far behind harvesting my castings, that I would probably show deficiencies since I don't have HIS high quality castings and or leaf mold.
I would think in my mind ok, deficiency...let me add x amount of whatever I see. If I had better castings and or leaf mold that may not be the case. Once I introduce better castings and or leaf mold, the mix would change and my original observations would be null correct?
So I guess what I'm saying is should I wait to mix it up until I have the higher quality castings and or leaf mold or just do it now and add the high quality castings and or leaf mold as a top dress at some point throughout the grow?
Too many factors always to consider in this line of work I feel!
