Everything ive read says you should leave the soil mix for a few weeks before using it or risk burning but I don't think I can do that as it's nearly august now. So could i apply the bone as a tea instead
Finally if this was you what proportions would you use?
Im guessing for 42 gallons
1 part castings
1 part leaf compost
2 parts coco
A bit of sawdust
2 cups lime
2 oz humic acid
Thanks
Yes let the mix cook for a month or so at minimum, anything under will probably cause burn... No, you can't make bone meal tea, it has to be put into the soil to be properly broken down and that takes about 2 weeks to do so. If looking for a high P source get some Jamaican bat guano, it's 0-10-0 and can easily be made into a tea, it's pretty hot stuff, use sparingly.
To answer you honestly No, I wouldn't mix that up.you need to simplify. I'm not a coco hater but it works better for me when using bottled synths (which I don't do anymore.)
I'd trade the coco out for some good ol' fashioned peat moss. It'll go..
1part peat moss
1part perlite
1 part earth worm castings
1 cup lime per 1.5 cu foot of mix.
Water with a alfalfa/ kelp tea and you're golden.
