The Dons' Organic Garden

Organics is really amazing. Nature is amazing. The fact that plants and animals and the planet itself breaks down and creates endless various gardening amendments, and that forests and marshes and bogs can turn into things like biochar and lignite, (compressed peat, to the point it becomes coal) I mean, nature just has a way of keeping on moving forward no matter what..

never mind spewing em out of volcanoes in vast supply.. perlite, pumice, basalt, glacial rock dust

Plus what the oceans, rivers, tectonic plates / mountains and forests do for us.. big blessings.

then on the micro level, damn, imagine being able to communicate via fungal networks that are unicellular subways for nutrients and water, multiple times your above ground biomass..

with myco fungi (AMF) that develop symbiotic relationships with your roots, that can attract and kill root eating nematodes, in various ways.. it just gets better the more you learn, its so fkn interesting.

Officially Releasing my old 'Rasta Blend' recipe now that I'm totally revamping our recipe and incorporating the ideal amendments at last.

Over the time, there's been a lot of ppl asking for it, so if it can help you make soil easier, faster, all the power to you, many less ingredients than The Dons' first recipe, 10 less to be exact.

To some, may seem a tad controversial but wholistically speaking and health speaking, and simplicity and speed speaking, it was a no brainer upgrade for us :) Not to mention cleaner and smoother and a tad more potent.

On the Go Mix
No Finished Compost necessary (Interim solution)
No leaf compost needed per se
No rotting wood needed per se

streamlined Improvements:

No Blood Meal (hormones, antibiotics)
No Bone Meal (disease pathogens)
No Steamed bone meal
No Feather Meal (above)
No rock phosphate
No soft Rock Phosphate
No dol lime
No peat
No guanos
No all purpose fertilizers
No Oyster Shell Flour (Carbonates)
Switch to Shell Crab Meal at least, if not Shrimp Meal
No Turkey Litter / Chicken Manure (above)
No Commercial Steer manure
Switch to higher quality, more potent castings with more humics, fulvics, and bene-bacteria
Optional: add 10% Organic Free range cow manure, or urine free rabbit manure to total volume


Plus the Meal Mix received a heavy tweaking:

2x Alfafa (TRIA hormone) 1 cup per cu ft
2x Neem (P, repellent oils, for resiliency, output & more) 1 cup per cu ft
~5x Kelp (Mg, Fe and 60 traces, for potency & much more) 2.4 cups per cu ft = 2% tot vol


Goals to aim for (no play):

10-15% castings, 15 max, not 33, fresh, vegan, living, fed a balanced diet of mixed greens, fruits, & avocados, etc.

45% aeration

At least 2% biochar (charged), if not 5 to 10%

2" (inch) top dress of DE Rocks (Si source, pest barrier, and more)

Now to mix:

Take well rinsed, pithy, fluffy, Coco fibre &
Vigoro Black Earth High Humus (Non Peat) Soil ($3 per bag at Home Depot)

^ Combine- Equal parts ^

Then combine above mix with aeration mix

^ Again, about equal part ^ keeping end goal in mind that 9 : 11 ratio or 45% end goal ^

(Aeration Mix: Aim for at least one porous rock i.e. mineral based like pumice or lava rock, & one spongy decompacting type, i.e. plant based like leaf combo, rice, coco, or buckwheat hulls, remembering the more wild or organic the better, as they do spray a bit)

Then add your fresh worm castings, also aerated as to keep that 45% balance.

Now you have a quick but solid base. Lots of humus, lots of life. Coco, vigoro humus, aeration

To the above, ADD:

Minerals,

Main Goal: Glacial Rock / Blue Metal / Paramagnetic Dust, 4 cups per cu ft
Greensand, 1 cup per cu ft
Technically unnessecary but good Optional additions: Basalt, gypsum, (perhaps even langbeinite, limestone)

Meals, per cubic foot

2.4 cups kelp meal
1 cup neem meal
1 cup alfafa meal
1/2 cup, shrimp meal

Shopping List / Short List
  1. Vigoro Black Earth Humus Rich Soil
  2. Botanicaire Well Rinsed Organic Coir
  3. Aeration 1 (Pumice and or Lava Rock)
  4. Aeration 2 (Hulls or leaf compost)
  5. DE Rocks
  6. Neem Meal
  7. Kelp Meal
  8. Alfafa Meal
  9. Shrimp Meal (or Shell Crab)
  10. Glacial Rock Dust
  11. Myco Fungi
  12. Greensand
Free Items (DIY / local trade or gather, etc) Clean organic Manure, sequestered carbon/Biochar, Fresh Worm Castings, eggshells (apply eggshells @ 1 Cup per cu ft)

Super simple recipe but its all you really need. Insect frass is another good one to have on hand for auto immune responses but you can make lacto bacillus for free too, or BIM / bokashi etc etc some kind of anti-pathogen / natural pest killer

Then just supplement the grow with a timely bacterial dom microbe tea (upon start of flower) , a timely fungal dom tea (couple weeks in), and a few well timed mineral foliars (just before/as flowers appear), for peak performance. Can foliar twice a day with lacto or tea too, before flowers arrive, the bene bacteria can eat bugs from the outside in, break them down.

NOTE
This beats the old 22 ingredient recipe in a lot of ways

Im positive that our new 22 ingredient recipe will out perform this one and the original Vamp Blend, but this is a high performance, high flavour, low pathogen, killer recipe not to be underestimated either. Great for chemo patients and cancer patients alike, or anyone with compromised immune systems.

. Can really handle a sat dom tomato and takes only half the work to get going.. of course, making well rounded compost is the best and easiest, but that takes time, about 2 years proper space and planning to do it bang on, so this has tremendous speed advantages for anyone in a less than ideal timeframe or situation.

Blessings from the Dons to all the pioneers, breeders, caregivers, and herbalists..

Spread love and cannabinoids

@Oldfashioned here is the organic Rasta blend in action, under LED lights, only about 120w, no Co2, no myco I'm pretty sure, and water only.. no ferts no foliars. Was going for super clean smoke.

this is end of wk 4, topped once btw, one plant, 5 gal or 7 gal, oh and its SourDz bagseed. Got about 3zips of super high grade. I will load a macro of the finished product too it was nicer than anything I could buy in dispensaries in Van, and I went to about 25 or 30 :)

Well its not supersoil, technically, its an amendment pack,

someone correct me if I'm wrong but, they should not mix the ingredients, they will start to activate each other and eat each other, essentially, so mixing date becomes imperative in that one.

However, if its going to save you $400 or something, then I can see the benefit, reason, and temptation.

The seperate one, though, yeah thats better, brotha, allows you to make teas and watch plants and react accordingly. How much is that one? And can you load a link please to the site?? Thanks!

Much love!!

I like that second site you said, OGS
They have pumice and rice hulls, very cool

Complex sugars, hormones, amino acids though.. sounds bit like coco nut water.. cheap cheap

humic and fulvic acids, sounds like fresh worm castings.. also cheap cheap (and very powerful)

but yeah I like to see those premium aeration ingredients.. that says something
