How about giving us your soil recipe?

We'd like to make some stickies with useful information that the average grower could benefit from.

PG's Recipe

1 bail of BX Pro-Mix
1 bag of cow manure
1 bag of mushroom compost
1 bag of shrimp compost
3 cups of bone meal
3 cups of blood meal
1 cup of lime

Cost=$40.00 CAN

Thepizzaguy · 03-08-2008, 02:37 AM

Mg Potting Soil, MG Top Soil, Bone Meal and manure. All stuff laying around the garage. Maybe 10 bucks max if store bought.

Cerebro · 03-08-2008, 04:57 AM

1 bag regular potting mix
1/3 bag worm castings
1/3 bag mushroom compost
2 cups Seamungus - slow release seaweed pellets with humates.
2 cups slow release organic pellets - containing manure, fish, blood n bone.
1 cup dolomite lime
Topped with 5cm Lucerne
$30 AUD

generic_hippie · 03-08-2008, 08:43 AM

1X60 liter compressed block of coco-peat, (expands with water, comes pre-fertilized),
15 liters of perlite
5 liters of clay beads in the bottom of the containers to allow for better drainage.

$10 + $5 + $5 = $20 total

I also use a coco-peat specific nutrient for when the fert runs out, (this can cost as little as $20 for a no-frills brand, or as much as $30 (per 2 liters of undiluted) for a brand name like Canna.

i need help with my soil, what should and how much should of it i mix?
i have a 10L bag of "Dutch Treat Perlite", a bag of worm castings, peat moss, and a bag of expensive manure/soil. Is it worth it if i go and buy a box of bone meal? and any company/maker of bone meal okay?
edit: oh and what about Limes??

btw- this is for my small seedlings/clones/week 0/1 plants.
thanks again

SmokeToBeHappy · 07-01-2008, 07:17 PM

This isn't as crazy and homemade as the rest of yours but heres go.

1 part miracle all purpose potting soil
2 parts regular backyard soil

It is very simple and uses miracle which is something most people hate. However for me at least it grew very nice vigorous plants so far.

I'd get the bone/blood meal combo. Use 5 cups for the amount of soil you indicated. The horticultural lime..........use 1 cup.

stoneric · 07-02-2008, 12:53 PM

Soiless: 50% worm castings
25% Perlite
25% vermiculite
pinch of bloodmeal
pinch of lime
pinch of bonemeal (later when topping off pot)

Soil: 60% organic soil
20% worm castings
10% Perlite
10% vermiculite
pinch of bloodmeal
pinch of lime
pinch of bonemeal (later when topping off pot)

Ferts: earth juice grow
earth juice bloom
Dr. Hornby's big bud

This is for indoors.
