@donnie700, I wrote up this example soil recipe for someone else earlier ill share it with you. This is a basic soil recipe: To make 15 gallons of soil (1/3) 5 gallons- compost/wormcastings (1/3) 5 gallons- coco coir and or peat moss (1/3) 5 gallons- aeration (perlite or popped glass) This right here will be the bulk of your soil, now you need to add your nutrients Some simple math 1 cubic foot = ~7.5 gallons---->15 gallons = 2 cubic feet Add two cups per cubic foot of lime or calcium to your soil, for this example would be 4 cups now in a 1:1 ratio mix your nutrients in a bucket EXAMPLE (fish meal, kelp meal, neam meal, crab meal) You would mix 1 cup all of those nutrients in a bucket. After you mix them together, add ~1 cup of the mix per cubic foot to your soil. For this example you would add two cups of the mix into your soil. Blend all of these ingredients together thoroughly on a tarp. Add water to it or even better compost tea as you are mixing. After finished mixing and getting it wet, your soil is almost complete. you should allow 3-4 weeks for your soil to "cook". This means letting the micro-organisms multiply and begin to break down the nutrients and organic matter. After 4 weeks there will be sufficient nutrients available for plants to immediately use. Once your plant is introduced the soil food web will be complete and everything should thrive. This is a water only soil recipe, compost tea and clean water free of chloramine is all you need to get all the way to harvest.
