OUTDOORS 2020

Toads are great for a garden, not only do they show a healthy ecosystem for the toads, but they eat potentially harmful insects, larvae, slugs and snails. Pretty neat you've got natures pest control working for you.

Looks like a ph issue. If you are growing in straight promix in a hole in the ground the dirt around the plant seeps into the promix, promix has lime to balance the ph. The soil will throw the promix out of whack. If you use straight promix outdoors it should be in a planter and dug down into the ground to keep the root system from heating to much. If you dont have a soil ph tester you should get one to know where your at. The plant will keep getting worse unless you figure this out. Cheers

That should work just fine! I usually like to add a bag of coco and extra perlite to my super soils if I’m mixing bags but the pro mix hp should work in place of the coco. If you’re planing on making teas buy a air pump from Amazon for 35-$45 and a nice air stone. You can easily make a nice tea from your worm castings, recharge and Mother Earth! Just add the recharge as your catalyst, then add your compost, and then add the Mother Earth. Let it all aerate for 24-48hr, make sure you stir it occasionally to prevent anaerobic/stagnant areas. Since you’re using recharge you will not have to use any molasses at all, especially because it already has granulated molasses in the powder. If you ever want a great living soil/super soil recipe then here it is: The ratio is 1:1:1 1 Part Media (75% Canna Coco, 25% Peat Moss) 1 Part Compost (50% Worm Castings or Vermicimpost, 25% Ancient Forest Humus Compost, 25% Oly Mountain Fish Compost or local organic compost) if you are in Michigan like me Dairy Doo is good local brand for organic compost and worm castings. 1 Part Aeration (50% Chunky Perlite, 20% Pumice, 15% Volcanic Rock, 10% Rice Hulls, 5% Bio-Char) You can then add 1tbsp of Recharge to the soil for every cubic foot. Be sure to only add the recharge when you are just about to plant because Myco needs roots in order to survive! I also like to add trace minerals, basalt to add paramagnetism and sometimes aloe powder and yucca extract to break surface tension and prevent the soil from becoming hydroponic. From there I use acct tea’s, liquid organic nutrients or dry powdered nutrients to replenish the food source for the plants and microbes! BuildASoil and KIS Organics also sell pre made dry amendments to fill your soil with nutrients but I have found that this soil I very balance if you plan to regularly feed. Keep in mind this is not a water only soil that is extremely hot and doesn’t need nutrients, this soil needs to be fed but specifically the microbes because they are feeding your plant in exchange for sugars, starches, etc.
