FROM MY FB FRIEND TRYCHOME CHAMP:
It's a soil mixing kind of day!! I use a basic soil mixture for my small seedlings and clones inspired by Koma years ago. Once my girls go into their large 10 gallon pots they are transplanted into a 50/50 blend of my Vegetative mix and Subcool's Super Soil Recipe. Most people would layer the super soil on bottom and veg mix on top, I do not. I completely mix my dirt even and pot directly into the dirt with no buffer. Every time I transplant a clone or pot a seedling I always use Roots Organics Oregonism XL! Grow your own Tryk'd Out Medz!!!
Vegetative soil mixture ~ 2 cubic ft Happy Frog Soil
4-8 Cups of High Quality Worm Castings
4-8 Cups of Ancient Forest
2-4 Tablespoons of Roots Organics Oregonism XL

Compost recipe: from my FB friend Hans:
Compost recipe: from my FB friend Hans:
Smart composting: This 7 yard composter has produced 110 yards of compost since 1987 and I never turned the material in the process. The walls are made of galvanized chicken wire on a steel frame.This filling is composed of stratified layering of alternating coarse and highly organic material. Here you see 50 pounds of corn and flour tortillas as the top layer. For an activator I fill a 5 gallon bucket with salt and grease free kitchen slop, let it ripen for a week then pour the solution evenly over the compost and hose it in deep. This method does not stink or attract house flies.The trick is to keep rich material spread thin. For a optimum mineral blend use roughly equal amounts of tree leaves and annuals. Dallas sits on the Austin Chalk sea bed which is short of manganese and this is apparent in the poor pecan crops so I add manganese to the compost. -- The vine on the fence is a very rare Chili Piquin from Raymondville, Texas. I have not found it in any references. If anyone has knowledge of a reference please send it to me.
