I usually mix my own soil using peat moss, compost, worm castings, pumice, rice hulls, and various dry ammendments. I am continually trying to simplify my grow processes. Next time instead of mixing in a bunch of different ammendments i will probably just add in bio live and maybe some extra basalt or other rock dust along with compost or worm castings. I am really hoping the Neptune's Harvest liquid nutrients work out well for me. They seem pretty easy. The organic style of growing seems to come naturally to me. To each their own. I like knowing if I take care of my soil and keep it simple, I rarely have issues.
me too... keep expectations real. I'm not an expert.
