Here’s some things I think folks should consider before using an online soil recipe and mixing your own soil.

Tad more of this style of content would be a great addition to the channel as a addon, quick and extremely informative.

I'm going to work on it for 2024. If you have any particular topics, please reach out as that is the hardest part for me. It's really just what comes to me in the moment and then I try to record something.

The KIS Organics nutrient packs are tremendous. I've been using it for multiple runs and I love the results. A+

I don't think enough discussion is spent on balancing your soils and how amendments may be antagonistic to each other. Also as we re-use our soil, not enough additional aeration or peat is added in typically. I usually top-dress with compost and amendments during my grow cycle, but I have only recently started to add in some additional pumice, rice hulls, and peat with my compost. The additional acidity of the peat helps make the Calcium in my top-dress amendments more available.

We start with around 50% peat moss in our mixes for a few reasons. I do like that the acidity of the peat allows me to use more alkaline inputs like Biochar and add more cations into the soil. I think what you're bringing up though is managing the physical properties of the soil, which is just as important as the fertility. As organic matter breaks down, you may need to add more aeration to keep the soil from becoming too compacted and draining well.

Been following you channel for a while, great information, could you please give some guide lines what the EC range of living soil runoff should be or is there any other way to check the EC, thanks.

When looking for a good compost what’s the best way to tell it’s good? If a compost company has it tested what should you look for in those tests? Thanks! Keep up the great work! ✌️🎄

That's probably another video but quickly I want to see a balanced C:N ratio and good pH and balance of fertility. Ideally you'd throw it under a microscope too and see what microbial activity there is. And I'm making the assumption it's properly composted and free of pathogens and pests.

Is there a good at home soil test? That I could buy.
@kisorganics7 ай бұрын
Unfortunately the at home tests are not very accurate and it's much better to send it in to a lab for testing. Sometimes your local university extension will have a better price but it's important to use the same lab every time so you can compare data. We use Logan Labs and offer their tests on our website if you decide to go that route.
