Hawaii Healing Tree

Artikel-Schlagworte: „recipe“

Aloha friends and thumbs! Back to give my recipe for how I recycle my soil in what I call the 808 Quick mix. This should be slightly adjusted if you are in other parts of the world as I am making a tropical mix for a quick dry in moist or tropical environments.( key tip: keep soil light- add more sponge rock or perlite if you are in extremely moist environments ) This mix works well indoors but may need a few components for west coast growers, as you will notice I do not add Epsom Salt.

808 Quick Mix

1.5 yards recycled soil from pots

** shake old root system from old soils and discard**

10-15 lbs Earth worm castings
1 to 2 - 1 lb bag niu sponge rock or perlite
1/4 cup trace elements
1 1/2 cups Alfalfa meal
1 cup Kelp meal
1-1/2 cup Blood meal
1- 1/2 cup Bone Meal
1 cups Mexican Bat Guano
1/2 cup jamaican Bat Guano
1/4 cup Indonesian Bat Guano
1/4 cup granular Humic Acid
1/4 cup fine ground myccrohyzea

** I usually add about 1/2-1 cup garden lime or 1 cup of oyster shells as to adjust my ph up, If you need a down ph I suggest change the ph of water or use a Aluminum Sulfate of some kind, but I have checked my bucket of soil before I recycled to get an average ph of my soil medium after a season and a flush. I like a neutral soil Ph of around 6.5-7 **

Remember this is a quick mix, I de-root and mix ingredients well and start using immediately after. So good planting and farming.

rice water EM

Aloha thumbs and friends. I am back to give one of my biggest secrets away, it is my own homemade root inoculate or EM™/BAM(beneficial active microorganism) made with rice water, milk and sugar. There are many shelf bought version for ridiculous pricing, for those with the little know how to make ones own. House & Garden makes Root Accelerator,Hygrozyme, Sensizyme, Advanced Nutrients Voodoo Juice are some of the high priced products that my own home culture works as well as or even in some cases has even worked better. I know many growers that would not even think of culturing their own or even would have the know how to, but I offer you my knowledge for your own frugal organic gardening purposes. Not to mention how I have talked about recycling and composting with worms, now I will introduce you to the Japanese form of Bokashi Composting or fermenting and how to make your own home made cheap alternative Bokashi Buckets and Bokashi mix.
