    Haha mate, no not at all. The connection between humans and plants are vital for the plants health. It just shows that you care about them, no shame in that bud.

    So far my soil recipe is....

    1L Verve
    2L worm castings
    3L moorland gold
    2L perlite
    1L Rice husks
    5 tbsp Kelp meal
    5 tbsp neem meal
    5 tbsp crab meal
    5 tbsp malted barley
    2.5 tbsp Oyster shell flour
    2.5 tbsp Oyster shell crushed
    5 tbsp Gypsum
    10 tbsp Volcanic rock dust

    Considering adding 10% biochar and I need to get a worm bin and learn about making aerated compost teas that promote the aerobic microbes.

    Feed wise Im not sure but..

    Compost teas
    Molasses
    Top dress crushed malt barley

    Living cover crop of white and crimson clover, lupin and buckwheat.

    Still not sure when I need dry mulch but Ill suss it.

    Why are we doubling calcium with Gypsum and Oyster? I assume the crab is mostly for biome.

    Im.adding the chitin for the control of plant parasitic nematodes but also it apparently helps the fungi amd microflora levels. Please be gentle if Im wrong as Im learning.
