    Default Country's, so what's in your soil?

    Started my pile with grass clippings about 2 cubic feet worth, 1/2 bail of straw then added the following:
    16 cups earthworm casting, 1 cup azomite, 1 1/2 cups of kelp, 2 cups bone meal, 2 cups blood meal, 1/4 cup molasses, 2 cans beer, 1/4 cup lime, 1 cup doctor Earth's home grown organics with mycorrhizae. I allowed that to cook over last winter.
    Ran that for my white widow grow which wasn't the greatest. I over done something idk. Well when she finished I added the soil to my compost pile.
    My compost consist of all table scrapes, straw, cardboard, paper, bones, meats, anything my kids didn't eat basically. I'm terrible at never measuring a darn thing but it works for me. I just try and keep thing in proportion and balanced best I can.

    I've enjoyed my current grow which is a exotic seeds green gummy, I've given nothing but water the whole grow!

    There are some mistakes here with compost and promoting bacterial soils which canna needs mate.

    Im not gonna get into it coz you may disagree as I know others may but if you would like any input or opinion then let me know.

    Ive been doing my compost for a year and I still wouldnt use it inside mate no chance LOL. I will however be using it next year when I am satisfied that it is on point and aerobic .

    Compost is complicated, if ya say different then you need to read more IMO. Anyone can make a general compost but a canna compost for our babies is herculean task

    But then what do I know lol

    The soil has a krebs cycle the same as humans, if you feed a human rubbish from the bin what happens ?

    Canna same mate, a good compost should have diet much like Gwyneth Paltrow although no need for vaginal washing

    Thanks for sharing. I see no problem using outdoor compost I do and it works great.

    IMO drop the bones, meats and any diary or oils from your pile. I would wait until the compost is ready then add ypur ammendments. 2-3 cups of ammendments per cubic feet (max) of your mix (which you should add some perlite or pumice to for aeration). Could also add some peat or coco for water retention but good compost should cover that.

    I disgree with Gaz though, composting doesnt have to be complicated. You can cold compost too just takes a lot longer but the end product is better although it'll be full of viable seeds. Save your expensive ammendments for your final mix.

    Idk guys my compost is doing its job pretty good I think. Even my seeding is placed directly into it and if you look you'll see the white fuzz myco on top of the soil.
    It comes and goes with watering and girls look great
