Making Your Own Organic Soil

Making your own organic soil

1. Set out a 3-foot by 3-foot square in a spare space in your backyard.
2. Cover the area with a thick layer of dry leaves or straw to a 4-inch thickness.
3. Add a 4-inch layer of material full of nitrogen such as coffee grounds or manure.
4. Over that add a half-inch layer of blood and bone.
5. Continue to repeat steps 2 to 4 until the whole thing is 3 feet high.
6. Leave the whole thing to decompose.
7. Turn it all over once a week at a minimum and no more often than every three days.
8. It is ready to use when it composts into a dark, crumbly, sweet smelling soil.

Making your own cannabis-fertilizer mix

1. Get out a tarp or kid’s swimming pool. The swimming pool is a great option as it will contain the material to mix it.
2. Put in a 1-inch layer of your organic fertilizer across the bottom.
3. Scatter a scoop of mycorrhizae (a fungus) and coco fibers across the top.
4. Now add the following:
   1. 750 grams of rock phosphate
   2. ¼ of a cup of azomite to add trace elements
   3. ½ a cup of dolomite lime
   4. 1/8 of a cup of Epsom salts
   5. tablespoon of humic acid.
5. Cover with another 1-inch layer of your homemade soil.
6. Spread 1 kilogram of bat guano over the top.
7. Add another 1-inch layer of soil.
8. Next add 1 kilogram of steamed of bone meal.
9. Add another 1-inch layer of soil.
10. Mix everything together with a spade.
11. Fill garbage bins to three quarters full with the mixture.
12. Fill each garbage can with around 2½ gallons of water.
13. Leave to sit in the sun for 30 days.
