Hello brock1, well it starts with compost for what I use many but very useful
plants to made good fertilizer/grow medium/soil...compost.
In that compost I made seedlings and use if outdoor soil is bad.
Right now I have about 2m3 of composted materials, just need 7-9 months
to compost be ready...what will be somewhere at Mar or Apr 2010.
After finished composting , compost goes mixed with 1/3 of wood compost
little sand and perlite...after that its ready to be used, reach with nutrients and enough airly.
So, more less I will have about 3m3 of grow medium or about
3000L of grow medium.
At growing I use tea or call that whatever you want.
In the barel of 50L I put water and nettle about ,hmmm dont know in kilograms,
1/2 of that barel of 50L.Of course nettle is cutted on small pieces.
Also in sam barel I put 3kg of rice.
All taht need to sit for about 3-4 weeks.
After 3-4 weeks I use that tea 1:10 or 1:5 to watering/fertilize plants 3-4 times per grow ... veg & flow.
Well its stinks like a hell but its very good fretilizer
Research little about org feeding but all what you need to use is cow manure, nettle, alfalfa, fish and rice.
If you have Bat Guano its even better.
I use No Mercy bat guano.
Hope this helps to you.
