HELP!!-Soil Mix

I'm brand new to the Rollitup community though I've read hundreds of posts educating myself.

I have Aprox. 5-6 bags of MG soil that I mixed with Trout guts and such and tried growing tomatoes with in 5 gallon buckets with holes in the bottom. The deer are the plants and I put the buckets of soil stacked up next to my house. They have been sitting there collecting rain and leaves for 2 years and smell s little ripe.

Would there be a way to mix all this soil and such in a large plastic tote breaking it up well and adding something to the soil to make it good for a outdoor grow? (Crystals,Guano, Ect.)

I'm going to dig a couple 2x2 holes at my grow spot and was going to put the prepaired soil in the holes so the ants have what they need during growth. Also, do I need to mix the natural hole dirt with the soil mix? Any ratios of the additives and dirt would be great.

First time grower out of West Virginia.

Thanks yall & Smooth Tokinbongsmilie

There is a lot to be read concerning composting and what a live soil is. In order to keep a "hot" center your pile needs to be about 4 ft cubed, So you could dump everything into 1 big pile, add dolomite lime an cover with a tarp. Turn it every month or so to help speed up the composting. I'm from Martinsburg and heard ya'll got some snow, not the best time to be composting. Might help to pour in some hot water right before covering.
