Bail of dirt ( 3.8 cu.ft. ) ( major component: Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss (70-75% by volume), Perlite, Dolomitic and Calcitic Limestone, wetting agent, Mycorrhizae )
about 1.5 cu.ft. dirt from my compost

2.5 lbs Guano ( roughly half of a 2.2kilo bag )
5 lbs Flower Power mix from Welcome Harvest Farm 4-10-4 ( fish meal, bone meal, greensand, canola seed meal, langbeinite, kelp meal, rock phosphate )
2.5 lbs Fish & Crab from Welcome Harvest Farm 8-5-1
2.5 lbs Neem Cake 4-3-2

about 100ml tea compost mixed with water that I pored on the pile of super soil after I watered it.

To come: 30liters of castings worm and 2 tbsp Humic Acid

and Thats it!

Now the Super soil is sitting on a tarp, Should I cover it or leave it expose to the sun? it will be sitting there for 30+days.

Its my first time growing organic, second time growing... I appreciate any advice, ... I especially want to know if this is going to be a successful super soil! Thanks in advance

i would cover it with a black tarp, for heat, and be sure to stir your pile weekly-ish for best results.
one thing i would add is Crushed Oyster Shell, as a liming agent. it is normally sold as chicken feed, so look for it in 40lb feed sacks. (very cheap)
i normally add around 1 cup per cubic foot (7gallons) but it is very slow release so dont be afraid of adding more.
sounds like your gonna do fine!

ps, i like the fish/crab meal, and the neem cake is highly under appreciated.

Thanks for your answer! I actually had a bunch of oster shell and random shell in my compost ... they werent really crushed though. The pile of dirt is wet and covered! It look so good!! I am makin the grow room right now, I wish I could share with other rollitupers but for some reason I cannot upload pictures anymore...
