So I been sitting here looking at soil and ways to make my own soil.
I was thinking of buy a lot of Perlite, coco fiber, manure to mix in with gathered top soil (dirt) found in nature. Well actually a lot more of randomness as well.
But, I am interested now in mostly using the resources around me. I have the whole forest to help me out, I'm sure I could find most of it there.
So I am trying to find substitutes for things like perlite, cocofiber, ect. I have looked at loads of sites and everyone seems to run to the store. I know that I may need to get things like lime, kelp, worm casting, trace elements, blood meal, bone meal to add into the soil.
Please give me your opinion for making my own soil more my own soil from my natural surroundings?
