Outdoor Soil Mix so far...

So this is what I've got - let me know if I'm overdoing it cause I don't wanna screw up.

-Composted Horse/Chicken manure. So far I've ordered 4 50 pound bags but might get more
-Peat Moss
-Blood Meal
-Bone Meal
-Guano
-Myco
-Azomite
-Humic Acid
-Perlite
-Vermiculite
-Dolomite Lime

Is this mix going to be too hot? I'm more than likely going to add native soil/loam to it. But, if I can use even less than this that'd be ideal cause it's getting expensive. I've got a fair amount of seeds so I was thinking about doing a bunch of 6 gallon buckets in a relatively small area. The native soil isnt awesome butim gonna bury the bottoms and have fairly large holes drilled in the bottom for roots.

Nice Mix..I'm using premium Blk dirt mixed with sunshine mix. For amendments I use Earthworm castings, Alfalfa, kelp, bone meal, lime, and Piranha. I like to add organic tea weeks before transplanting.
simple organic brewed Tea(5gal)
R/O water
1cup of alfalfa meal
1 cup of EWC
Liquid sea weed
black strap molasses
piranha or myco
Try using alfalfa instead of Blood meal and a few bags of earthworm castings won't hurt. EWC can also be used for brewing teas

hey man, if you are going to be drilling holes in the pots for the roots to grow out why not just dig some holes and plant them in the ground?

Besides a larger possible yield you will also not have to water as often and it will be harder to overwater/overfeed a plant that is in the ground

Well I have half of my plants going into the ground, but where I'm putting buckets the soil sucks so I'm thinking if I let it use the 6 gallons of dirt to get big then it can make its way into the crappy stuff. You know? But, I might just dig a hole too, it's tough to haul the dirt.
