Recharge in super soil?

I’m making a small batch of super soil in a Tupperware bowl. Im not following a specific recipe just going for it here’s everything I’m using

Kelp meal 1-0.1-2
Blood meal 12-0-0
Seaweed fertilizer granule 0.5-3-30
Alfalfa meal 2.5-0.5-2.5
Fish meal 8-6-0
Neem meal 6-1-2
Fish bone meal 3-16-0
Crab shell meal 2-3-0 crab meal 4-3-0
Oyster shell meal no npk 35% calcium
Gypsum calcium and sulfur loosens clay soil
Gaia Glacial rock dust Magnesium, Calcium, Trace Minerals
Bat guano 9-3-1
Azomite 0-0-0.2
Worm casting earthworm 1-0-0
Bio live 5-4-2

Total NPK- 49.5-36.6-39.7

This is just for seedling stage when I put into bigger pots I’m using liquid nutes no additional super soil inside so I don’t burn plants I’ve also added some broken eggshells and milk mixed with water

Can I add recharge to the soil or will it out compete other microbes already in there? Thanks in advance

P.S I’m making this batch for next year so it will be cooking for about 9 months or so I don’t want microbes to starve and die off either

Where would you expect these microbes to come from out of this recipe?

The soil has some I also used bio live this is from their site
“Down To Earth™ Bio-Live™ 5-4-2 is a rich, organic fertilizer featuring a unique blend of premium marine byproducts infused with a diverse mixture of beneficial microorganisms that improve resource utilization and enhance nutrient uptake. Select mycorrhizal fungi and bacterial species rapidly colonize the rhizosphere and surrounding soil.”

Its been working I made a batch that went anaerobic (smelt like shit) then added some fresh dirt to soak up the water it stopped smelling like a sewer then smelt like fish at first then earthy, from my research this is how super soil is suppose to smell
The reason this happened is because the aerobic microbes work faster than the anaerobic and out competed them which is why I’m not sure about recharge and if the microbes will starve the death

Feed your beneficials with simple sugars. Treat it like yeast with bread. It doesn’t take much at all. Then use your Recharge just before using your fresh soil. Good luck. You’ll have an easier time growing with such soil.

Suggest a tablespoon of molasses in a gallon of water to feed your friendlies. Once a month.

Added molasses today thanks so it’s good now until next year think I should I let it breath? it had mold and smells like rotten eggs cause of the shells breaking down. It’s filled to the very top I can barley get the top to stay on

It needs turning occasionally. Let it age now. Aeration helps keep unwanted bacteria at bay and lets the friendlies thrive.
