Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

Hi Guys I’m looking for some advice on organic soil... I’ve got some super soil and I’m just about ready to start growing but I need some regular soil to mix through the super soil and to use in the top half of my pots.

I took a trip to Bunnings(Australia based) and a couple of garden centres today but the only soil I came across had things like wetting agents and fertilisers through it, I was hoping just to get a hold of some top quality soil with no additives whatsoever.

I even asked a couple of the workers in Bunnings and they told me all the stuff they stocked had something through It, does this seem right?

I suppose I’m looking for clarification on the best product to use along with my super soil.

I’m fairly new to this so please excuse me if this seems straight forward for most of you.

Any help much appreciated!

thanks.

I'd try to help, but I'd be worried you'd bite my ear off.

Haha, I’ve not bitten ears in a long time give me a break!

I found something organic but they all have organic fertiliser etc in them, will this interfere with my super soil?
If it's organic ferts, then cool. Just don't want the chemical shit. I'm doing no-till and use a bunch of dry amendments.

Maybe look for a seed/cutting starter mix, shouldn't be much added to that

Hey all, new here and spent a few days reading through this and the organic 101 thread, and past weeks reading from ILGM, growweedeasy, etc. I’m doing my first grow and hopefully using the techniques found here, I started a journal here. I’m limited on resources for now, if anyone can offer any advice to maximize what I already have on hand it’ll be much appreciated! Looking forward to growing with all of you, and thanks for all your insights on the forum that have helped me already.

I’ve been using Back To Nature “Cotton Burr Compost” for over 10 years. No substitute for it with other cotton waste products. Always in my mixes, always the same and always perfect moisture and no stink. Try it if you can. Not working for anyone but it has made things so much easier inside and in my ornamentals. Big nursery here uses a lot of it.

So I’m 7 days since my baby’s sprouted, I’m growing indoors and using a version of subcools soil on the bottom half of my pots and some standard organic potting mix with organic compost in the top half.

I’m growing 3x green crack autos and 3x gorilla glue autos.

I’m wondering when I should start feeding them compost tea?

Also what would the best ingredients be to use for the tea?

thanks in advance
