SkunkPharm Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Quite the thread revival, I know. So who all is using this soil and how is it performing? Do you just chuck the ingredients together in a big bin and close it and leave it outside? Does it need sun or heat? Any modifications to the recipe? Freedom Farms soil has become popular, perhaps that's instead or? Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk I have a similar mix it is on par with freedom farms if not better. It takes time to make, but it is worth it.Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeS Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 So I've bought majority of the ingredients, just a couple i'm struggling to find. Mycoroot, Volcanic rock dust, Rock phosphate, Mushroom compost Any ideas in JHB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Mushroom compost is abundant in the cape as DoubleGrow produces it there. Maybe there's a doublegrow stockist in JHB(contact doublegrow) but I found theses guys who appear to have a nursery in Midrand. Give them a call and see if they have https://www.stanlerfarms.co.za/ Speak to these guys about where their product is stocked (rock dust) http://turbo-grow.co.za/ Rock phosphate you may have to get online. It's not something you'll find at every nursery. Perhaps you could order the rock dust and phosphate online 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaskar09 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I’m outside PTA (Cullinan area), most nurseries stock mushroom compost but let me know if you can’t find any, I buy about 20 cubes a year so you’re welcome to a bucket or two if you’re willing to come and get it. It’ll be cheaper to just get it at a nursery if you take fuel into consideration though. The rest of the stuff you’ll have to get online or at GTHydro in Fourways. I’ve phoned around quite a bit and couldn’t find any nurseries that stocks them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeS Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Finally got everything and got around to mixing it, quite a satisfying task. And i think the end product looks fantastic. Can't wait to grow with this, thinking it needs something special. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smelly Joe Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Where do you find Seamungus in Cape Town... All the other ingredients I can get but can't seem to find that one ingredient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemic Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) I found it at builders. Although I'll add that you can quite easily cut it out as an ingredient without effecting the soil really.

Breadinator Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Atlantic Bio Ocean (Builders warehouse) seems like a good alternative to Seamungus. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemic Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 That is a perfect substitute for the kelp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelly Joe Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Thanx for the help guys. Now I can start getting all the ingredients together.

Smelly Joe Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Well my plan is to double or even triple up on the recipe so basically everything times 2 or 3 Hydroponic.co.za stocks 200g and 1kg packets. I want go for the 1kg but would also like to know what the correct quantities are.... But if the whole price price thing is an issue to make a huge batch then I'll 1st go for the single batch and just work up from there. I haven't gotten my dry goods yet cause I don't want to let it sit for to long without being used. That's just a callout for small creatures to come and scratch and nibble. Especially on that rabbit food. My plan is to get all the dry goods end of the month and mix it. Then I want to leave it until next seasons grow to mature and just become gold Edited February 12, 2020 by Smelly Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemic Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Its a 200g sachet that I use. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I found that instead of using brown sugar as a food source for the microbes you can use cooked brown rice as a substitute. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have managed to source most of the things I need, Totemic maybe you can help me here. I can't track down the Lucerne. I tried a few pet shops but they all seem to be selling either like a rabbit muesli or a mix that has a bit of lucerne in but also corn, sunflower seeds, hay and who knows what else. I also can't track down the Taiborne. I checked their website and then tried Stodels Bellville and Milnerton. I also tried Super Plants and PnP Hyper (it says on their site they have it) None of them had. Hortishop is out of worm castings but they getting today I think. Where did you buy the Talborne and lucerne? Thanks a mil You could try Cape Garden Centre in Joostenbergvlakte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGG Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Jamie's garden shop also maybe Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 @ajcapetown I've been to Jamie's garden shop last week and he had wormcastings and alfalfa/lucerne mulch available. Maybe give them a call before you go there to make sure it's still in stock. Also saw that futurama has lot's of ingredients now. Saw they have alfalfa meal which seems to be similar to lucerne. I am busy with a similar project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart07 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I got pretty much everything from Jamie’s garden shop. The staff are really friendly as well. Highly recommend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
