BuildASoil Complete Soil Building Nutrient Kit

BEWARE of other Coots Mixes that don't reveal the source of ingredients or the amounts in the kit. Many people can make a "Coot Kit" but we are the Original and are approved by Clackamas Coot himself. This Recipe is inspired by and credited to Mr. "ClackamasCoots" aka "LumperDawgz". I have always wanted to offer a nutrient kit in the style of ClackamasCoots. This nutrient kit is proven. It works because it is such a simple and affordable starting point to base your soil from. Use this kit and our free DIY nutrient E-Book and you will have healthy soil and healthy plants.

Selecting the Right Nutrient Kit:

• 2.2 CF Bale Kit - Mix into a 2.2 CF Bale of Peat Moss plus 3 Cubic Feet of Compost and 3 Cubic Feet of Aeration.
• 3.0 CF Bale Kit - Mix into a 3.0 CF Bale of Peat Moss plus 4.67 Cubic feet of Compost and 4.67 Cubic feet of Aeration. (Most people will round up or down to the nearest Cubic Foot)
• 3.8 CF Bale Kit - Mix into 3.8 CF Bale of Peat Moss plus 6 Cubic Feet of Compost and 6 Cubic Feet of Aeration. Mix and then let sit for 1-2 weeks before planting.

What you'll be getting in this BuildASoil Complete Soil Building Kit:

Nutrients:
(Use at 2.5 Cups Per cubic foot of soil or about 5-6 Tablespoon per gallon of soil)

• 1. Crustacean Meal - Crab and Shrimp
• 2. Kelp Meal - Thorvin Organic Icelandic kelp
• 3. Neem Cake/Karanja Cake 70/30 - West Coast Hort. Neem and Ahimsa Karanja
• 4. Milled Malted Barley - Premium Organic 2 Row Malted Barley

Minerals:
(Use at 4 Cups Per Cubic foot of soil or about 1/2 Cup per gallon of soil)

• 1. BuildASoil Basalt - Our Favorite Rock Dust for trace minerals. Highly paramagnetic.
• 2. Gypsum Dust - Calcium and Sulfur
• 3. Oyster Shell Flour - Calcium Carbonate - Adds available calcium and limes the Peat moss.

We separate the two so that the natural moisture in the rock dust doesn't effect the raw nutrients. Dump all the material into your soil for the proper mineral and nutrient balance.

What You'll Need To Get To Finish The Recipe:
To finish this recipe you will need equal parts of the below,

• 1 Part Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss: Available in 2.2 Cubic Foot Bales, 3.0 Cubic Foot Bales and 3.8 Cubic Foot Bales at Home Depot and most gardening stores. Notice: The 2.2 Bale will fluff up to about 3.0 Cubic Feet, the 3.0 Bale will fluff up to about 4.67 Cubic Feet (Most people will round up or down to the nearest Cubic Foot) and the 3.8 Bale will fluff to about 6 Cubic Feet.
• 1 Part High Quality Compost or Worm Castings: Search for local compost or castings on craigslist or order some here on our website. If opting to use worm castings, we advise using only 5-15% of the 33% total compost due to the potential for sodium excess.
• 1 Part Aeration Amendment: Something to aerate the soil like perlite does in normal potting mix. We like to use Pumice and Rice hulls but you can use whatever is available to you including perlite, rice hulls, lava rock, pumice etc.

You'll notice there isn't any High P ingredient like Soft Rock Phosphate or Fish Bone Meal and after speaking with Coot about this I realized a few things. This Kit has many ingredients that contain Phosphorous at normal levels which will not be harmful to Mycorrhizal fungi. High P amendments can have a negative effect on the soil Mycorrhizal life, for this reason Coot recommends using this recipe.
