[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 5028591, member: 15365"] Ive grown some amazing plants in straight mushroom compost and 50/50 with aged pine fines. Last year i had so many Scorpion, Brown Reapers and Death Spiral i could not begin to use all of them. All three varieties were just loaded with pods by mid July. Your local weather conditions will play a huge part in what mixes you can get away with using. I can grow in a mix of 40% compost, 40% aged pine fines and 20% rice hulls like its going out of style. It can rain its butt off without a care in the world. That mix works awesome in hard pots or grow bags but you need to water the grow bags more often. In a place like Texas though you probably would not want that mix. If you grow any beans dont give them nitrogen. You will just get huge bean plants. I grow Liana yard long beans. Its a type of Asian long bean. I plant them and aside from watering i dont give them anything but a good soil to start in. Save all shells from shrimp, lobster, crab, crawfish ect ect. Its one of the best things you can give most plants. Aside from the obvious nutrients like nitrogen and calcium they also have chitosan. Bad microbes dont like it. For a calcium suppliment i use calcium acetate. Its just calcium carbonate treated with acetic acid. Unlike normal calcium sources, the calcium is readily available to your plants. It wont raise your soil pH like other sources can. You can buy calcium acetate in bulk at supplement outlets for as low as $25/kilo. Save all coffee grounds too. Your worms will LOVE it. Start a compost pile and feed is regularly. Its a bit late to start it now for this coming season. Mine has been cooking since last spring. [/QUOTE]
