Soil Amendment Blends
Luke A. Besmer has been making custom blends for over half a decade based on soil tests. After seeing hundreds of test results, he was able to identify trends and then develop amendment blends to meet the needs of the generally depleted soil. These blends have nutritional ratios that are balanced is such a way to provide ample fertilization to an organic garden while encouraging a thriving microbial community.
Dep Blend
Made for indoor and light deprivation gardens. A 2-6-2 NPK, with a 4:1 Ca:Mg ratio. We like a higher Mg ratio due to the fact that Calcium levels are usually more than sufficient in soil that is being reused. The amount and type of nitrogen is sufficient for a short period of vegetative growth, with enough to sustain through flowering and fruiting. The mix contains sufficient sulfur and micro-nutrients as well.
