Description
This is the part where I slow down, check my measurements, and make sure I’m happy before anything goes into the soil.
In this clip, I show how I mix organic amendments into compost first instead of trying to top dress perfectly on each plant. This keeps things accurate, easy to repeat, and way less stressful.
Why I mix amendments this way:
Compost acts as a carrier and buffer
Mixing first prevents uneven feeding
No need to be ultra-precise with scoops
Easier to scale across multiple plants
Reduces the chance of overdoing anything
Here’s what’s happening in the mix:
Build-A-Flower compost as the base
Craft Blend measured per plant
Kashi Gold added at a reduced rate
WDG3000 mixed directly into fresh compost
Worm castings layered on top for diversity
By blending everything into compost, the amendments stay moist, biologically active, and ready to break down right where feeder roots and microbes are already working.
Living soil doesn’t need perfection, it needs consistency. This method keeps feeding simple, repeatable, and effective while protecting the soil food web
