Is there a place you can get perlite? Maybe vermiculite? You can use soil from from maybe a forest if close by. Or if all else fails I’m sure theres dirt around there somewhere. Have you tried online places? Maybe try Amazon you still may have time

Thank you
Yes I have tried online and as far as I can see people don’t fly that kind of sh*t to this country and on the forest side of things I would of loved to have one close but nothing worthwhile and I won’t be aloud to remove any dirt from there

There was a guy @skinnieboi10 I think he was from your area maybe if he’s still around he could help
@garrigan62 has a few good recipes also I have a thread you can look up call best soil recipes for Mj
And there’s a bunch of info on it for you
Getting stuff locally seems to be the issue in you country for my memory @Stoneherbal

MYCORRHIZAE™ PREMIER TECH (Glomus intraradices)
ProMixBX is available at farm and ag supply stores. 4CF for approx. 35-40 bucks. Great deal.

This might not help you immediately but if your country doesn’t offer it you may have to make your own. You might also look into acquiring some chicken guano that you can compost for 6 to 9 months for future use and start building soil for yourself.

Thank you very much I can get fresh chicken fertilizer but I can’t handle the smell ( and there way to many chemicals/hormones in the chicken here ) so I know I might be a thorn in my own side but I don’t want unnatural chemicals in my trees :slightly_smiling_face:.
my pile of lawn is almost decomposed enough, I was thinking of taking the cut lawn with sheep droppings and some black sludge form a riverside or a dam/lake and then put live worms in and mix it around and waiting about a month or so, turning it once a while
Would that be good or would you think it’s a waste of time

IMHO
Adding earthworms to your compost is a must
