AGAIN- DO NOT HAVE A COMPOST HEAP
going to be adding a bunch of purchased compost to some planting beds this fall. found a big sack of biochar someone gave/traded a while back. roughly size of 5gal bucket. should help the crummy sandy soil so in it goes. seems folks like to charge the char while compost being made but we dont have that option.
what we do have is access to possibly some horse manure (not sure how old), fresh azolla, and local landscape yards that have steer and chicken manure compost. sometimes they have grape skin/seed compost (post harvest).
should we make a compost/manure slurry and charge the char?
or is it fine to just use a liquid fert product like fish/kelp fertilizer? i’m kinda hoping that should be ok since its easiest and i assume fastest. also since we’re going to be adding compost to the beds in addition to the char, we dont want it to suck up nutrients if we didnt age it long enough.
