The Recipe for Steve Solomon’s “Solomon’s Gold”, With David The Good Extras

The original recipe Steve Solomon gave me to replace the minerals in my poor soil was:

4 quarts cottonseed meal
1 quart garden lime (better to use 2/3 quart garden lime and 1/3 quart dolomite)
2 cups pelletized gypsum
3.5 cups bonemeal
2/3 cup potassium sulfate
1.5 tbsp borax
2 tbsp manganese sulfate
2 tbsp zinc sulfate
2 tsp copper sulfate
1 quart kelp meal
1/8 tsp sodium molybdate

I have now added these additions to my mix for extra minerals:

1 Cup Azomite
1 Cup Sea90
1 Cup Greensand
1 Cup Magnesium Sulfate

Along with this mix, I sometimes also add a quart or so of Bentonite (via unscented clumping kitty litter) to make my soil stickier.
