Default Super Soil Recipes

I've gotten really into making soils. Anyone got their own recipes?

I'm currently using

Amendments:

Kelp Meal - 2.5lb box 9 dollars
Dolomite Lime - 50lb bag 11 dollars
Alfalfa Meal - 50Lb 21 dollars
Azomite - 44lb 24 Dollars
Bloodmeal - 3.5lb 9 dollars
Fish Bone Meal - 2.5lb 9 dollars
Mexican Bat Guano High N. 12 oz - 6 dollars
Indonesian Bat Guano High P 2.2 lb - 8 dollars
Buckaroo Worm castings - .8cubic foot - 15 dollars


Soil Base:
LGM Planting Mix 2.cu ft 11 dollars
Coco Coir 2-2.5 cu ft - 11 dollars
Perlite or pumice 3 cu ft - 11 dollars

I'm thinking of getting some crab meal, but it's a bit pricey. 44 dollars for 25 pounds.

The amendments i use per cubic feet is:

1/2 cup bat guano N
1/2 cup bat guano P
1 cup azomite
1 cup dolomite lime (LGM Planting mix is on the acidic side)
1/4th cup Blood meal
1/4th cup Fish Bone Meal
1 Cup Alfalfa Meal
1/2 Cup Kelp Meal

For the soil base I use
1/3rd LGM planting mix
1/3rd Coco Coir
1/5th Pumice or Perlite
1/10th Worm Castings

If anyone wants to chime in on my mix that be great. I'm currently letting my mix cook. I used it for a couple titan sunflower seeds I have.
