I'm currently mineralizing soil for a new 50g tank, really looking forward to seeing how it works out.
Incidentally, I added a step to the process, I'm hopeful it'll pay off. I ran the soil through an old blender (while in a slurry). 😬 After the second time drying it out, I strained it through a fairly fine colander, to remove larger pieces of wood--I was dismayed at how many small bits of wood I could still see in the soil. I figured these little bits would take some time to break down sufficiently through decomposition, so I decided to help it along mechanically. 😉 While I could have found a finer screen to sift the soil, I figured that would also be removing a lot of potential mineral content, and I happened to have the old blended kicking around gathering dust so...
Now my question, I've read/skimmed this entire thread but didn't find an answer:
Can anyone provide any input into quantity of Dolomite and Potassium Chloride I'll need for a 48" x 16" footprint?
I'm looking at ordering them on Amazon (Canada) as supplements (for human consumption), will 16oz of Dolomite Powder & 8oz of Potassium Chloride Powder be sufficient?
