Some people let the water sit for 24 hours before use with or without a submerged air stone.
I run my tap water thru a cheap (20$) home depot “whole house” filter with 3/4" in and out. U can rig it up to go inline with a garden hose and still get high flow rates with no problem(5gal/minute) Get an activated carbon filter or better yet a kdf85 insert i think theyre sized 2"x10"
This will remove chlorine and chloramine etc. This filter is also the first or second stage in a R/O setup so you could add that on after the fact
At the depot the brand is GE, lowes carries a different one. This specific one is $20 at home depot and they usually have it in stock. They sell almost the same thing for $50 and up so u have to make sure its the right one.
Put 2 in line and the first one has a sediment filter and the second has a carbon filter.
Throw in a couple brass adapters (3/4" female garden hose x 3/4"MIP) on the input and a (3/4" male garden hose x 3/4"MIP) on the output and u have urself some custom gear on the cheap
ive never done proper analysis to see whats going on with the nutes in the res. Im putting water in a big thing and then moving it into another big thing with aeration and I think it may remove the chlorine?
Or you have an antiquated municipal water treatment system. Chloramine is an upgrade from the perspective of the water company for the simple reason it is harder to remove.
its not antiquated its just good clean water. i catch salmon right near the water tratment plant. theres monster smallmouth bass too never got sick from water that i know of so I guess its clean enough without he chloramine.
I’d steer clear of manures for your mix. You don’t know what the cow was eating and those seeds are throughout.
Sterile peat moss for your base.
I like glacial rock dust for neutralizing ph,
Lots of meal. Crab meal bone meal blood meal.
Worm castings, Gaia green 4-4-4,
Blend of guanos,
Bark
Lots of perlite
Regular compost teas (molasses, Gaia 444, casting and guanos with water bubbled for 24 hrs)
Top dress with castings guano and gg4-4-4.
Holy fuck I haven’t seen that one, I has the one that was ultra low cost agriculture
Saw master cho and youngsung in murphy, oregon once, and they’re pretty beastly.
There’s a huge supply chain blockage on peat moss from Canada i.e. Premiere and Pro-Mix because of the shitty economy lately. Michigan peat is dirty and has fungus gnats right out of the bag. I didn’t see anything like lime for pH control on your list.
