Masterblend mixing strategy
First off- no weed growing here. Just fruit trees, avocados, berries, etc. But you guys seem to be most active in discussing hydroponic nutrients so i'm hoping i can get some advice. For background, we have soil that is likely north of 80% sand. Great drainage, horrible nutrient retention. Likely because of this, we have acidic soil. Have done a ton of compost tilling into soil, but its work in progress. Because Ca/K nitrates dont acidify and even slightly alkalize i'm going to start using the masterblend formula. I have a system set up to fertigate using chapin venturi mixers like seen above. At the top is a strainer basket for solubles, where i usually put fert. Here's my question- would i cause lockout if i made the MB/epsom solution and then just added the nitrate directly to that? without making a solution? My idea was to put the MB/epsom into the strainer basket and then sprinkle dry nitrate granules at root line of plants/trees. Trying to avoid having to set up a whole mixing operation to something i already have trouble staying on top of - fertilizing. TIA!
