Cant really have too much organic matter, I know that Jack Larue has 49% organic matter. As far as ppm, just keep the calcium to magnesium ratio at 7 to 1. For potasium and phosphorus I think that a few hundred ppm is sufficient. Without my soil info in front of me, I cant say the exact ratios on P:K. Numbers are not exact, but the basics are there, I'm sure someone out there has complete info.
