Default Whats your soil recipe
permalink
Hey guys. Looking to improve my soil mix. Wondering what everyone else is using. Mine is as far:

Organic soil: peralite, Vermiculite, Peat moss
Worm castings
Bat guano (veg/ high nit)

I am finding that this recipe, and my soil is too dense. I am thinking of adding some lime and maybe more peralite and peat moss.

What are you guys using?

I use 75-80% miracle grow moisture control and 20-25% miracle grow pearlite. I was thinking of getting bone meal and blood meal but I wasn't sure how much I should add to my mix. If anyone can help please let me know, thanks.

Tom

I use 1 pt peat moss, 1pt perlite, and 1pt mushroom compost. I add 1 tablespoon of dolomite lime per gallon of soil. You could use some perlite and peat moss.

40% fox farm ocean forest, 40% pro mix BX, and 20 % perlite. This works great and my plants are loving it. Alone the foxfarm is way to much for seedlings, but cut with pro mix and perlite its perfect.

You add the earth worms to your potted soil?
