First time veggie garden question

Hey all,

My lady and I will be putting together an outdoor veggie/herb garden this year. My current indoor crop will harvest about the time we hope to start putting this together. I'm hoping to recycle some or all of the Pro Mix I've got right now. All will be "flushed" by the time I harvest so it should be clean of salts, etc..

I realize that Pro Mix is a soiless medium and I plan to use some sort of organic fertilizer outside. Do I need to add anything to the Pro Mix for the garden? Can I even use it? Looking for any and all input. Thanks!

I have grown many different types of veggies and herbs and flowers in straight, fresh ProMix, as well as recycling my used ProMix blend, leftover from my ganja crops.
It all works very well.
I just started some more basil and tomatoes and sunflowers in my recycled ProMix.
You will be fine.

I have no experiance with soilless mediums

What is promix ?? A combo of peat/coir ?? vermiculite/pearlite ??

If so I would just use it to help build your soil by mixing it with compost/leaf mold/ manure / existing soil

I dont see any reason to flush the nutes out first , unless its a super high concentration

Depending on how you are doing your garden you may not need to add anything. I don't use promix, but when I am not recycling my soil in my compost, I mix it with the soil that was turned over from the ground in my garden. between the rain and just watering the soil balances itself out. have fun with your garden. I do one with my kids every year its a blast and they learn from it. If you guys haven't tried already put few in some pots and mix in with your garden indoor. For 2 years I grew cherry tomatoes and thai peppers indoors, this year hoping to do a little bit more.
