so I noticed a few different soil recipes with differing amounts of
(this is what I used)
1 part compost/EWC
1 part peat/coco
1 part perlite
I see some recipes call for equal portions of each which is what I did on my first soil build
I came across an article in max yield and ive seen others mix it in different proportion for example;
2 parts peat
1 part coco
1 part compost
1 part perlite
1/2 part pumice
and with peat and coco being somewhat similar in purpose (3 part combined) this recipe has significantly less compost and perlite
what would one expect to so differently in the soil texture or any other factors comparing these two base mix ratios?
