1 cup Garden Tone
2 gallons of organic soil
1/2 gallon perlite
2 tablespoons diatomaceous earth

and water with only half tap water, half distilled water

This is a very woody soil I think. But it is cheap and the tone should give it a boost. Is this a functional plan?

the cheap shit at home depot is super woody. I used it and ended up transplanting into better soil.

Id recommend this! Add some perlite and other stuff. I add epsom salt, dr. earth dry fert, and peat moss if i have it.

This is also the soil I use and home depot carries it.

There are earthworm castings, kelp meal and fish bone in the mix as well which is great!!!!
