LOAM SOIL

Hello RIU,,,, hope all is well in the land of the hazy fruit.... anyway, long story short, I'm in a country where resources are hard to find, soil is pretty much shit, and the laws against cannabis are harsh and extreme, lets talk about growing.... I have found this LOAM soil, and from what I've researched, its basically a mix of clay, sand, and soil.... it is good for water and nutrient retention, but might have issues w the clay clumping up and not letting oxygen in... anyone ever grow with this? I found worm casings, they were soft and mushy, almost fresh, can I add this to my loam soil, and some rocks to help with irrigation? yeah, no fucking perlite either... PLEASE HELP

You can use loam soil but you dont want to use that much you should try and mix it with a bag of regular soil or something if you can. Although you can use loam youll find it does'nt have very good Aeriation or vital nutes you plant or plants need. You best bet might be to try and make your own soil mix.

Small white lava stone available?
cotton seed hulls, rice seed hulls, peanut shells (non salted) or any coarsely crushed nut shell will work......Light and small sandstone pebbles will too...Can you get aquarium stones/pebbles (not sand). That will work......

The loam soil will work and sure, add the EWC
