Bought the castings at a local farm and their website says to mix 1 part castings to 4 parts soil.
Since I'm mixing my own soil does that mean 1 part castings to 4 parts peat moss? then add perlite after?
Or should i mix the peat and perlite 50/50 and mix in the castings 1 part per 4 parts peat/perlite?
Also the castings are very rich (in a good way) but can make the soil hard to drain and causes most the perlite to float.
I will eventually start using teas when needed but i want the soil to be decently rich but still drain good. I know i could just use teas the whole way with a soiless mix but I'd really rather not honestly.
Any suggestions are appreciated!!!
