I use 1pt perlite, 1pt peatmoss, 1pt mushroom compost, any kind of compost is fine. I add 1 tablespoon of dolomite (gardeners) lime per gallon of soil.

Does anyone know if i should mix dolimite lime and perlite to Fox Farm Ocean
Forest or if I would be better off just leaving it alone they way it is? I also would like to mix bone meal and peat moss to mix through. I need to know if this is a good ideal or if it is bad for the plants

Im pretty sure the Ph of the fox farm s already balanced so im not sure if the lime will help or hurt
