Well, this is what I have to work with

Bone Meal 6-12-0
Blood Meal 12-0-0
Perlite
Scott's Topsoil

I couldn't find the worm castings at wally world. Sooo, I'm highly ignorant with mixing soil, so if anyone here knows of a good part:part ratio blend I'd be more than happy to hear it. Preferably with the four mediums I have listed.

Read the FAQ section on top. Also you don't have four growing mediums; blood and bone meal are fertilizers.

I was at a loss for the word. My apologies. I have soil and some additives. I shall check the FAQ, didn't think they had any frequently asked questions on the different variations of perlite, topsoil, blood and bone meal.

Lol, I mean no disrespect; however the FAQ does answer many questions. Also there are many threads on soil ratios, many tried and true. First off, I'm no expert; but you question raises more questions. Are these for seedling? The Scott's soil may contain some perlite, I'm not familiar with it but I usually like a little more. If you are using it for seedlings I would not add any additional nutrients; most packaged soils contain enough nutrients for your babies until they become established and can handle some nutes. Better to err on the conservative side. Good luck and happy growing.:mrgreen:

You're fine man, I didn't mean to come off as an ass, haha. I am making some soil for some seeds I'm germing. Again, I'll check and see what the FAQs have to offer before I continue. I would love to know of some ways of using my Bone and Blood meal as teas like the above guy mentioned.
