Alright, I just came back from Canadian Tire and have acquired the following amenities for my soil:
1 bag Schultz Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss
1 bag Schultz Perlite
1 box C-I-L Blood Meal (12-0-0)
Now before I mix I want to give you guys the opportunity to recommend any supplemental ingredients for the soil that are relatively easy to find (I substituted Worm Castings for Blood Meal as I cant find worm castings outside of eBay).
As of right now, my ratio is:
45% peat moss
15% perlite
20% Blood Meal
which means I have a room for another 20%. I was thinking about vermiculite however since I already have perlite for drainage and root strength it may not be necessary.
Also, how well will the plants fair in a mix like this seemingly devoid of nutrients (other than the Nitrogen from the blood meal). Are there any organic fertilizer mixes with Phosphorous and Potash that can be added when mixing soil? If so, are they readily available?
Thanks guys.
