My family and I are trying to make a garden. We're reading a book about it and it said to make a mixture between Pete Moss, Cow Manure, and Vermiculite. I made a box, put wet newspaper on the bottom and made the mixture. But we ended up adding 3x the amount of Pete Moss needed for the mixure.Will this still work for making a vegetable garden? We're worried it may dry up the plants, but we don't know much about gardening so we don't know for sure. We don't have enough money to go out and re-buy all the materials. Any help at all that you can give would be great! Thanks!
You should use vermiculite mixed with water at a rate of 4 parts vermiculite to 1 part water. The container will also need a lid with air holes.
