I am completely re-doing my gardens. What is a good soil mixture to hand make? I am using fox farms top soil to replace the other soil and maby leave some original for nutes it carries. I know there is more I could do to the soil before i spread it. I want to take it put it on a big tarp and spread the other parts to it. Any good ideas? Like 4 parts this 3 parts that ect? Thanks
The perfect soil mixture is equal parts,pete moss,course vermiculite,and compost that has at least 5 ingredients, the more the merry. With that mix you will not even have a need for fertilizer. After you harvest something you just add some more compost. With this mixture you do not use any dirt or other soil.
Fox Farm soil is excellent quality potting soil, but this would make a very expensive addition to any outdoor garden. There's nothing wrong with this, but most people would rototill in organic amendments, like manure, leaves, and compost instead. Pretty much the more the better, in my opinion.
Cow poo or rabbits even Llamas it helps with any plant.
