Question:

Which of these six soil additives is the best?

There's six soil additives I can choose: muck soil, pine sawdust, vermiculite, perlite, sphagnum moss, and biochar (from baggase).A. Which type of soil additive will hold the most moisture and prevent water loss.B Which soil additive will create the least nutrient runoff?

Answer:

i dont have a clue but i think it might be 2 pints against 1pint etc. but with your measurments couldne be bothered to read whole question
A quarter pint jar sounds like you need 1/2 cup total ingredients so your 2 = 2 oz or 4 tbsp and 1 = 1 oz or 2 tbsp. You need about 4 tablespoons of vermiculite, 2 tablespoons or 1/8th cup of brown rice and 2 tablespoons or 1/8th cup water.
you would use whatever vessel you want to measure with -- for example it could be a standard measuring cup, mix 2 cups of one with one cup of the others. With your quarter pint jar, add 2 jars of vermiculite, 1 jar of brown rice flour and 1 jar of water. Just make sure to use the same measuring vessel, or jar, for all of your ingredients to get an accurate 2:1:1 ratio of ingredients.

For example: if you have 1.2 ounces of coffee, you would multiply 1.2 times 21.33 to get 25.6 fluid ounces of water needed. 92.6 grams of coffee would require 2061CCs (2.06 liters) of water. Use the inverse factor to determine the amount of coffee to use with an unlisted amount of water.
