Thanks for the replys guys.,..

I could use Coco for all the outside plants, Im just alittle nervous, Cuz I would hate my outside garden not to work out cuz I don't have all the right ferts etc.. Im not sure how old the manure is Its just shit I got at Canadian tire for likr 4 bucks a bag,,, Its probs garbage stuff but Its the only form of compost I can get at not having a car and all..

I think I should try some in Coco and some in proMix.. I need to keep this simple thast all. And I don't wanna always have to water with ferts. (thats why I got the slow release Fox Farm Marine Cusine. I still got some time to think about it Coco would probs be better for outside cuz it wont dry out as fast. I can get good quality Coco easier than getting promix.

promix doesn have lime in it but I figured the manure might lower the PH
my Tap water is 7ph.

Damm I got so much to learn.... I really want my Garden to turn out nice,, I want this one to be a grden I can actully show my Moms... and freidns... you know... the mary J garden no one sees except you folks...

Thanks for the inputs guys...

Im probs best to do some COCO and Marine Cusine and some ProMix Manure...

If it's commercial manure, it's probabley pretty well ripe- You could try it at, say, 20%.

If you need more, you can always top-dress and water in- but it's a real bitch trying to get it out if you have too much:)

Umm, the bag I'm looking at (ProMix BX) says that it contains dolomitic and calcitic limestone, which would be lime.

Ya pretty much need it to keep all that peat from bottoming out.

yeh kd watch the manure i would go as low as 20% especialy if its still active manure.I was told this was a prob i had with my cucumber bed i dug in fresh manure and it cuase all sorts of problem i was then advised to mix in the manure after the first frost and it would be ready for sowing the end of may.dont know if this is relavent lol the postman.

my soil had penguin manure.. guano actually as they call it.. the ones that grew in it are pretty good, it goes for about 3 months.. and that takes you through a life of the plant.

Penguin?

Now that's esoteric.

Thanks for the responses guys...

yeah I like to use the rule MORE IS LESS>.......

Espically when it comes to fertilizers... I have a few decisions to make before this weekend.

I will be putting the pots and soil mixes togethr this weekend. Its a little early still but I wanna really srapy the soil for bugs and shit befroe i put any seeds in those pots... And I might flush them through... I don't think thats nesseary,, I might do a watering with neem,,, or Safers End all... just to be sure there are no Thrip eggs hidding in the soil.. Or maure...

I think Ill do some in Coco and Some with peat,,,

I dont think ill add any Manure to the Coco though.,. I think Its best that I just use the marine cusine and My botanicare line up iin the coco. I suppose it safe to mix the two together but Since im not that familiar with coco. I think Ill hold off on adding anything to it untill I geta good hang of it.

Im getting real excited for this guys and gals... thanks for all the Info...

To manu decisions to make... COCO with manure? peat with Manure? All Coco grow....
