My avatar pic is from yesterday. I use miracle grow soil.
there I said it!:stoned:
I use what stinky recommends in her growing guide, a mixture of humus and manure + perlite, mix them in about a 2 to 1 ratio (humus/manure to perlite), stuff works great for me.
This stuff- Agway store brand bagged composted manure with humus, cut by 20-40% with perlite (more perlite in winter, less in summer).
You can't seem to get it west of the Mississippi though.
If you use compost, it should be GUARANTEED pest and weed seed free.
Here's my mix...
70% Potting Soil (or soiless mix if you're going hydro)
15% Vermiculite
15% Perlite
This mix hasn't failed me yet and it seems to hold water and nutrients better than anything else I've used.
