This is the way I do it at my house. Dig your holes. Save 1/3 of the best looking topsoil. Get the rocks out of it. Dump the stuff from the bottom of the hole out. Go down at least two ft. Bigger is better. Fill up the hole with 1/3 Fox Farm Ocean Mix, 1/3 Sunshine #3, a cup of bloodmeal, and two cups of bonemeal. Mix it up, but not too much. Then add the 1/3 of the best topsoil that you saved. Mix it up again. If your soil is real junk use more FF and less topsoil.


Water the hell out of it. Then plant your kids.
Thank you for the input, we finally had an early Spring here after countless years of going straight from Winter to Summer. One more month of the growing season was the best Easter present I could have gotten.

I'm off to purchase the PH kit. I found Fox Farm products, had to track them online to a nursery about an hour away. I'm going to use that as starter soil for my clones.

Thanks again,

Happy Easter!
