Oldhead,

Thanks for the response. Since I am a total newb, Subcool's rap caught me. I'm looking for a nice intro to the field, so to speak. Once I get some notches on my belt, I may end up going the route of more control.

I was able to hit up a local shop today and get most of the ingredients. A few key items will be delivered soon, I hope, and then super soil away!

This seems like a wonderfully laid back and informative place to be. Highflyer really helped me out, and I'm glad to have good people helping a man get off the ground. Something about bootstraps... imp:

Within the next few weeks we can get this show on the road. I'll try and give some feedback with the supersoil, so we can see how this works for a beginner. The guy at the shop says he knows a guy in Providence who makes this mix, but tailors it to his own specifications. Sounds like my kind of guy, but I'm going to stick with the directions for the first batch.

Peace and Unity,

CD
