I just repotted my youngsters (2 weeks) into 1 gal. pots using a similar mix, manure + compost, and perlite. (1/3 of mix is perlite). It seems to me Stinkyattic mentioned using that mixture and said it did well (which is why I'm trying it). Keep me posted on how yours are doing, and I'll do the same!
giggletwig Reviewed by giggletwig on . Compost mix I'm changing my soil mixture in an attempt to increase yields. I was using 1/3 MG potting soil, 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 coco coir (plus feather meal, earthworm castings, kelp meal). I've substituted the MG with a compost and manure mix that Lowe's has for $2.24/40lb bag. It's cheap and it's not on the human shit list. I've just transplanted some Solo cups to 1 gal and some 1 gal to 5 gal. Does anyone have experience using a similar mix? Am I missing anything? Any opinions? Rating: 5
