Hi guys i've joined this purely because its going to be my first time growing and could do with some advice and tips etc. So anyway im planning on growing outdoors in either a raised bed or a green house structure covered with sheet polyethene and wandered if anyone could point me in the right direction i have friends who grow and they all think im stupid for growing outdoors but indoor growing is not an option at the moment due to not having the location to set up the equipment! i have read up alot on the basics etc and have most of the accessories needed to get a basic grow going my main concern is getting the potting/growing medium right ive read alot about the mix of high quality compost and perlite for better drainage and less soil compaction? could anyone tell me what kind of ratio to mix the compost and perlite at? also has anyone got a suggestion as to what nutrients i should use that are readily available at most garden centres as i dont live near a hydrophonics shop.

Thanks guys any advice and replies would be muchly appreciated!
