do not forget the lime in your soil mix.
mscaboo Reviewed by mscaboo on . Making a soil mix Good morning everyone. My sister just recently gave me all of her gardening stuff because she tried her hand at gardening and such and failed miserably :(. Anyway i was wondering if i could make my own mix with the stuff she gave me and if so, what portions should i use? I'd rather make a soil mixture myself so i know whats going in it, since most potting soils usually have nutes in it. This is what she gave me... 1 very large bale of sphagnum peat (like 3.8 cf compressed or somthing) 1 Rating: 5
