actually, the reason i suggested mushroom compost is that its the most expensive thing i can easily find....its about $6 a bag. ive read the faq's and their are SO many combinations, i'm just trying to get a good simple one. no one sells promix,greensand or worm castings around here. my options are pretty much peat, some kind of compost (mushroom,cow manure) or bagged potting soil. money isnt a major problem.....finding the ingredients is! i have spent some major $$$ on my new hobby and i'm ready for some good results!

ps this is going to be my 4th grow....at what point do i change over from "newbie" to "dummy"
