I know one of those. HAHA

[Lulu28]

Just been busy mixing a new batch of soil. Perlite, vermiculite, cow manure, mushroom compost, coir, charcoal and potting mix. Are all of these ok

[FunkyButtLovin]

Sounds like it will work great. My outdoor mix always contains vermiculite, cow manure, mushroom compost and peat moss (alternative to coco). Sometimes I add other stuff but these ingredients are a mainstay. You don't need perlite and vermiculite (one or the other is enough) but it won't hurt anything. I've never really used much charcoal to grow anything but random poor pot farmers all over the world use it although I imagine that is because they have no access to or cannot afford fertilizer/nutrients. Potting mix is unnecessary as well.

What do women and Cow Patties have in common? The older they get, the easier they are to pick up.

Why did the mushroom go to the party?

Cause he was a fun-gi
😂😂😂😂😂

[Lulu28]

I only put a little charcoal and was going to use it to line the bottom of the pot.
I got bags of all that stuff for free and as this is my first time I just thought I would add some of everything. Lol
FunkyButtLovin can u advise roughly how much manure and mushroom compost u would use/add roughly . What ratio?

[FunkyButtLovin]

I use about 40-50% peat moss and pretty much equal parts of the manure, shroompost and vermiculite. I use this mix outside in wicking barrels pretty much exclusively but I'm sure it would work pretty much anywhere.
