keep it simple stupid!!! great growing soil is easy

[bbike1]

hey guys, been seeing tons and tons of beginners asking for types of soil. I know the fox farms is known as one of the best, but I have found something that I think beats it...

1 part Fafard potting mix
1 part Fafard shrimp and seaweed compost
1/2 part peat moss

This is a fairly simple blend, but I have found that it is excellent. all of my plants are growing fast, extremly healthy, and with the soils hi water retension, if it doesnt rain for 3 days, I don't sweat it, I have found that only after 5 days of 85 degree weather, no rain but all bright sun, it only started to wilt after this. give it a shot, I know I will never look at anything else, plus its cheap, and all the stores have it.
