Hey everyone, long time lurker with a question about some soil I just mixed up... I want to see if this mix will be reasonable to use.. Being my first time using a home-made soil I wanted to go as basic as I can and used what I had on hand
Base:
2.5 gal Coco coir
2.5 gal Florida ground soil (so sand pretty much)
2.5 gal Compost
5 gal Perlite
Amendments:
4 cups Garden tone
4 cups dolomite lime
2 Tablespoons Epsom salt
I mixed this up a few days ago and the mix is heating up to around 100 F. I have 4 weeks till I would need to use it. Will this work or are the base ratios to far off?
