What is your guerilla growing soil mixture?

Just like the title says, I've heard a lot of different soil compositions but what are some tips and tricks you've found to be effective. I'm at the point now where I need to be doing some leg work at some sites and would like to get something in the ground before the snow starts. Hopefully when spring rolls around all I'll have to do is pop my clones in the ground and let them do their thing.

I'm not an expert on this by any means, but I did get some solid plants this season. I combined potting soil, gardening soil, mushroom compost and a little sand and tilled the ground soil with it. It's tough work for me because the dirt here is basically clay.

This season i used organic potting soil, vermiculite and manuer. I grew my entire vegetable garden with the same mixture and had some pretty nice reults. It was inexpensive and really does a nice job, good luck.

Home Depot will sell broken bag of soil and manure dirt cheap. Mondays are the best days because of the weekend mad house. Also a good place to get there empty pots from small to big. This deserves a +rep

You're a lucky guy if you can get empty pots from home depot. I was there one day and they had a cart full of dead plants in their pots, and I asked if I could have the pots. They said no, sorry. We have to throw it all away if we want to be reimbursed on it. Crock o'shit.

Also, dont ever buy mushroom compost from home depot. Probably best not to buy any compost from them. Their shit is really low grade. I picked up some M. compost from them and it had the foulest chemical smell ever. You could tell it had been bombarded with pesticides, etc and not allowed any time to actually compost.

Buy your stuff at a seed & supply store. You'll get much better quality.

Hi add a mixture of Neem coir, Coco peat growing meidums along with natural bio composts, vermi composts, and if needed, Neem seed meal organic fertilizer for a pest repellent effect and with soil. This will work great for growing the plant.

different areas would call for different tactics i suppose but in the north i just stick em in the dirt and they grow fine with no adding or anything

Call me lazy, but I just use whatever is on sale at Home Depot. I buy the Kellogg and MG Organic bags. I amend it with Worm Casting and Perlite. As long as your levels are okay, you can use almost anything. Just buy a few soil test kits and maintain the nutrient levels.

Don't forget, regular dirt that everyone says not to use because it has bugs and germs and whatnot, can support big ass red wood trees. I think no matter what store bought bag of dirt you use, your already have a nice advantage. Just buy good seeds, start the plants indoors so they develop strong roots, and let mother nature do it's thing. They were born to do this. :)
