I need a simple, no hassle soil mix...
    #7532274 - 10/18/07 05:29 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Hello guys and gals. I'm an experienced hydro grower looking to set up a good old fashioned outdoor organic grow next spring. Seeing as I have no experience with soil growing whatsoever, the number of soil mix recipes I've come across has got my head spinning! I've always been of the opinion that the vast majority of green growers overcomplicate the entire process and I don't make to make the same mistake. So forget about recipes consisting of 15 different hard-to-find ingredients, I'm looking for a simple mix that will get the job done. Here's the criteria:

1. The mix has to be economical i.e. I refuse to dump a $20 soil mix into each 10 gallon bag!

2. Each ingredient has to be relatively easy to find.

3. I'd like to limit the number of ingredients to five, including polymers.

The following products are readily available to me and relatively cheap so I'd like to make use of them as much as possible: vermiculite, perlite, dolomite lime, worm castings, coir, bat guano.

Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks so much.

i used to grow organic and spent alot of money on some nice dutch "super soil"
yeah it worked well but i didnt see any noticable difference between that and standard potting compost...

the nutrient regime u use is far more important than the growing medium IME

stones for under the soil help with drainage :thumbup:
  and dig your holes as deep as possible
  if you dig a hole the size of a 55 gallon drum and fill the bottom with a few feet of stones and then add your soil  you will grow MONSTERS. :cool:

If you have the space for a compost bin/pile that will go a long way towards your goal, and follow the above posters' advice, you will be golden :thumbup:
