Might want to pick up some perlite too. And start with low amounts in case the manure is "hot", not properly aged, or holds too much water. Perlite will help cut the medium so it drains a little better, or you can get fine/small particle size composted bark (if you can find it).


This too, is also a good thread/FAQ about mediums for containers.
