Default Potting Mix Trials

Testing a new potting mix for my indoor garden. The Bio-char is being added for water retention and nutrient retention and to reduces soil acidity decreasing liming needs.
If this works out, next fall I will be adding my city compost from the recycle center.

Used this mix for the 1 gallon pots and one grow bag, marked w/red tape
  • 2 bucket (3 gallons) peat moss
  • 1 bucket (2 gallons) Perlite
  • 1 bucket (2 gallons) Black Kow composted cow manure
  • 1 bucket (2 gallons) Coffee grounds
  • 1 bucket (2 gallons) Bio-char
  • 1 cup pelleted time-release fertilizer (osmocote plus) (6 scoops)
  • 1/4 cup of Blood Meal
  • 1 cup lime (to counter the acid of peat and keep the pH level near neutral
