Composted Topsoil?
I visited my local nursery chain store, Star Nursery, yesterday, and bought a few 2 CF bags of their "Vegetable and Herb Growing Media" to get me started on my first SWC (5 gallon bucket based). One bag was $12. I have the makings of 6 Earthtainers. The women at the nursery told me that their composted topsoil will work just as well, with the addition of the Perlite and bark, as the bagged stuff. I'm guessing you disagree? I remember seeing a recipe for making your own growing media for SWC's, but can't seem to find it.
