Karen's Potting Soil Mix




I get asked for this over and over again. Mind you, I don't even follow my own recipes very well. These are general guidelines. If you need a more acid soil (lower pH), add less or no garden lime.
  • 4 packed gallons shredded peat moss
  • 2 gallons perlite
  • 1 tablespoon garden lime
  • 1 tablespoon superphosphate
  • 1/4 cup Espoma Garden-tone 3-4-4 organic fertilizer with Bio-tone
  • 1 pinch chelated iron
  • 1 tablespoon Epsom Salt
The pH of this mix is about 6.5.
