I have two questions:
1. Where can I buy coconut fiber, decomposed granite, and expanded shale? I want to make potting soil and I plan to make the blend recommended in the
Library on this site, under the "Potting Soil" topic. It says the ratios/ingredients are:
30% Compost
30% Coconut Fiber
15% Decomposed granite
15% Expanded Shale
5% Alfalfa meal
4% Lava sand
1% Greensand
Beneficial microbes (bacteria and fungi)
2. Do I use this same blend for growing seedlings?
Or is there something special that seedlings need?
I wonder, specifically, (1) if the mixture for seedlings should have a higher ration of sand; and (2) if worm castings should be added.
Thanks in advance for reading & replying!!
