I really wan't to grow fully organic and want to make a great peat free soil mix.
At the moment i'm buying organic compost and mixing 60% of that with 20% perlite and 20% vermiculite. I think its workin OK but I have had all sorts of problems althoug I dont think it was with my soil...?
I use Canna Flores for flower and BioGrow for veg. I also use Nitrozyme and BioHeaven, as I said I had a few problems. I believe they are all organic (certainly says so on the bottle!) and I use them sparingly due to the food in the compost.
Anyway, I dont want to buy the ready made stuff in the hydro shop cos it all comes with peat. I'm gonna start mixing in a bit of coco coir but what is the alternative?
It would be FANTASTIC if an experienced UK grower would give me their mix. I'm a nooby to organics, so be gentle if I'm being naive...
Thanks
