aridbud that is some good advice and yes,those steers had perforated anuses at the very least.
cheap potting soil and espoma or Kellogg ferts works just fine.. done it many times in a pinch... I have had to however screen out some junk and add perlite to a few of em.. adding some kind of manure,compost,wormcastings,vermicompost helps too like mentioned below...
I've never heard of Kellog Ferts is that like pure blend sugar frosted flakes?
I'm pretty tired of paying 23.99 a bag for ocean forest or roots although mixing the two does kick ass.I went to Lowes and got a bag of just natural potting soil for 3.99.Anyone try it?.It was that or miracle grow "medicated" soil lol
