hi guys long time lurker and grower but 1st time post

Im just wondering what soil mix do you all use for outside growing. At the moment im only using black earth and manure because of low funds

.

Im planning ahead for next year and i am wondering are the expensive soil mixes in grow shops worth it. it seems an awful lot for just 1 bag, also does any one use any of the tesco, aldi,lidl soils ?

also what do you guys do to help your plants from being drowned ?

thanks

try coco man get a 50 ltr bag mix it with indoor mix and some worm casting and put that bag in a hole in the ground.. any signs of trouble you can pull them out to move them .. you have to invest in your gro or you will have poor results.. hope that helps you man... also try given them less water.. make them work for you they are like kids feed them the gro up big and fat.. most people feed with nuts and water every 3 days

ok i did some research and apparently the westlands bags of soil are the best thing along with some BB.

Im also thinking that adding lots of perlite will get rid of the whole drowning problem.

also does ireland get the same weather as england or are we worse off?

thanks devilsharvest66 for the reply

west land is ok to use .. don't over do the perlite..about 10%... outdoors in ireland is crap.. what are you growing..
