Best potting mix available from Bunnings for outdoor grow.

Mushroom compost is volatile, I would never use it for anything.
For Sydneysiders, the best potting mix i've come across is made by Orchid Care Services, called Space Age Potting Mix. Don't be fooled by the name of the makers, it's not a coarse bark mix that you'd usually associate with Orchids. It may be a bit hard to find though. They definitely don't deal with Bunnings, and really only seem to deal with actual nurseries, including Flower Power. They're actually based in Vineyard, but i'm not sure if they sell direct to the public or not.

yes Bunnings and most nursery's will have them as well, I have even seen em at coles and safeway or woolworths depends what part of Australia you are in
Hey No i didnt add anything,
and i raised a seedling in one and its perfect! holds water for a while too..
great stuff!
basically...why?...is it so you can ask for it ect?...if you asked for a "block of compressed coco" you cant go wrong...cause thats what it is .HH. =]-~
ok ...there about 6 or 7 l x 4 w x 2 h inch bricks...but you can get some big ones that are around say(i dont know just guessing) a foot square sorta thing....if you say go to coles ect next time your in the shop look in the garden part where you can get thrive fert, soil,seeds,watering cans ect and you should see them there...but lots of them ones have ferts in them..which ive just avoided ...cause i dont know what they add and well...i just have my own ferts and add them when i need them...a real good flush should get them out i spose if thats all you can find...but there all around the place ..bunnings ..supermarkets ...garden centers ect....is good to add some perlite to add some air...but lots dont and ATM im not..only cause i need more than the tiny expensive bags you can get at bunnings and cause i cant get a 100 ltr bag home unless i get a lift or separate in half at the shop and buss it home...or cover with garbage bags...which ive done before but feel its a bit scary walking around with it if someone like me just thinks"hmmm perlite size bag???).HH. =]-~

Anyone use this? I used Debco as the main ingredient but added lotsa stuff. I supplement with aerated teas too. About the ph you want Dolomite in there, it's meant to lock the ph in for soil.
I didn't like the Kriedman's Farm compost but it wasn't too bad after I sieved out all the bark. The Naked Farmer soil activator seems a nice additive. All these are from bunnings.
Good thread.

I also use that Debco organic or terracotta and pot mix if I cant find the organic,add some wormcastings(up to 1/4 total),a bit of composted crap(horse this time),a touch of b+b and Dolomite lime add about 1/3 perlite and voila!!
I've grown without the addittivwes too and it seemed to work quite well
