When using peat perlite and wormcastings, one does not need to use potting soil?
Here's some additional questions ahead, sorry if they're annoying:
So I've been trying to read all these organic soil posts on this forum to start an outdoor organic grow. Initially I will be growing them in pots outside, until I move to a more permanent location in june, at which point I was planning on transplanting into the ground. I am growing a NYCDxDC given to me in the og days.
From what I've read in using an organic soil mix bloodmeal, bonemeal, kelpmeal, dolomite lime, and greensand are the only ammendments you really need. Teas only need to be used sparingly. Is this right?
But I also saw Opt1983 giving a "basic mix" (he got from LC) recipe involving peat, perlite, and wormcastings... is this in lieu of potting soil? Or is this in addition to potting soil? Also when one mixes the soil, do you leave it in a rubbermaid container with holes drilled in the bottom only moistening it once and aerating it constantly? Can one leave this rubbermaid container outside, and does the lid stay on?
Also is there any problems transplanting from container directly into the ground?
Thanks for any replies to all these questions.
