I like to mix up a bunch of soil at once so I can have it ready for use for any application. I put together a soilless base mix that can be used for organic or synthetic for whatever style I am doing at the time. The recipe goes as follows:
-15 gallons coco coir peat (75%) as an inert base
-2 gallons earthworm castings (10%) for humus and a mild nutrient charge
-2 gallons parboiled rice hulls (10%) for aeration and silica
-1 gallon fine vermiculite (5%) for water retention
It can be amended how I would like at any given time. Do you have a versatile base mix that you use? What's your recipe?
