I thought I would post up what my soil mix is comprised of for those that want to know. As you can see I keep it real simple. I have another link that shows a mix that I emulated with MG products, due to the fact its winter and finding pine bark fines is no easy task this time of year. I hope some will find this helpful....Thanks for following....J

Just a thought, but if you've got chickens have you ever thought of composting the chicken manure and amending the soil mix with it? My understanding in that it has much better n-p-k values than cow/horse manure, especially if you know and control what your chickens are eating. Just seems a shame to let all that good poop go to waste (No pun intended... ok maybe slightly intended)

yes if you have chickens by all means make a compost pile every month so you have one you can start using in 6 months. toss in all you veg left overs and grass cuttings coffee grind egg shells. then you have a great natural mix. then you can test the strength with a plant or 2. see how much you need. im all about organic bro.

Hey Ace if you look at the pics of the mix of soil I use you can see it emulates the pine bark mix in the garden web link I posted. Only difference is the MG has composted chicken litter in it. I will be making my own, but very hard to do when every damn thing is frozen lol Is it spring yet? lol....J
