I bought mushroom compost today. So I'm asking before I mix my 25 gal. Of soil. I'm going with 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 mushroom compost.
Any one got constructive criticism for me here?
BTW in 5 gal. Growbags.

A lot of dudes are moving towards something like 40% peat, 40% aeration and 20% compost.

Make sure the mushroom compost is "good" before you use it. Put a couple handfuls in a bucket, sprinkle on some kelp meal or some ground oatmeal and wet it a little. If the compost is good white fuzz should grow out to cover the food in a couple days.

Ok , thx. The compost is good so I'm opting for 5 gal grow bags also.

Report: It worked almost too good, I water every day. It drains that well. Almost too easy. I did amend it with diatomaceous earth, No Bugs at all.
I might even add a pinch more compost. I know it's unheard of but your hearing it now. I HAD 0 ZIP NADA NO Problems with this grow.☆☆
