I was talking to my hydro guy about premixed soil for my next outdoor grow. I have previously mixed my own, basically using a 20% worm castings 80% compost as a base and adding my own nutriants etc. ( Blood meal, bone meal etc.) which worked out ok as the worm casting / compost base cost about 45.00 per yard.
I figure I will be needing a minimum of 5 yards for my next grow and, as I am getting older and wimpier, I really do not want to go to all that trouble.
He said they will be getting a bulk mix in around feb from a company called Vermigreen. Vermiblend is I believe what he will be getting, at a cost of 85.00 a yard which I am willing to pay.
He did mention that it is a bit too hot for young plants and suggested that I use this on the bottom 2/3 of the hole or pots and use something lighter on the top so as the plants get older and sturdier they then can handle the hotter mix.
I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Vermicrop line of soils?????
I'm in the north valley of ca. and have a wide variety of options as this is an agriculture oriented area, with an abundance of hydro stores and nurseries.
Thanks in advance for any help on this
