This is how I mix moderately large amounts of my personal soil mix, I don’t consider this to be the final word on mixing soil or anything like that; but I have got down a “system” that works for me… I use Whiteny Farms premium potting soil, that’s the easy part. But I cut in a homemade soil conditioner to bring it up to my standard of soil…
The first pic is my conditioner ingredients; kelloggs gromulch, garden and bloom; harvest supreme soil amendment, and norcal perlite…
The second pic is a done batch of conditioner, ready to cut into WF potting soil…
The third pic is a bag of WF potting soil, I thought you might want to know what a bag of this stuff looks so if you want to go buy some, it’s easy to find…
The last pic is the utensils I use to mix with and in… a mixing tub (deep and wide), a small planting bucket (about two gallon size) a storage container for the finished conditioner, and a shovel…
HOW TOO: first go take a bong hit or a couple vaporizer tokes, cuz this could be difficult for even a person of good health, not to mention the more physically disabled folks among us…. Now that your fully medicated, you can start mixing the conditioner. Dump half the bag of both the kellogg’s and the G&B into the mixing tub, now fill the two gallon planting bucket with perlite. Mix in the perlite with the other ingredients (in the tub, with the shovel) until the perlite is evenly dispersed in the mix. Scoop or dump the mix into the storage container. Repeat the above instruction with the remaining half bags of G&B and kellogs…
Now pour out a bag of WF potting soil into the mixing tub, fill the planting bucket with conditioner and dump it in the WF potting soil, do this twice (that’s about four gallons of conditioner for every bag of WF potting soil)…. You’re done! The mix you just finished is ready to use, although I do use some diehard transplant when filling the buckets. that is optional and doesn’t seem to have much effect other than slightly bushier plants, and the fact that the plants use less fertilizer, which saves me a-few bucks here and there….
i hope this helps someone out...
