Default Re: whats wrong? pewnny banana

ok so just a little update the seedling mix stayed way to wet almost like a soggy wet it was awful!!!! so I decided to make my own soil considering lol, I used straight cotton hull seed, and cotton hull meal I guess you would call it , its like a mix of hulls cotton and dirt so it does hold some water but draings great,we have a gin where I live and they have it in a huge pile and you can go and get as much as you want, mind you this pile is about 15 ft high and half a football field long and on the bottom is the best cause it has been there the longest and decomposing, its a rich black very loose soil, and a great fertilizer, so I mix this with some perlite I finally found at a Lowes in a different city for 5$, I think this is going to work great, even after it raining all weekend my plants soil is moist but still like fresh bag of miracle grow with a dampness not soppy soggy wet, and they seem to be doing very well ill keep yawl posted thankx guys
