Default Re: what are you using for potting soil?

I use a mix of coir/perlite/mini bark chips/slow release fertiliser for bigger plants, and a mix of perlite/vermiculite/coir for seedlings.

I use the highly compressed coir blocks, and wet it with a solution containing neem, fungicide, root hormone and plant booster. For nanas, I also use Mycorrhizal fungi when I remember!

Mustang do you use this mixture with no soil at all or do you mean that you add it to soil?

No soil. For seedlings, no soil at all. For my other plants, they are all in pots so again, no soil.
