Soil Mix

ingredients: 1 bag potting soil
1/3bag mushroom compost
1/3 bag hummus
1/3 bag peat moss
1/3 bag worm castings
1/3 bag vermiculite


Mix
  1. pour all ingredients onto a large tarp potting soil first then the others in any order
  2. use your hands to break up any chunks
  3. work the mix together with your hands
  4. once the soil is well mixed have two people grab the corners on the same side
  5. have both people walk with the tarp pulling equally until the soil in 1 foot from the end of the tarp
  6. walk the two corners back so the tarp in flat again then go to the side that the dirt is on and grab those two corners
  7. repeat steps 4-6 until the soil is well mixed
  8. use your hands or a shovel to put the soil into a pot (in my experience hands are the best method) do not compress the soil.
  9. You are now ready to plant

this makes 13 square foot pots
