Ingredients
- subheading: Combine:
- 3.5 parts screened compost (¼″ screen)
- 0.5 parts vermicompost (you can use all compost instead, if you don’t have any vermicompost)
- 1 part perlite
- 1 part vermiculite
- 2 parts sphagnum peat moss and/or coir (e.g., coconut husks)
- subheading: Soil Blocking Mix Recipes:
- Soil blocking allows you to use a soil blocker tool to create little “cells” of soil for your seedlings, without the aid of a celled plastic tray. (See the picture below for soil blocks.) We use and recommend these recipes from Eliot Coleman’s book, The New Organic Grower, if you’re interested in soil blocking.
- The buckets referred to below are a standard 10 quart bucket.
- subheading: Main Soil Block Mix:
- subheading: Combine:
- 3 buckets brown peat
- ½ cup lime
- subheading: Mix together, then add:
- 2 buckets coarse sand or perlite
- 3 cups base fertilizer (this is a mix of equal parts bone meal, colloidal phosphate, and greensand)
