I really need the advice of any garden enthusiast or veteran. You don't need to be a so called expert.
Here goes...
I'm starting a late vegetabale garden. I have moved the planting beds and order some bulk materials. I have had horrible luck with the local soil here and not to mention, due to some issues I was unable to continue my compost pile over the last year. On one of our last trips to WDW I purchased I gardening book that gives some tips and other information. Well, in this wonderful book it lists a recipe for soil as being 50% peat 40% sand 10% bark chips. If I use this recipe I will spend well over $1,000.00 on the soil, which is kinda pricey. What I was thinking of doing is 60% mushroom compost 30 % sand 10% peat. Has anyone ever tried a mix like this? I'd be very interested in any comments.
Thanks
Patti
