Mixing soil for planters
I filled a very large planter with a mix of Whitney Farms potting soil
and Home Depot steer manure (about 4:1 or so ratio, maybe less). I've
been using it for years on garden beds, and I added it to a large
planter for the same reason Lori did - hoping it would enrich the
potting soil. Most of the "container gardening" searches I did mentioned
soilless potting mix, though, so Lori's reasoning seems sound to me.
