I have several large pots and tubs to fill and refill this year
and am thinking of getting out the cement mixer and mixing up my
own concoction of garden soil, home compost and a suitable
fertilizer.
But
1. what fertilizer and what ratio of soil to compost
should I use?
2. should I add anything else? Sand?


This is when you need the info I have written down in my blue book, which
was rubbished by people who said "you can find all this on the internet"
My blue book tells me how to replicate various John Innes compost at home.
And lots of other things. Make wine from potatoes? my blue book tells me
how. Refried beans? there's a recipe in there. Etc.
