Hi Everyone,
First time gardener from Ohio need your help. TIA. I am planning for vegetable plants in a wooden boxes of size 4 foot x 4 foot x 8 inches (=~ 11 cubic foot). Four of these boxes makes 45 cubic foot approximately. I filled these four boxes with the soil less medium as following: Coarse Vermiculite 15 cubic foot Sphagnum Peat Moss 15 cubic foot `Compost kind of` 15 cubic foot (1 cubic foot each of below) I have searched 50+ of garden centers locally (zip code: 45040) and couldn't find so called COMPOST. For next year I will be preparing my own compost so this question won't arise. But, to begin my first/ fresh vegetable garden; in the place of compost I used the following mix. I mixed them *VERY* thorough spending a week. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++ Question: is the following mix 'OK' to begin my garden? Am I sort of something here? Am I going to kill the plants with Over dosage? Any other suggestions/ideas to help myself is greatly appreciated. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++ My `Compost kind of` - 15 cubic foot is: 1.Mother Nature's SWEET PEET Composted soil conditioner 1 cubic foot 2.Nea's POSY POWER Powerful soil booster 1 cubic foot 3.Premier Horticulture PRO MIX Growing mix 1 cubic foot 4.Nature's Helper MUSHROOM COMPOST Organic soil 1 cubic foot 5.Garden Magic COMPOST AND MANURE Peat & Manure 1 cubic foot 6.Ace COMPOSTED MANURE Loosens soil 1 cubic foot 7.New Plant Life MUSHROOM COMPOST SOIL Soil amendment - 1 cubic foot 8.Garden Scape PEAT HUMUS Decomposed Organic - 1 cubic foot 9.Garden Scape COW MANURE will not burn 1 cubic foot 10.Organic Valley HUMUS ready to use 1 cubic foot 11.Organic Valley COW MANURE PLUS ORGANIC COMPOST Ready to use 1 cubic foot 12.Organic Valley ORGANIC COMPOST PLUS MANURE Compost & manure 1 cubic foot 13.Garick MOO NURE Organic Compost with Cow Manure 1 cubic foot 14.Country Stone COMPOSTED COW MANURE Soil conditioner 1 cubic foot 15.Earth Gro ORGANIC HUMUS AND MANURE Soil amendment 1 cubic foot Thanks & Regards Ganesh In detail (if you are still reading this post ;-) ) Assuming the product is what the cover says. 1.Mother Nature's SWEET PEET Composted soil conditioner 1 cubic foot Organic material made from wood shavings, farm manure & plant fibers (USCC) 2.Nea's POSY POWER Powerful soil booster 1 cubic foot All Organic: Horse manure, sphagnum Peat, Brewer's Grain, Gypsum & lime 0.7% 0.45% 1.0% 3.Premier Horticulture PRO MIX Growing mix 1 cubic foot Compost Enrich (from shrimp, seaweed, softwood bark), Microrise inside, Sphagnum Peat Moss, Peat Humus (OMRI) 4.Nature's Helper MUSHROOM COMPOST Organic soil 1 cubic foot 5.Garden Magic COMPOST AND MANURE Peat & Manure 1 cubic foot Reed sedge Peat, Manure 0.1% 0.1% 0.1% 6.Ace COMPOSTED MANURE Loosens soil 1 cubic foot 0.5% 0.5% 0.5% 7.New Plant Life MUSHROOM COMPOST SOIL Soil amendment - 1 cubic foot 8.Garden Scape PEAT HUMUS Decomposed Organic - 1 cubic foot A decomposed organic forest peat fiber 9.Garden Scape COW MANURE will not burn 1 cubic foot 1% 1% 1% 10.Organic Valley HUMUS ready to use 1 cubic foot 11.Organic Valley COW MANURE PLUS ORGANIC COMPOST Ready to use 1 cubic foot 0.05% 0.05% 0.05% (USCC) 12.Organic Valley ORGANIC COMPOST PLUS MANURE Compost & manure 1 cubic foot 0.05% 0.05% 0.05% 13.Garick MOO NURE Organic Compost with Cow Manure 1 cubic foot 0.2% 0.2% 0.2% (USCC) 14.Country Stone COMPOSTED COW MANURE Soil conditioner 1 cubic foot Cow manure, Peat and Humus 0.05% 0.05% 0.05% 15.Earth Gro ORGANIC HUMUS AND MANURE Soil amendment 1 cubic foot 90% organic humus (peat, compost, forest products) and 10% manure 0.05% 0.05% 0.05% |
