It will be 321 delivered. Got 6 cubic yards of natures best organic, and 2 cubic yard of veggie plus compost.

Thanks for the kind words! I am hoping for 4-5# per plant. Lofty goals I know, but with all my experience under my belt, and the large size of the plants, I think its doable.

I picked up 10 gallon grow bags, will get all the plants into those next week. Everything is currently in coco so want them to get adjusted to soil, and get them to harden them off. I wanted something cheap, and like the idea of just being able to cut the bag off. Everything is currently in 5 gallon smart pots, so will have one more step up, then into 150 or 200 smart pots, havent decided whihc size.

the biggest thing that will be missing from the soil will be perlite. So might have to add some in.
lava rock and pumice stone ...
unless you can find p-lite cheap i perfer the pumice @85$ per yard by me...

Screened Garden Compost, with nearly 100% passing through a 1/2” screen and over 80% passing through a 1/4” screen blended with Organic OMRI listed fertilizer and Mycorrhizal Fungi.

it does not say what the fert is in the veggie compost .. LOCK that down ....

that bit of perlite mixed in should top up those pots a touch more as you thought you might be just short on filling to the top even with mulch ;)

I use both or rice hulls in place of the perlite. The lava rock slowly sinks in the soil and the perlite floats. Together you get a nice long term structure. You also can add coco:)

good Call!!
i forget about the rice as its not local or "cheap"
the p-lite breaks down with my worm activity and is so pricey i find the pumice to be a better choice for my area...

Make sure you get lots of glacial rock dust in there too. I always like to add a few shovel loads of native soil as well, to add native soil life and minerals. Looks like you have a great start to the season.
